Midway announced today the latest instalment in its highly successful Mortal Kombat series, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
As the name implies, this latest entry in the popular brawler will include characters from the DC Comics universe, with Batman having already been confirmed via the teaser image below.

Further details are unknown at this point, although Kotaku is reporting that the game will apparently not contain any fatalities and have “little-to-no blood.”
Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

cool woulda liked marvel universe vs dc more though
I hope that game is the Wii version or an spin off.
I renember when they announced the countdown that the new universe will be made "a la Batman Begins" but I didn't expect that litterally :S
well that's an idea but i'm not sure about it being a good one, i'll just wait and see how tha gameplay comes along especially when there aren't any good fighting games on ps3 for the moment!
The fatalities defined the series so why take it out? there was nothing like ripping Johnny Cages spinal cord out with Sub Zero (I admit i am behind the times with the series).
Possible Batman fatality: Robin appears and bores the opponent till their inner ear implodes, scattering his brain everywhere. Class.
umm, the update says that its in 2D, so that's mean that its another game besides MK8. Renember that Boon said that MK8 uses the Unreal Engine.
So that's mean for sure that this game is for wii (or multiplataform) and the Mk8 its only PS3/360.
batman looks horrbie!!
Cannot be serious. I don't know what is going on. Why on earth does anyone think this is a good idea?
@Alakratt
Yeah I see what you mean... WTF is up with his chin? It looks like Jay Leno in a Batman costume...
"...the game will apparently not contain any fatalities, with “little-to-no blood.”
That right there will ensure I will not be getting it. Its just not MK without it. This sounds more like some kind of Wii POS for family and kids. No thanks, I think Ill pass.
"no fatalities, with “little-to-no blood.” WTF !! I already hate it.
and why does on the
image say "Koming soon" !? : )
Combination is weird. But hopefully the bring back the good style of MK3 and forget about the 3D worlds.
Fighting was so awesome in 2D :)
(OK.. maybe I need to go back to Pac-Man as well.. ) LOL
Mortal Kombat was al about the gore and fatalities without it it's no MK if you ask me and what's up with DC Comics they cool and all but i rather see new character than them i hoop they fix this or bring a real MK cus this is a shame to the serie
what bs is that. PSU has been TOLD that the game is in 2D, and it says its a rumour lol. also, they need to do another marvel Vs capcom game. now dat would be next gen gaming ;)
Why even bother? The biggest reason why most people enjoy the MK series are for the blood and fatalities. And WHY the DC universe, can't they pick a more something in their own league? Superman can easily own all, and i'm a huge MK fan. Perhaps IMAGE comics back in the days, y'know, with Spawn, Savage Dragon, Pit, etc. Just hope that Batman is just a guest character, seein as how he IS mortal... the game is called Mortal Kombat for a reason.
OK I admit it I'm a comic geek. Second of course to gaming, but really if they put Superman in it there is no way any one could beat him. Come on Sub-Zero VS. Superman.
No fatalities? Wack. DC just doesn't wanna see their characters get dismembered. That's probably why. Too weird.
DC? wat the heck? why are they ruining mortal kombat? FCUK this SHlT!!
No fatalaties?C'mon with these DC characters you could probably come up with a 100 different fatalities for each character!!
sounds real good, to bad i wont be able to do any fatalitites on superman.
you have got to be kidding me!! Mortal Kombat is one of my favorite franchises.....this will ruin it. Not happy at all!
they got to be kidding... I always like games like Mortal Kombat and my favorite Killer instinct... but this idea to put those 2 franchises together is bad, really bad its kinda like a joke... thats too bad i was hoping for a brand new Mortal kombat
no fatatlies that is like turning mortal kombat into something stupid and different what were they thinking !!!! and second who wouldn't love to kill batman or DC super heros or if the super heros did any cool deaths. but no fatalies wtf

WHAT! no fatalities or blood how sh1t this is a fighting game ya know!?
this would be crap.Ever since marvel vs.capcom 2 came out everyone was waiting for years for a marvel vs. capcom 3 but it never came...so if they was going to make a company vs. company game it would most likely be Marvel vs. DC. DC Rules Go!!!! Superman and Supergirl lol
This game sounds lame...I am disappointed in Midway.
I'm sorry, but this is completely retarded. Is Ed Boon going senile? Who thought this was a good idea? "Goro vs Superman"? Even worse, they are stripping out the fatalities? Who the he11 has been neutering Mortal Kombat these last few years?
Marvel vs DC would have been an awesome game. (Punisher vs Batman... drools)
if the no blood/fatality thing is true then this game is going to bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But i like the fact that they are going back to 2d, thats the only way i play MK, ever since it went 3d i stopped playing
no fatalities? little to no blood? WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY? i was just reading online about the history of violence in videogames, and violence sells. the sega genisis version of MK2 sold twice the number of copys than the snes version, dispite the genisis version having inferior graphics and sound. you know why? the genisis version had a code to turn on blood, while the snes version was without blood at all.
when are developers going to start treating videogames as an art instead of being submisive to Tipper Gore.
This is utter BS.....mortal kombat itself needs fixing before they can dream of mixing with other universe characters. I would much rather see a Marvel vs. DC fighter (MvC2 style) before hearing about some pile of sh!t they are announcing here. The people who make the final decission for MK must really be at the end of their ropes to let a hair brain numb nutz idea like this pass aproval.....heck I have a good one why not "Mortal Kombat vs. Bikini Bottom Universe"...cause right now anything seems like it could fly with Midway.
It sounded good until I read "no fatalities, little blood and 2D." That can't legally have MK in the title then.
The 1st trailer is over at www.gamesradar.com. It is in 3D, appears to have some blood (very little), not sure about Fatalities. Can you really see DC allowing Superman to have his head ripped off. Don't think so.
I really hope this is not the re-imagining that they've been talking about.
If Midway wish to make a DC beat-em-up, then fine. Just leave out the MK characters.
What's next...a PG version of GTA.
the game might be bad , ill give it a chance, u dont know till the game comes out if it sucks or if its a bad game
they... need to make a spin off of this in a movie. lmao. That would be awesome. Make it directed by Michael Bay =P
No fatalities or no blood..........this must be an exclusive for wii.
Alright this has gone against everything that MK has been known for
what the heck no fatalities i really would like to really destroy some of th dc heroes. I hope they add this because i they do i would buy this but if they do not i would push it to the side.
Like the rest... No fatalities or blood? C'mon, even the DC comics have some blood. Fatalities did make Mortal Kombat that much more satisfying, but some of those "alities" like babalities and animalties weren't as impacting.
"This week on Super Friends, Scorpion and Batman discover that Shao Kahn and the Legion of Doom are up to no good." Psssht...
Welcome to the first "Teen" rated Mortal Kombat...
Alas, Midway, you've killed your best franchise....
