A few days ago, Midway gifted us with their official E3 game lineup. Despite the assortment of titles, the game on everyone’s mind is still Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Today, we have a host of new screens and a special never-before-seen gameplay trailer that will be shown at E3 this year. Consider this our little gift to you.
The screenshots show off a few new characters in action, including the Flash, Catwoman, Sonya Blade, and Shang Tsung. The Flash is looking about as cool as a guy that runs really fast in a red jumpsuit can, but Sonya and Mr. Tsung are looking up to the task. I’m still really disappointed that I have yet to see Johnny Cage. I think that man’s elbow fireballs and split-punch would be an awesome addition to this new franchise. Almost as cool, though, is the screen of Scorpion giving the spear to Catwoman. Something tells me that a metallic arrow on a chain especially hurts in this region.
The trailer shows off some of the sweeter things in Mortal Kombat, like blood and the possibility of a nasty Scorpion finishing move. I’m not ready to call this an instant classic yet, but I’m sure we’ll have a ton more information on the title next week at E3. Until then, wet your appetite on these screenshots below and check out the official trailer after the break.

Like.. a real fatality?
Coz if so, that is some gross shit, and whoever came up with it needs some slapping.
Hopefully the have Joker and Doomsday in the game as well. They would be awesome.

MK has always tried to emulate popular, better made fighting games and have always failed at doing so. I just wonder how much longer they can cover their tracks with gimmicks, blood and gore.
Also... I have one wish, online play. Nothing better than fighters with online play. I loved DOA4 and their online... come on guys, please?
And not that a game of this concept would involve a high level of logic, but I'm assuming Flash doesn't have a special move where he can run for his life if he's getting his ass kicked?
MOOOORTAAAAAAALL KOOOOOOMMMBAAAAAAATTTT!!!
And I see nipples, UNACCEPTABLE.
Screen look pretty cool though.
This just looks krazy.
Also, I hope this will be 2D ( fighting ) gameplay only, but with 3D chars, like SFIV.
FINISH THE FIGH- uh. HIM !
I would love to hear Danny Elfman's Batman theme.
Are you crazy, it doesn't even compare to MvC
DC v/s Capcom would be ideal.
Superman is also weak to some forms of magic, and i prety sure MK is full of magical things.
I'm not sure how they do it with Captain Planet but most comic book writers had taken good care of superman's weaknesses since crisis of infinite earths.
I can't wait, obviously.
And MVC2 was a great game, but I wish that people would quit acting like it's the God of all fighting games. It was ridiculously unbalanced. MVC2 is like playing Smash Bros. with items on high and only choosing stages like Spear Pillar. At least in Smash Bros. you have the option of playing seriously by turning off items and certain stages.
And Ryu fighting the Hulk makes about as much sense as Scorpion fighting Superman.
I never was a big fan of the MK series. The whole combo system and large button combinations never worked for me. Although it would never happen, It would be sweet if one day we saw Capcom vs Mortal Kombat. Especially if it used the same ideas from Capcom vs SNK with multiple grooves and styles of fighting. FAP FAP FAP is all I have to say.
So basically, Batman might have fatalities but Superman is more likely to end the fight taking his foe to prison.
A next gen game has arrived and it still looks stiff and slow, maybe I will pass.
So, MK just seems to be getting...worse? I dunno. It's weird. We'll see.
don't worry capt. marvel is in the game so go ahead and "shazam"
your pants.
I think it was.
