These two new MK vs. DC Universe trailers bring us up to 10 million videos released on the subject. Midway is marketing this game like its life depended on it, and given the financial climate, that's probably not outside the realm of believability.
In any case, we have another "Mash Up" trailer for you, and another video showing off the finishing moves. I think the finisher trailer is definitely worth a glance. It involves Liu Kang and Batman, and it's by far the most stupid video we've seen concerning this game. That's really saying something.
Hit the jump for the vids. Scenes of violence, not suitable for kids, all that legal stuff we feel compelled to say to keep the ESRB from buggering Midway in the arse.

Though, props for a pretty cool Batman finisher, Midway.
I Like the Liu Kang one, very retro. Batman Sucks and Baraka... Where is The Blood!?
I'll take the money I would have spent on this and use it to import Tatsunoko vs Capcom. You know, the versus game that DOESN'T suck.
As well, the final Boss is not a tank with no weaknesses other than dial-a-combo's. He's a huge, fast character that can be fought, and it's not a drudgery or a complete game shift when you finally get to him, so that's good.
The story mode is a super nerd-gasm for any fan of the MK or DC characters, which I am, so I admit my bias. Still, while Street Fighter 4 will undoubtedly trounce this in the fighting department, the game has tons of personality and fun, and the mechanics are not as stiff as the video's seem to show. I'm honestly smitten. /drool
MK is still dead.
for example, the Batman one would be an awesome finisher if the bats actually picked the victim clean to the bone. Instead since DC wants their heroes to not kill, they changed it to "OMG BATS!!!! GETMEOFFGETEMOFFGETEMOFF!!!!"
The only hope this game has is that it plays well, and considering MK's past, it's in deep trouble.
But ehh....
Any word on wether or not you can use the fatalitys that actually kill on the DC Heros?
In other words, the gameplay looks like some classic MK fun, while the fatalities make me want to chop my own dick off. Which, if I were in that game, would apparently not be possible. Why, duing a fatality, would Baraka swinging his blades at someone's deads not cut their head off?!??!!
Fuck.
