The Joker's fatality in MK vs DCU is AWESOME.
covah \| 10:01 AM on 08.22.2008	55 comments

You can skip through the video to get what I'm talking about, unless you want to hear about MK vs DCU's "rage mode." But as to my knowledge this is the first time we've seen the Joker in action and the first time we've seen an actual fatality. Now when the joker was announced I remember posting a comment here saying "Pencil trick fatality or GTFO" but quite honestly, the real fatality doesn't disappoint me at all. I watched it and thought midway through "lame" then the REAL deal comes out and it was a major "OH SHIT" moment.

classic Joker.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Clance

Awesome.

randombullseye

I love it. Classic Joker.

nebones

I thought I read some where that the DC characters weren't getting fatality because it's out of character. AND THAT FATALITY WAS AWESOME!

king3vbo

...mind blowing amazing

taterchimp

Heh. That was pretty funny. Also, the game sure looks pretty.

Edarios

hah i didn't really expect that at all.

randombullseye

*fingers cross for superman heat vision lobotomies*

tazarthayoot

That was really good. I mean, really really good.

shipero

I like his fighting stance.

@Nebones

The heroes don't have them the villians do.

RICHARD BLOCKER

That was great.

Cowzilla3

ok he said masses way to often but that fatality was bad ass.

ZServ

i have to buy this game now.

Maurice Tan

Sweet!

kaciesaurus

that fatality alone makes me want to play this game.

Holyetheline

Wow... this is the first footage of this game that I've seen that I actually like. It's not looking to bad anymore.

Char Aznable

That was a really cool fatality.

What's up with Joker using the "Notre Dame Fighting Irish" stance?

Justice

That was pretty funny.

electristan

this game is looking better and better, well done midway on the redemption :-)

bilobatedtimmo

That fatality was PERFECT for the joker.

covah

@Char

I think they're just trying to give him a weird feel, like the guy said in the video I cant really see the Joker as a brawler so giving him a sort of "Put up your dukes" stance just makes him goofy.

TrailerParkJesus

I hate that this game exists, but I gotta admit that's a pretty cool fatality.

Y0j1mb0

Hmmm.

Daxelman

Pwnt.

galagabug

my job? my job was to shoot the bus driver :)

GuitarAtomik

This game just won my respect.

Mr Wilson

Potential sales just went up roughly 500,000,000%

twincannon

Classic Lyle!

brandon85

That was pretty awesome

Kryptinite

10 bucks that doesn't make it into the game.

EternalDeathSlayer

Classic!

Mentok the Mindtaker

I squealed very loudly.

13thDragon

Yeah, I bet it gets cut after DC sees it.

F Whipple

Yes!!! Awesome!!

Benefactor

The Joker wins.

covah

@13thdragon

Yeaaaaaaaah, you don't read the comics do you? Cus, shooting someone? Uh the joker has done a lot worse.

free touch

it'd be awesome if his other fatality is to bludgeon someone with a crowbar,

Or shoot someone in the back, and take pictures and make their dad watch!

mix

Holy FUCK BALLS, I will have to buy this game now!

MK has been one of the only fighting games I could stand and being able to see DC fatalities is going to be so awesome!

covah

@Free touch

thus, the "a lot worse" things The Joker has done. I was going to bring up the Robin and Barbra Gordon things buuut I figured it would of been a waste haha.

Aaron Mxy Yost

I would have preferred him beating the character to a pulp with a crowbar and leaving him inside a building about to explode.

ghets

"One of the greatest special moves in the history of fighting games"???

He must not have played many fighting games.

Moltar

The fatality made me chuckle, but I'm still not excited about the game.

covah

@mxyzptlk

then players vote to see if they live or die.

scorpius

Awesome faltality, although the Joker looks kinda creepy in MK vs. DC

SLiFE

Mxyzptlk beat me too it.

Remo

I can't believe I now want a mortal combat game.

Garbz

Feh. It was an ok fatality. I mean, it made me lol but IMO fatalities need to be stupidly over the top and all this was was the joker shooting someone in the head.

I know people are messing around when they mention the crowbar but i would generally prefer it.

Reckon it would be a lot more shocking if the joker actually beat them to a pulp after the fake gun rather than actually shoot them.

Wexx

YES

Furnimus

That was a really awesome fatality. If they put the pencil trick in as another one, on top of this one, I'm reserving two copies.

Do want.

Conan-san

Huh, I was half expecting the "Bang!" flag to launch into her head.

You Know, all "Return of the Joker" like an all?

dtomek

The gameplay looks as stiff as every other MK game ever. Bleh.
