It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Supermeng in Mortal Kombat vs DC photo

Wow, what a total surprise. One of DC's most iconic characters is going to be in Mortal Kombat vs DC. Who ever would have guessed this would have happened. I am totally shocked and amazed that the legendary Superman is in this game.  

Okay, enough sarcasm for one night. As you can see by these new images from the official MK vs DC Web site, Superman is ripped and ready to kick some Outworld ass. The image shows Superman in a very devastated Metropolis with the Daily Planet building destroyed in the background. 

We also have a new concept shot of what looks to be a stage from the Mortal Kombat dimension. The place looks pretty much like Hell with lava and skulls all over the place. No clue as to who the two fighters are in the middle of the image.

So what do you all think of the Man of Steel here? And please, save your comments about how Superman should be able to kill everyone with just a punch and what not. It's obvious that all the fighters have some form of Kryptonite on them that makes Superman weak. Or hell, I don't know, maybe the sun has turned red. I know we're going to hear some dumbass excuse eventually about this. 

[Update: Looking through the Wikipedia bio of Superman, it's said that his powers can be disrupted by magical/mystical attacks. That would work for me as an excuse as to why Superman isn't as strong as usual.]

@Trevor McGee: *Gasp* What's the crossover called? Also Lucy Lawless from the Simpsons clearly stated that if anything out of the ordinary happens it's because of a wizard.

If by character depth you mean never changing, one note, dark and brooding then I see your point.

Batman is like Sam Fischer in Double Agent, he loses a family member so he becomes dark and brooding then uses gadgets to fight crime.

Batman = Sam Fischer in Double Agent = Sucks

The issue about Superman not being able to destroy the universe with his eyelashes should be the exact same issue about Raiden not exploding his enemies with a fart, given he is a god. This can all be answered with these words: MERGING OF REALMS.

As every MK medium piece has struggled to tell us, Raiden has no powers in Outworld; if we couple this to Superman's known ability to pussy out in front of magic, then there's the story: DC Realm and Outworld are merging into one, hence balancing out the abilities of those who would otherwise send us six feet under with a dirty thought. Superman“s weakness being magic, Raiden weakness being Outworld, is perfectly explained by this.

Oh, I just spoiled the storyline, maybe Ed Boon will sent his worst to get me, hopefully Scorpion to send a harpoon up my ass, out of my mouth, an inexplicable burst me in flames then explode bloodfully into my room. Wait, there's an enormous bee out of my window....

@Terror Player.

scorpion can't do that. no fatalities, it's under his new contract.



also, i still rest my case that any game that contains Superman is shit. someone prove me wrong. go ahead, try. i'm right.

this game is fail on that reason alone.

god damn retcons...
Though that does remind me of one think DC and MK have incommon... their tendency to retcon death

@B-Radicate
"But god forbid he mix it up in a GAME that is made to be FUN well before it is supposed to fit within the confines of an established LORE. "

The problem here is that DC vs MK has a very serious tone to it. Serious tone has an effect on suspension of disbelief; when things are serious we expect the established lore to remain true... The game comes off as "a serious and epic battle of worlds colliding" as opposed to "DC vs MK, wtf, lol"

This is one of the reason why capcom vs marvel worked out... the game was given a rather light tone. There was no serious plot line. The directors didn't have to say a thing to get off the message "Hey look, its a crazy cross over, have fun with it"... We know right away that the game s just meant to be fun and literally nothing more... Hell the games really do scream "spinoff" considering where all the characters come from... this is very different from what Boon and the DC writers are doing since they are trying to create a dark and serious tone with an actual plot line; their not trying to be funny with this game, they take it very seriously... hell this isn't even a spinoff, this is the MAIN mk storyline
