Midway has kindly shared with us the latest screenshots for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, which reveal The Joker and The Green Lantern in action for the first time. For those who dont know, the Green Lantern is the one dressed in green.
The graphics are certainly not the best I've ever seen, but I'm certainly warming up to the concept. Sure, it's a ridiculous cash-in, but that doesn't mean it won't be fun to smack Batman in the face as Scorpion. Smash him right in his frigging face.
Either way, I'm one of the few people who didn't think that the modern MK games were all that bad, so I'm hoping for a thoroughly silly fighting game that should amuse, even if it won't blow one's bollocks off with creative revelation.

Liu Kang ftw.
So this game is really happening huh?
I don't know why the more recent MK games get so much hate. I think it's a combination of the series' transition from 2D to 3D and the habbit people have of remembering the past as being better than it actually was.
Pretty much any 3D MK game is just as good a 3D fighter as any 2D MK game is a 2D fighter. I don't think MK's ever gotten better or worse. It's just gotten different, and some people can't stand change.
