Mortal Kombat 8 is Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

97
Today, Midway Games confirmed what had been rumored for a while: the first next-generation Mortal Kombat title, up until now called "Mortal Kombat 8" by the community, is officially titled Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. As the title suggests, it will be a crossover with the characters and setting of DC Comics. Further information about the game should be forthcoming.

1 - Is it to late for and April Fools Joke?
Really, is it?

I have a hard time thinking that whom ever came up with this idea was not on drugs.

Superman vs Lu Kang. 1 punch... Superman wins.

Sonarous are you serios?

Mortal Kombat as we all know has just DIED. The only game it should of cross-overed with was Street Fighter.

Wow. I think I am going to go jump off a bridge.

EDIT: STORY has got to be Fake. Why would a "Warner Brothers" (WB under batman) logo be under Bat-man? They own only the rights to the movie, DC comics owns all right rights. So I am going to have to say "FAKE". This story did look real, I know I fell for it at first.

EDIT2: http://worldscollide.com/ (The url in the Pic) is not a real site as of now. Midway would of already had a teaser site ready as well by now like noob.com I guess we will know tomorrow.

Edit 3: If true, Midway just performed a fatality on itself. Please EA buy Midway, they suck as it is. I am sure EA and Midway would be perfect bed fellows since failure knows them both all too well.

Edit 4: Everyone be prepared for the biggest online petition to ever be created.

1.3 - agree with omegasyde
man if it was crossed over with street fighter that wouldve been great imagine shang tsung vs. ryu or even reptile vs. blanka that wouldve been a great idea especially since MK and SF started out at basically the same time period...but DC???? superman with fatalities???? idk if this is a great idea

1.4 - O yea the game probally won't include blood and be PG-13 rated.
"Real" ,"Great" work Ed Boon, you $^$#^#$^# sellout. Why don't you go make a fighting game with Disney Characters while your at it.

Or better yet just send every Mortal Kombat Fan a letter in the mail with your feces in it.

Because basically your telling all your fans to:

EAT Sh*#

Now introducing Nudetalities:

Dorks unite, we finally get to see wonder women's b**bs.

and Arrestalities:

Finish Him!
(Batman takes out his "batt cuffs" and handcuffs Scorpion)
*Police Arrive*

Arrestedality!
Batman wins.

Plus 3 new fighting styles:
Judo, Tai-Chi, and Kryptonite Weapons stance

Edit:
ok sonarus ,

Please EXPLAIN how do you do a fatality on Superman or better yet how do you uppercut the Flash?

And Wonder Women, Batman, and Superman "RARELY" KILL. Will the DC side of the house only have villians then? Because honestly I couldn't think of too many DC villians who are actually worthy of putting into a videogame.

Dc comics Fails, Ed Boon Fails, Midway Fails, EA scoops up the pieces.

I've wanted an MK vs. SF for years and years, and I'd still absolutely love it.

This sounds... terrible. I hope it's some kind of joke. Even though I haven't really liked an MK game since it made the change to 3D, the series always has a place in my heart, since it was there at the dawn of my gaming career when I hung out at arcades.

This series needs to go back to 2D (like SFIV; 3D design, 2D gameplay), bring back Animalities, Babalities, Friendships, Brutalities, the entire cast to ever be featured in an MK game, and of course the original style Fatalities that made me love this game to begin with.

Unfortunately, I don't believe in miracles...

Agreed. This game will bomb (No real MK fan will be a down-graded teen MK) and EA will devour Midway.

Still, I pray that this is a joke. The site mentioned in the poster is fake and so all of this could be too.

5.1 - What info has been reveled?
Sorry to be so uninformed on this game but the only things I’ve seen are the crossword puzzle and the blurry picture of what looks like scorpion, these don’t mean anything to me but I am not good with clues.

And look at the bright side if this is real then performing fatalities on any DC character is going to be hilarious (or it could be vary strange).

Apparently everyone though the same thing.
When I read this, I checked what day it was to see if it was April 1st.

OMG!!!! Now to think of how many characters i want for this game.
At least 80 characters, plz!!!! (MK: 30, DC: 50, that my ratio)

Either way, it will probably suck, but one can dream.

"Why would a "Warner Brothers" (WB under batman) logo be under Bat-man? They own only the rights to the movie, DC comics owns all right right"

Duh because DC is owned by WB ...

I feel that whatever universe would get crossovered with MK is shaming itself , so while i got no major love for the DCU , with it still being a cohesive and somewhat sometimes interesting universe , its quite silly to pair it with such a wreck as MK.

THe marvel vs dc war got even better lol ....
Marvel fans still had those wonderful capcom games , and dc will get.... mortal kombat ...
Thanks god lego batman is on the way

I dunna the writing on the bottom of the picture says "midway amusement games" and according to wikipedia "This was the original arcade division of the company (founded as Midway Manufacturing Company), and is now an honorary entity which maintains Midway's former arcade games" so um why would they develop a game when the ACTUAL Midway studios is across the street? Who knows... :'(

My rage is enormous right now lol, Boon (FUC* YOU!) and Midway (MF'ers!!) you are fuc*ing sellouts! Ya, you heard me S-E-L-L-O-U-T-S!! We wanted Mortal Kombat, REAL mortal kombat, like when we were kids when we stayed up all night hopped up on coca-cola and cheetos trying to accomplish all the fatalitites, babalities, anamalities and yes even friendships that we could muster before our moms woke up to yell at us and our friends. You fuc*ing suck, god damn, DC? Whoever thinks this idea is a good one, is a moron. DC, I repeat, DC DOESN'T KILL!!!!! Are you serious, I can see it now...all over the news "Oh how Fuc*ing terrible, Batman doesn't kill blah blah blah wah wah wah" Terrible this idea is fuc*ing terrible, I need sleep, I swear to god this better be a joke or a bad dream. I'm Out.

edit:: lol I'm relaxed, this is just so dumb because DC can't kill, MK is KILLING, awesome gory killing, lol and I played SF too, since super nintendo.
