They're currently battling it out with Mortal Kombat's old school cast in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and will be appearing in Sony Online Entertainment's DC Universe Online sometime next year. DC's also bringing the spandex-clad mainstays to arcades with Justice League: Heroes United from Global VR.

The arcade release is being promoted at the IAAPA expo in Orlando, Florida but doesn't have a physical presence, according to Arcade Heroes. The manufacturer is, however, showing the 3D, cel-shaded brawler in video form on its web site. Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Hawkwoman, Wonder Woman, Joker, Harley Quinn and Lex Luthor all look to make appearances in slightly anatomically incorrect form.

<![CDATA[America's Army To Recruit At Arcades]]> The U.S. Army's recruiting tool-cum-video game America's Army is coming to another unexpected platform—arcades. The Unreal Engine-powered lightgun shooter will be published by Global VR and developed with U.S. Army "subject matter experts" and act as a "communication channel with young Americans."

America's Army for arcades will focus less on the shooting of terrorists or insurgents and will instead consist of a series of eight mini-games that emulate real-life Army training exercises. Sounds not too dissimilar from P&P Marketing's popular Police Trainer series of arcade games, no?

The game is assumed to be built on the PC version of America's Army which also runs on the Unreal Engine. Global VR has a number of PC game products repurposed for arcade play, including Paradise Lost based on Far Cry, Desert Gunner based on the (awful) Beach Head series as well as EA Sports brand titles.
