I like the Superman render.
Mortal Kombat vs the DC Universe

Why does everyone choose Rayner over Stewart? Jordan I can understand, truth be told Jordan is my favorite Green Lantern. I like Kyle Rayner as well but I like John Stewart and he's been a GL a lot longer than Rayner. For that matter how come no one ever chooses Alan Scott or Guy Gardner or the rest of the Green Lantern Corps?
As a huge fan of MK, im glad to see the franchise still alive and kickin.
Now with that said, im a bit iffy on this game. Visually, im sure it'll be awesome.
But with the lack of fatalities and an M-rating which means no excessive blood n guts, that takes away a lot of what MK is about and was built on. and with around 20 characters, that means only about 10ish Mortal Kombat characters will be in the game, which means possibly some favorites will be left out.
I blame DC, jk.
But hopefully it lives up to its look, and will be another good installment in the MK world.
We'll see..........

Guy Gardner blows lol. I had almost all his spin-off comic run. I just enjoy Kyle's issues alot more it seems. As far as Hal goes I like his personality more than a Stewart. Oh my how i loved the Hal Jordan Rebirth run. Sorry Im a geek.

first off, thanks for the notification. i heard there was another MK game in the making and ive been a loyal fan since the first one. its a great fucking series.
unfortunately, im extremely disappointed in what i saw. dc? are you fuckign serious!? that makes no sense. this match up is so random. MK vs my little pony would have made more sense.
my question is will it be made on the wii? and even if it does come to the wii, i will have to really be impressed wit new footage or something before even considering it. what was ed boon thinking?
ill look into it a little and try to find out where this came from, ive always been a huge fan, but this is seriously pushing the limits.

Well, some new info has been given if you go to Gamespot. They have an interview up there that explains a little bit more about their reasons for going for this crossover. In the interview he confirms that fatalities WILL be in the game, but for all the MK characters and DC villains only. The DC heroes will have non-lethal "finishing moves" or brutalities. He also mentions that no one has been able to guess the character roster correctly, but the ones that thought of parallels between the MK and DC characters were the ones who came the closest.
Another article I read mentions that an interview with someone from Midway revealed that he's 100% certain Shao Kahn and Darkseid are in the game (and when you think about it they're parallel to each other).

As for Midway's decision to do this crossover, in my opinion while I'm skeptical about it in some ways, it could be an great side franchise for both MK and DC. DC has had horrible luck in the videogame industry as none of their games have even cracked the top ten lists out there, and MK has needed something to spark up the series. Capcom and Marvel had a great alliance for awhile, and the games were awesome. And when you think about it, the lessened gore is a good step toward focusing on better gameplay rather than blood and effects.
Look at MK: Shaolin Monks for instance, yes it wasn't a dead on fighter, more of an action adventure game......but because Midway's main focus was finally on the gameplay, they managed to make a great game with blood and fatalities. Now I imagine they're at least trying to make the gameplay fairly great to make up for the less brutal fatalities, which thankfully will still be in to appease the fans. So I expect this to be a sleeper hit, and will make the hype for MK8 that much greater.

I was going to buy the game anyway but the fatalities definitely make it more interesting.
Catwoman is apparently confirmed. Somebody put up an image of her, but Midway asked him to take it down
Found it, here's the Catwoman render

She looks good. I'm getting excited about this game with each new info.
I will give it a shot. I just hope they have Cassandra Cain(Batgirl)
Well, the official podcast is up on worldscollide.com, and it confirms Shang Tsung as a character in the game. This Saturday Spike TV has an exclusive look at the game, which will reveal two more villains for the game....it's also going to be on gametrailers.com if you miss it. And finally IGN and Midway will be teaming up in a couple of weeks to reveal characters through "what if?" battles, and the first is Sub-Zero vs Batman

wtf! thats a terrible render! what catwoman were they even looking at?
I believe that is the current Catwoman costume in the comics. The last time I saw her was in the Batman: Hush storyline where she wore a similar costume. I also happen to think it's a pretty good render.

Also Liu Kang and Captain Marvel (you know, SHAZAM!) have been confirmed. Since E3 is going to be this week we'll get another 2, hopefully one being the Joker since it is The Dark Knight's debut also
So right now the confirmed characters in total are: Superman, Batman, Flash, Catwoman, Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sonya, Liu Kang, and Captain Marvel
