MKO: Next Mortal Kombat pits MK against DC
Normally we'd be skeptical without a press release from Midway in our inbox, but MKO also nabbed the above image which we have to admit looks pretty darn authentic. Hopefully we'll get some more details later in the day about character rosters, but for now, you may be permitted to rabidly fantasize: What's your dream crossover battle?

It's CONFIRMED that this is probably the worst crossover in history and will continue the trend of shitty DC based games.
As much as I love the DC universe...bringing it down to the Mortal Kombat level is ghetto.
The MK series started sliding after MK2, and never really recovered. The bright and poppy colors they had in MK2 were lost to a dark and crappy looking MK3. Then the 3D stuff just took it more of course.
Just sayin'.
LOLZ...freaking genius....
Pirates vs Ninja (the plural *is* ninja, damnit)
n00bz vs l33tz
LoLcats vs LoLdogs
somethingawful vs 4chan
PS3 vs Wii vs X360: Profit Wars
Burger King vs Ronald McDonald

Game makers should take note; just because Disney and Final Fantasy crossed successfully, that does not mean that every crossover is a good idea.
Although I am looking forward to Resident Evil vs. Hanna-Barbera

Hopefully, they'll make the game 2D. If it's 3D, I won't be as excited. In fact, I'd be quite sad.

Interesting crossover, but kinda late to the party with Xmen V SF being out over a decade ago.

That said, I could do without that away/towards dimension in future Mortal Kombat games, too.

You play everyone else.

I cannot think of anything kind to say about this. It doesn't make any sense at all. It defies all logic and good reason.

I thought it already had, but let me be the first to say:
Mortal Kombat has jumped the shark.

Me & my friends have had this discussion many a time.
Iron Man's suit is stocked with all types of shit that he plans ahead for.
The word superhero inherently means that they have super powers.
Ok, I'll tuck my nerd back in now...lol.
especially, particularly
hero: noun
a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities
Hey, thanks Oxford American Dictionary! Sexist part "typically a man" aside, seems like the roots of superhero can be applied to those without powers. And even if you want to claim that when you combine it into one word as "superhero" it does imply powers, the fact that Marvel and DC have trademarked the term "superhero" means they can use it on anyone they want at any time, including their very popular franchises Batman, Iron Man, hell, even Robin.
I've just confused myself.
As for the "what is a superhero" debate, I'd say a superhero is someone who devotes their life to being a hero (thus including Batman and Iron Man). And any numbnuts that reads modern comics knows that Iron Man does has super powers, so stfu.

PS: That's a badass picture for the article.

Hopefully it's not getting to that point again. Back in the 8-bit/16-bit era, most box art was better than the actual game.
I just hope Nightwing is a playable character.
Also:
That said, Batman > All.
