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.

You know, I did have a really long 3 paragraph explanation of why The Dark Knight was one of the best movies ever, but I realized that no matter what I said, that you'd still think it sucked. So, I'll just leave it alone and let you go on with being unappreciative of incredible films.

LOL 300 fans. No arguing with them. I could make so many arguments as to how bad that film is.
P.S. The Dark Knight destroys 300 and V for Vendetta. Too bad you won't be able to appreciate the movie though.

Is no one else excited about the green lantern? I've been hoping for it, but now I'm wondering how the hell they'll pull it off.

Joker looks delicious. However, Jax is a waste of space. Sure, he had a decent haymaker combo in Mortal Kombat 3, but there are so many different characters I would have preferred.
Oh, and Hal! Yes! Wee!

No Jason Todd to be Jokers vistom, no reason for me to care about this game still.

So which GL is it? I'm assuming it's Hal but holding out hope that it ends up as Guy.
And Joker's fatality should be beating you with a crowbar.

I'm thinking Hal also? Though it is possible they'll use Smith just to have a black character on the DC side.
I doubt we'll be seeing Kyle though.

As long as the Joker has a "crazy nurse" alternate costume, that's cool

"Hey look guys, The Dark Knight was a box office success! Lets cash in on this!"
This move is going to milk:
# Heath Ledger
# His Death
# Current Dark knight movie
# Its Success.

At the very least, I'm glad they're sticking to the classic MK characters. We only need Johnny Cage, Raiden and Kung Lao now, and we're set.
A couple of the newer guys added in the later games were pretty decent, but the vast majority of them were just awful.

Superman is awesome - just needs the right villans for a great story (like any hero), it's just hard because he's basically invincible. He's iconic - even Batman looks up to him in most continuity. Seeing him get wrecked in a MK game? Meh, kinda stupid.
They should put in Darkseid, Zod, Doomsday, and Brainiac.

These typos must be a result of the budget cuts.
Anyone who doesn't care for Superman (like me) should read Grant Morrison's All-Star series.
