When we first heard about Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, we shared a good laugh. After playing the title, we’ve come to understand that MK is still a valid 3D fighter. Of course, with any 3D fighter there is a decent amount of depth. In this latest video featuring MK vs. DC, Midway talks about some of that depth – the Super Move and Pro Move.
Super Moves are a staple of the Mortal Kombat franchise. It’s Scorpion’s grabby thing, or Subzero’s freeze spell. Pro Moves are an extension of Super Moves. With what Midway calls “impeccable timing,” players will be able to flesh their Super Move into a Pro Move, which will then double the projectile, inflict more damage, or extend combos.
In a slightly related note, Kotaku is reporting that The Joker’s Fatality that we all fell in love with so long ago has been pulled in favor of a more peaceful, T-rated version with the face-shooting action happening off screen. Go ahead and cry. It’s okay.

I wasn't all that interested in the game but was actually thinking about picking it up just because the joker's fatality was hilarious. ah well. more money for the prime titles this fall.
fuck that t rating shit man. mk gameplay was always sticky and ugly. now theyr gonna skrimp out on the fatalities JUST LIKE IN ARMAGEDDON?
THANKS.
fawwwk
Joker's fatality was "cool", but who needs it, really? You do the fatalities a few times, they get old, whatever. If the game is solid, a changed fatality isn't going to kill the whole title. Anyone who was going to purchase a $60 game for one animation asset is dumb, especially someone who has access to the internet.
Still jazzed about this.
That's not what I said.
Mortal Kombat has never been a good fighter. The whole idea of Pro-Moves kind of proves they have not a clue on what makes good combat. Everything else in the MK series will tell you they never have.
The only thing Mortal Kombat had on its side was that it was "fun". That fun has worn off a long, long time ago and nostalgia can only get you so far.
No love from me.
is that what Midway Developers call Just Frames?
and the fact the Joker's fatality got cut means whatever coolness this game had (which was just that.) has now officially left...if true.
They could of not taken this out but NOOOOO they had to pee in the soup.
Stupid Soup peeers.
For me the "magic" is gone.
Also, WAAAAAH! Joker fatality.
same ole unbalanced nonsense from the past 3 3d MK games. I expect everyone to have 3-4 infinites with Katana leading the way with her fan setups.
stop making sub par MK games Midway if they're not worth our time. Putting DC characters in the lineup will not make a big difference.
....hello?....
A shame that it is being pushed off-screen.
