By far the coolest thing I’ve seen come out of Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe was the Joker’s fatality, which you may remember from back in August.So of course I, along with a great many of you, was upset to hear the punchline to his killing joke was edited in order to secure a teen rating in the states. Well now I am even more upset.
