The Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe DLC That Could've Been
Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe's roster of "kombatants" was missing some key names on both sides. That was something series co-creator Ed Boon and the MK team had hoped to address with downloadable content, which never happened. More »

American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Recommends MK vs. DC For Families
Some of our more jaded readers may poo-poo Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe's softer, more broad reaching one-on-one violence, but there's one organization who has no qualms with the T-rated brawler. That would be the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry which has reviewed the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game, finding that it "will likely facilitate an adult joining a teenager in video game play." Not a sexy box quote by any means, but maybe better than we were expecting. More »

Frankenreview: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
They said it couldn't be done. Actually what they really said was it shouldn't be done, followed by several what the hell were they thinkings, but Midway went and did it anyway. Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe is a concept that frightened and confused quite a few people in the gaming community, but as new footage and details trickled out the concept slowly began to grow on us. Soon we found ourselves looking forward to beating up Sonya Blade with Wonder Woman, or Batman with Scorpion. It might not be so bad, right? More »

The North American T-rated version of MK vs. DCU has been toned down to remove on-screen bullets to the head, but the region-free PlayStation 3 version keeps the more mature fatalities in tact.

Midway Loses $76 Million, Hopes For Great MK vs. DCU Success
Chicago-based developer Midway announced its third quarter earnings today, pulling in $51.4 million in revenue. That's better than the $36.7 million it did the year prior and thankfully in line with expectations. The bad news — oh, there's bad news, naturally — is that Midway took a loss of $75.9 million, with losses planned to continue for the year. That's worse than the quarter before and the year prior, for those who like to keep track of such things. More »

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - Super Moves And Pro Moves
Senior Designers John Edwards and Paulo Garcia take us through the difference between super moves and pro moves in the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The game will feature all of the normal spear throwing, fireball hurling super moves you've come to know from Mortal Kombat as well as some new ones for the DC Universe characters. To top it all off, you'll have pro moves that will extend your super moves and cause controller throwing frustration for your novice opponent.

Midway To Focus On Licenses That Make Money
In what I consider to be a very wise business move, Midway has decided to narrow their focus on licensed games to those that perform well. While no specifics were mentioned, the company announced that they've amicably resolved various underperforming licensed properties in order to focus on more lucrative properties such as DC Comics and TNA Wrestling.

Midway has unvieled the official box art for their upcoming crossover fighter Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, and while previews of the game and footage I've seen seem to indicate it will be a solid fighter, I still can't help but laugh when I see Scorpion facing off against Batman holding a kunai. Along with the box art comes a few new screenshots that aren't nearly as laughable, giving us a look at Baraka, Raiden, and Captain Marvel himself, SHAZAM! *gets hit by lightning bolt, dies*

Midway Confirms MK vs. DCU Cast Leak
In case there was any doubt that the full Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe roster revealed earlier today was in error, case those doubts aside. Midway has confirmed that Shao Kahn, Darkseid, Baraka and Lex Luthor will be rounding out the 22-character strong cast of the fighter, probably ahead of the publisher's planned schedule. With just two months to go before MK vs. DCU is released, will they find another way to respark our interest in the game? Surely they've got one or two hidden characters squirreled away in all that code.

On the DC side, Wonder Woman will clash with Deathstroke (aka Deathstroke the Terminator), who joins the short list of known DC Universe bad guys. More »

More MK vs DC Impressions, Any Left Over Crow?
I know I wasn’t the only person shaking my head in disbelief after seeing the initial teaser trailer for Mortal Kombat vs. D.C. Universe a few months back. “What are they doing to this franchise? This must be a joke!” I said to myself. So I was surprised – and relieved – after all the positive impressions the game received coming out of E3. But how does it play? Midway dropped by to show off their upcoming titles this morning, and I got a chance to get a couple matches in. More »

Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe Impressions Of Crow Eating
Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe is the musical equivalent of the MK team's Kid A, says associate producer Hector Sanchez. For those unfamiliar with that Radiohead reference, maybe MK vs. DCU being the video game equivalent of a post-make up KISS will make more sense. Regardless of the rock allusion, Sanchez essentially told me at E3 that after seven slogs through the MK universe, expanding and retreading, rinsing and repeating, it was time for a change — a big change.

Boon described Mortal Kombat 8 at the time as "very dark, serious" and "gritty" take on the series, a back to basics reboot that was free of "vibrant, saturated colors." It was said to be heavily inspired by the look of Gears of War. More »

Total Mortal Kombat says it got its hands on a Catwoman render for the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe title.

Holy MK vs. DC Bat-Art, Batman!
We've known that the Dark Knight would feature in Midway's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe since day one, but we hadn't seen much of him beyond his scowl and cowl. We've already gotten a taste of how Superman looks, but now we know what the fighting game version of Batman will look from head to toe, as official rendered artwork of the caped crusader has been released. He looks... well, he looks like Batman. We're neither disappointed nor overly ecstatic about his appearance, but that general ennui is in line with our Mortal Kombat interest over the past decade.

We've already had a peek at Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe's versions of Sub-Zero, Batman and Scorpion, but today we get our first shot of Superman in his latest video game incarnation, set against a ruined Metropolis. Kal-El may look a bit out of place against the devastation, but this is a game built on the foundation of things not making any sense. The official site has a batch of new artwork, including Superman and Scorpion in super high resolution, plus a look at a hellish stage. It's notable for having a giant flaming skull with a smaller flaming skull attached to it. That's metal. More » -

Mortal Kombat Team "Modifying" Fatalities For DC Crossover
When Midway announced at their recent Gamers Day event in Las Vegas that the Mortal Kombat franchise was going to get a boost from the superheros and superheroines of the DC universe, it made us wonder, "Why?!?" It also made us wonder, "Hey, what about those signature fatalities? Surely, Kano can't rip out the heart of Blue Beetle and get away with that." Given that Ed Boon says the game is locked in at a T-rating, that particular fatality is probably out. And Superman may be a dick, but he's not a murderer. More »
