E3 08: Mortal Kombat vs. DC skreens and trailer photo

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.

Those animations are destroying me. This doesn't look good at all. Maybe it will get better before it releases.

Why do the characters look so clunky ? ... like Superman 64 or something.

Look, I know you're just trying to be edgy and shit, but this game does not look anything like Superman 64 (either of them) and to even consider the comparison is utterly ridiculous.

wtf....did they need to give Superman a very revealing crotch outline? The shading draws attention to it. Seriously, what kind of weird fraking muscles are those, squished under his red undyroos?
