The Catwoman model looks like the one from Hush. That's pretty cool.

Still never going to purchase this game. Superman would beat the hell out of everyone- except Batman. Batman would kick his ass... but why then wouldn't Batman kick everyone else's ass?! I need an adult!

Sorry I'm done.

Batman is grim and moody and lives in a cave, nerds are grim and moody and live in mom's basement, Batman automatically wins all fights.

I suppose that lightsabers in SC4 are more balanced than Superman, huh?

Don't discuss this kind of crap because it really makes you look like a nerd.Just play it.

PS:Saying that I have no intention of buying this game either, but I don't really like either franchise.

@Jakka:

1. Did I defend SC4?

2. "Don't discuss this kind of crap because it really makes you look like a nerd." said the guy who's commenting on a video game blog. Everyone who reads Joystiq regularly is a nerd.

Depends on what Era Superman. The original superman couldn't fly, didn't have ice-breath, X-Ray vision, and all that bull. He could jump really high, was really strong, he could run really fast, and couldn't be damaged by anything short of an artillery shell.

I think Cyrax had a fatality that blew up the planet. ... I think that is way past an artillery shell.

Conversely, modern superman is near indestructible, but now Kryptonite is as common as soda, and in as many varieties. I'm pretty sure there is a Paisley Kryptonite that will remove his cheapness.

@ Chris

You never mentioned SC4 but it was an example of the kind of crap that fighting games give you.

With out even watching the GTtv thing I am betting they are going to say Magic is why anybody in MK can even possibly attack superman. I am sorry but I think capcom did it better when they added infinite gems and such.

The problem with any DC fan is DC comic heroes their powers are basically god like. Even Batman to an extent is some sort of Demi god when it comes to his ability. No matter how I try to ignore the fact that is superman, I just can't get past somebody like the flash not being able to just speed of heat through somebody.

Yes I am a geek, but I doubt this game was being aimed at people who are new to Mk or DC, so just saying "Stop being a geek and play the game" isn't going to be enough for a lot of the people thinking about picking it up.

Also >_> ahem

Well well, the DOUCHES are out in droves this morning... great!

Superman is awesome. Batman is awesome. You don't wanna play / buy the game or better yet... UNDERSTAND why this is being made, go fumble around in another post that doesn't discuss this... ... douches.

The BIGGEST problem with past Mortal Kombats is the SHALLOW GAMEPLAY with focus on REMEMBERING TO PULL OF THE VARIOUS FINISHERS.

Hopefully this will be different because I WANT TO KICK EVERYONES ASS AS SUPERMAN... straight up.

Whine else where's douches and let us alone so WE can fight Scorpion vs. Superman... your doucheness isn't required HERE.

Thank you,
D

@D Dogg

We're having a discussion concerning this post. If anyone here is a douche it's the guy trying to start shit by elbowing his way into a conversation simply because he had his feelings hurt because he likes the game being discussed and the discussion is somewhat criticizing said game.

Grow up asshat.

Everything was great and you seemed very "responsible" and "intelligent" in your post... you know, regarding your discussion...

And then you called me an "asshat". Is this the point where I say "You fail"?

No matter what your response is or what I am, YOU'RE still a douche... nothing will change that. Once a douche, always a douche... is that vinegar I smell??

Is that why everyone else is voting me up, and you're being voted down?

You called me a douche because I had an opinion that you disagreed w/ and I was discussing that opinion w/ other people. You stepped in the conversation, waved your arms and said "Hey, stop arguing! DOUCHE DOUCHE DOUCHE! No one can make fun of this game because I want to play as Superman against Scorpion!" So I called you an asshat.

Now apparently I'm a douche for a new reason: because I called you out for being an asshat?

Again, grow up.

If this makes you all feel better I think all of you are jerks.

J/K.

Chris, are you aware you are trying to apply logic in the internet let alone to Superman? He gets his powers from the Earth's Sun WTF?

MK after Trilogy went downhill, and then Deception picked up the series to the semi-awesome level of the first MK games so Armageddon could deliver the final kick in the balls to every MK fan. At this point MK games are rental material but I’m still curious about how can Sub-zero deliver a punch to Superman without breaking his knuckles.

This game honestly couldn't look any worse. The screenshots look horrible, the characters are going to have to be way powered down which stinks, and when was the last time a decent Mortal Kombat game came out?! DC should pull the plug on this one and get back to the MMORPG.

I like how they released a screenshot with Supes' cape coming through his chest. Nice pop-in/tearing/whatever it's called. If that's in their promotional materials, this game might wind up looking terrible.

Looks like it's going through his chest to me. If you follow it up, it stops just below his sternum on his right side.

It exists because there are people that don't really give a hoot about franchises and fanaticism, and will buy this game just for the pleasure of beating the crap out of superman.

It's because no one had bothered to rip-off Marvel vs. Capcom yet - and everything Capcom makes must be poorly imitated as many times as possible.

And how is it a rip-off? Because it's a cross-over? Please. Do both games share similar premises. Yes. But is MK vs. DC a rip-off? Absolutely not. They're two completely different games.

I'm not as offended about the idea of this game as I used to be. Some of the mechanics they've been talking about sound pretty unique, I especially like the idea of it turning into something like Fight Night, when you get in close to your opponent, and some of the character designs are really cool. I'm hoping they stick with the classic, more recognisable MK characters, instead of all the garbage ones they introduced in the newer games.

Sang Tsung looks great, we just need Raiden, Kung Lao and Johnny Cage and the game should have a pretty great roster.

Haven't watched the GT preview yet though. Is the gameplay less clunky now? I hope to god they aren't still using dial-a-combo.

Looks very similar to the previous 3D games. Might be bad for a lot of people, but I had a lot of fun with Deception, and if it plays anything like that, I'll be satisfied.

I'm not expecting Soul Calibur or Tekken from Midway. No one should.

Heheh, you fellas are terrible! Give the game some time to prove itself.. it's not looking THAT bad.. just remember a game called Marvel Nemesis next time MK vs DC comes up and you'll appreciate it alot more.
I'm not being all defensive here, but while I'm at it; "Leave Batman Alooooone! He's just a superhero created by a heartless corporation, he can't help it.. Leave Batman Aloooooone, How dare you!"
