This has to be the most ridiculous news I’ve ever reported.
For some time now rumors have been popping up online about the next Mortal Kombat installment, tentatively titled Mortal Kombat 8. Most people don’t care, because there hasn’t been a good Kombat installment in 15 years (I’ll give you that the last one was fun for a day or two)… but it is interesting to think about what they could do with it on the new consoles.
This might just be it.
Yes, according to fansite ‘Mortal Kombat Online‘, this is the first promotional picture of the new game, Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, which was sent to them by Midway. And it will indeed be a crossover the likes of which you’ve never seen…. or at least since Marvel Vs. Capcom.
Blow your mind yet? Now try and figure out how they’re going to get two series that haven’t had good games in them in a LONG time to work well together.
Course, this is all just rumor, especially seeing as the website in the picture doesn’t even work. But we’ll see what comes of it… could this be what it takes to finally get people excited about the Mortal Kombat series again? Batman disemboweling Raiden? Superman punching Reptile in the nuts? The Teen Titans’ Animalities?
Ugh…

I will shit in pants if it's true. Your pants!
This is utter bullshit. Doubt that this is real. Wishful thinking on someone's part.
could be real. gamespot is reporting that midway is holding a press conference for the new mk. i do remember them saying that they would use all new characters this time around, which this story seems to contadict, but then again, publishers speak too soon most of the time.
Yeah, actually Russ might have more to say about this soon… It's still one of the most bizarre things ever, though.
http://kotaku.com/381302/mk-v-dc-has-little-blood-no-fatalities Kotaku is saying that this game will have no fatalities. Sooo… Complete waste of a license! Disappointing.
Man this would be awesome if Mortal Kombat wasn't horrible to play. Seriously I loaded the Genesis version onto my psp and then wept because it was so damn bad.
10 bucks Batman has a gimpy move where he throws a batarang and pulls the guy to him for a punch. 10 BUCKS.
I think I'll just keep playing Marvel vs. Capcom until this materialises and isn't utter whale spunk. If Alex and the MCP crew give it the good, then I'll pick it up.
jack rabbit, really? I like alex's reviews but seriously there are much better websites to go to for in-depth game reviews. And this news is hilarious. I'd pay good money to control johnny cage in practise mode and punch superman in the balls over and over. Hopefully they'll have a christopher reeves skin for supes with dialogue like "Owww, now I can't walk" for every ballpunch delivered.
"…two series that haven't had good games in them in a LONG time…"
I enjoyed Batman Forever for the SNES…
It's real, Midway confirmed.
It's real. Here's a video
