Siliconera brings word from San Diego Comic-Con that more karacters have been added to the roster of Midway's crossover fighter, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Specifically, the site confirms Jax and Kitana from the MK games are set to appear, along with DC Comics characters Green Lantern and the clown prince of crime himself, Joker. The site speculates that, since villains in MK vs. DC will be able to perform fatalities, Joker could conceivably kill Superman. We're not sure how happy DC would be about that, so don't get too excited.

Not to nitpick or anything but the headline gets the title of the game right, yet in the story it is referred to as "Mortal Kombat vs. DS Universe" (2nd link in the story). Also what is the big deal with the Joker killing Superman? Wouldn't DC be more upset if the Joker was killing batman?
Or is it because Superman isn't supposed to die? Maybe killing Superman in the game will make you have to wait through a bunch of dead end plot turns and "new supermans" before you can play as him again.

As long as Mario gets his head ripped off, I'm good.

But of course.
But why single out Mario? Why you hate, Giggling Bull's Eye?

Because I'm a Luigi fan and Mario has stolen the green jumpman's thunder for far too long.

They should be fine with it, they just need to separate this as different universe so that it's acceptable IMO.

They're using the Jim Lee design I believe.

I'd love to see superman die. He's the worst superhero ever.
And Joker is fucking awesome. His fatality should be frying his enemy with a handshake like in the first batman movie.

So you are a fan of Aquaman?
He is not a bad character but it's villians suck ass except for the New Genesis Gods and Dark Seid.

Superman is worse than Aquaman by a mile, ESC, by merit of not having every power ever.
Also: Aquaman can disintegrate a man just by touching him. Well, he could in one series...

I should say he's the worst of the popular superheros... Aquaman was no more than an interpreter for marine life.
Superman villains were way cooler then superman ever could be.

That is "by merit of Aquaman not having every power ever."
Also: Aquaman has enhanced strength and resistance to injury (due to his ability to survive in the deep depths of the ocean, unaffected by immense water pressure)

Superman character is from the 1930's, and yes he is not quite as developed as some of the great current ones. But gimme a break, at least his powers does not involve shrimp telepathy and killing people in accidental tsunamis:

He sucks because he was incredibly exaggerated over the years, when the comic started he could jump a building but not fly, He could run faster than a bullet but he ain't Flash and he was stronger than a locomotive but not Stronger than Hulk (I’m aware Hulk is from Marvel but I‘m referring to the crossover) and the Villains sucked ass like the Toy maker, what the f*ck the Toy maker? The Villain of Super man was the Toy maker? Just ridiculous.
The only memorable villains are Dark Seid and the New Gods If you want Lobo (Lobo is awesome tho’ )
There are some good stories like Red Son from Krypton that are actually worth reading but you could easily skip most issues.

Eh for the most part when it comes to comics, I'd just rather read Marvel.
They're just so much better at story and characters.
Okay, they're just better at everything. (although DC does have Batman, the Green Lantern, and Watchmen)

More or less, Superman is the Mario of the comics universe, by which he is both a dinosaur of the modern era, and an immutable symbol of comic superherodom.
But they've done some very good arcs with him. The only one i recall as being especially poor was when they tried to retcon him as a guy with electromagnetic powers and that blue/white look back in the 90s

O Rly? Have you read Spiderman: One more day? it was a slap in the face and the way they ruined Marvel Zombies is unforgivable.
What I don’t like about Marvel is that they abuse of the Reset Button.

Dude his fatality should be cutting a smile into their face! Or the now infamous "disappearing pencil trick".
Yeah I'm just really hopped up on TDKsauce right now. Best comic book movie ever. It finally pays to be a Batman fanboy (aside from the excellent comics of course).
It has now become an instant rent for me, when before I wasn't even interested in the game.

what you mean you liked the shitty acting that seemed to spawn from Rachel
the fact that she looked like someone you wouldnt put out if she was on fire
the fact that alfred joked about everything and they spent 2 hours building up 2face to have him get subdued after falling 2 storys, the mob boss put up more of a fight
