Let's put a smile on that face by checking out Midway's latest batch of
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe screenshots, rife with cross-dimensional brawling and enough continuity issues to drive fanboys round the bend. While you enjoy the sight of The Joker blasting Scorpion right out of the Batcave or the Green Lantern putting the squeeze on Shang Tsung, we'll frantically attempt to figure out how Ed Boon managed to steal all our closeted fan fictions.
If these guys don't pummel your fancy, Midway has also informed us that series stalwarts Raiden and Kano will join the game's kombatants, along with the DC universe's Wonder Woman and Deathstoke.

Clearly, the Joker is having a wonderful time.
Mike @ Aug 20th 2008 4:17PM
I didn't know he was g@y.

Pencil trick or I'm not buying.
JK, but that would be awesome if they did include it.
Nick the Hero of Canton @ Aug 20th 2008 3:22PM
Agreed, except not just kidding.
emirabal @ Aug 20th 2008 3:28PM
OMG, how awesome would that be if that was in there
Mr.ESC @ Aug 20th 2008 4:25PM
The Joker inserting a pencil into Shang Tsu skull, now I would play that.

The joker is a great character, but I don't understand him in the context of a fighting game character. He's more of a mastermind, as opposed to a scrapper. He could never compete against, say, Batman in hand to hand combat, and thus had to rely on trickery and schemes to present a threat.
ComicShaman @ Aug 20th 2008 3:15PM
Yes, but if you start looking at it from that angle, the entire concept of the game is fundamentally flawed. The DC heroes are ridiculously overpowered next to the poor slobs from Mortal Kombat. I mean... Superman vs. Scorpion. Come on.
So yeah, why not throw in the Joker? Give him a lapel flower that sprays acid and a boxing glove that pops out of his shoe. What have you got to lose at this point? The premise of the game is already completely ludicrous anyway.

Nothing in this game makes sense.
FOXHOUND @ Aug 20th 2008 3:35PM
Of course, a 2'ft tall LEGO-resembling robot versus a baron of Hell seems like quite a miss-match too.
But MARVEL VS CAPCOM2 seemed to do okay. ;]
febow @ Aug 20th 2008 3:13PM
They seem rather slow in my opinion.
Boffo the Sock @ Aug 20th 2008 3:13PM
I keep looking, but I'm not seeing the Green Arrow in any of those shots.
Zertoss @ Aug 20th 2008 3:21PM
I think the sentence was supposed to read "... or her costume putting the squeeze on Wonder Woman".
Jack of No Trades 85 @ Aug 20th 2008 3:15PM
The characters have no expressions. If the characters appeared more "life-like" it would be better.
This game is on the edge of fail.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Aug 20th 2008 6:17PM
I have no idea how that has anything to do with the overall entertainment of the game.
saintrobyn @ Aug 20th 2008 3:19PM
That is the Green Lantern putting the squeeze on Shang Tsung.
kaneda @ Aug 20th 2008 3:22PM
Why is the joker prancing like a gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
xGeneral DEATHx @ Aug 20th 2008 3:41PM
Ace & Gary: What are you all staring at??
Everybody Else: NOTHING!
FrankDrebin @ Aug 20th 2008 3:56PM
No, no, of course not! People's personal sexual preferences are nobody's business but their own!
Batzarro @ Aug 20th 2008 9:48PM
Lipstick and Green Hair.
Nuff Said.
Not that I'd judge...
Immortal Technique PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Aug 20th 2008 3:29PM
This game looked bad from the start. The animations have no fluidity. Just looks liks pose to pose with herky jerky movements.
The concept works but the execution is sorely lacking.
Nightvortez @ Aug 20th 2008 3:38PM
This game needs Aquaman.
Erik Novak @ Aug 20th 2008 3:42PM
Judging from this pic, Joker has explosive gas.
Obie @ Aug 20th 2008 3:43PM
Wonder woman! She can tie me up with the lasso of truth anytime.......
;)
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Aug 20th 2008 6:18PM
Of course then she'd probably break your neck. cause she's cool like that.
Eric @ Aug 20th 2008 4:01PM
Hal Jordan!!!!! Yes!
loof @ Aug 20th 2008 4:03PM
I can't think of a game I'm less interested in that this one.
ComicShaman @ Aug 20th 2008 4:56PM
Perhaps the licensed adaptation of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2? I hear it's going to be a kart racer, if you can believe such a thing.
No wait. That was just a bad dream brought on by too much cough syrup.

I got the blues.
The Joystiq Double-post blues...

DNF?
D @ Aug 20th 2008 5:09PM

Luay @ Aug 20th 2008 8:18PM
