Comic-Con 08: Shazam, the Joker, and Green Lantern headed to MK vs. DC photo

At Midway’s panel today at Comic-Con, a slew of new characters were unveiled for Mortal Kombat versus DC Universe. On the DC side of things, the Joker, Shazam, Green Lantern were all announced. As for the Mortal Kombat characters, Kitana, Shang Tsung, and Liu Kang were confirmed as well. Unfortunately, no footage of these characters was specifically shown at the panel.

If new characters weren’t enough, a special comic by DC and a PS2 bundle were also announced. Details on the comic are a bit fuzzy, but according to GayGamer, it will be a tie-in to the game. The PS2 bundle will consist of the last three Mortal Kombat games released.

You can put all of the Batman villains in the game that you want, but I will still never get over the fact that Johnny Cage has yet to be announced, Midway. At this point, I’m begging you to care about my passion for the man with the split-punch. Think of all the redeeming value and laughs that go into punching Shazam in the nuts. Please.

The Joker's fatality "I'm going to make this pencil disappear"

PENCIL OR GTFO!

Shazam? Do you mean Captain Marvel? Shazam is the name of the wizard who gave him his powers.

Cage hasn't had the split punch in a long time I think... It is time to change this! I'd like for it to work on the women too (don't tell me it wouldn't hurt).

No Scarecrow yet? That would be some wicked awesome shit.
Also, I second the Harley Quinn vote.

Stupid question: Is this coming out for the Wii too? I hope so, because it has the Joker. And Scorpion. IN THE SAME GAME.

I predict any Superman vs Captain Marvel matchups in this game will fail in comparison to their fight in Kingdom Come.

Darkseid or Doomsday and I'm sold. Also, Bizarro.

@Mirax

nope, but nothing has been announced... yet, all signs still point to nope. Runs on the Unreal 3.0 engine, which does not run on the Wii.

Why are they calling Captain Marvel "Shazam"? Anyway, we've known about him, Shang Tsung, and Liu Kang for a while now.

Joker, Green Lantern, Kitana, and Jax are the new characters that were confirmed.

All I can hope for is that it's not John Stewart as the game's Green Lantern. I like the guy, but I'm a bit sick of him. If you need a black guy, use Black Lightning. Man's hardcore.

I'd love it, but I doubt I'll ever see Mr. Terrific in a game. He'd actually work really well here. Now that's what I think of for a black superhero.

I say Hal Jordan, with Parallax as an alternate costume or something.

Joker makes me happy but if they included Bane, Azrael, or the Sandman (Vertigo version), I will be most pleased.

I don't care who is in it. If that gameplay footage that I seen from those trailers doesn't change, this is going in the "must avoid" pile.

Captain Marvel..wouldnt have been my first choice. I'm surprised Wonder Woman hasnt been announced.

As for the Joker and Green Lantern they're ok in my book

I don't really see the Joker as a hand to hand combatant. That's not exactly his area of expertise.

Joker's fatality needs to be him pulling out a knife and carving a smile into his opponent's face.

Also, Jax was announced too. Sorry, still no Cage.

If Friendships make a return, I can only imagine what kind of silly nonsense the Joker would pull off.
