Apparently there is a basis for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The trailer above possesses the first story elements ever to be mentioned about the game, and we wonder why Midway waited so long.

The heroes and villains from both universes are beginning to disappear. According to Green Latern (and corroborated by the likes of Batman) the MK and DC worlds are merging. This merge is causing the contamination of the entire galaxy. As a result, both sides must team up with their villains and fight the opposing universe.

While I’m not wholly opposed to Joker playing ball with Batman, I can’t help but wonder how long it took to draw this up. I honestly hope Midway spent the majority of their time fine-tuning the mechanics instead of attempting to make Wonder Woman appear as vapid as possible.

That said, I’m pretty happy that there are cut-scenes. Let’s hope Johnny Cage’s burnt, autographed picture makes a comeback. How are you guys feeling about the trailer?

@Reaprar-No, sadly. So far, the v.o. actors remind me of every other MK game I've played...which kind of sucks.

That certainly isn't Hamill as the Joker... though whoever it is isn't doing a terrible job. Batman's voice kind of bugs me, but really it's a fighting game, so who cares? We don't play for the narrative.

Random note: Don't you hate it when a game trailer comes out and 1/4 to 1/2 of it is taken up with publisher and developer logos?

Man... I'm not a fan of either series, but something about the game makes me want it badly.

Is it Joker's fatality?

How exactly was Wonder Woman vapid? She didn't have enough screentime to be vapid.

Seriously does the story really matter in an MK game?

What worries me is that I think an actual comic book writter (Jimmy Palmiotti) helped with the script..so really a story that looks this non-sensical is unforgivable.

Then again i don't know what else you could have done with the concept of MK vs DC

That was some cheesy ass cutscenes. Par for the course considering recent MK titles.

Only thing I care about is Joker's ending, and within a day of the release I'll see that on YouTube.

It sounds like they took the basis for DC Vs Marvel and raped it.

After reading an article about this game month ago. My doubts about MK actually "evolving" were silenced. Although its nice to see the series try something different, "kiss-ass" it is not. Sure it may be having to honor the ratings system (with DC's lawyers watching?) Perhaps an unlockable "Rating" breaker could be available.

But I do enjoy the new look of the in-game engine. In the past it was so washed out, sometimes I wasn't sure what I was watching on a friends tv 1/2 the time. So there's a plus, who knows maybe there could be a positive spin for this new entry after all. Just the MK fan community has one track mind.. not an easy obstacle to get over. Period.

So it's pretty much the same concept they used for the Marvel/DC crossovers back in the day? Gotcha.

I haven't seen it posted anywhere, but has anyone confirmed whether or not Superman will have the 'flying' horizontal dive Raiden's had since the beginning of the series?
I know it's a dumbass fanboy question, but if Supes doesn't have something that basic in his moveset, I'm throwin' the challenge flag.

The only good part about MK vs. DC is the Joker, and his fatality got censored. Fuck this game.
