This actually looks pretty cool. Superman booting Flash into space was pretty awesome.
Boon confirmed different costumes in the interview.
here's hoping the alternate costumes aren't dlc
compared to MKvsDC's design of batman this version looks more like a cross between the new 52 design and the nolan movies. especially that cowl
I don't understand these types of games. I guess they're fan service, but how do fans put up with anyone not named Superman hitting Flash? Or Superman being hurt by a punch from Batman?
I could really get behind a game where DC heroes and villains beat each other up - I just haven't seen a way that's appealing to me.

Boon has said in the past that they have many things they're working on, so hopefully another team is making a new Shaolin Monks title. It will be really sad if this game is all they focus on for this year and the next.

I wouldn't mind if this game played almost exactly like MK9.
If Mortal Kombat can be an actual competent fighter then this game can be, too.
Also it's cool that it comes to Wii U as well, so we already have a fighting game for it.
Here's hope for Wii U arcade sticks.

Looks great to me. It's probably going to be an evolution of MK9's gameplay and style. It's almost funny Netherrealm is still getting shit. Are people that salty about MK9's success?
As for "epic story" it probably will have one. People forget MK9's story mode already? Kind of the best story mode with best cut scenes anyone has made for a fighting game so far?
The costume designs make this look like an original Netherrealm adaptation of DC universe, in the same way Rocksteady's Batman games greatly redesign the characters looks to fit into a specific setting.
MK9 is awesome, still play it regularly today. And after its success WB surely will cut Netherrealm as big a check they need to make this lavish.
Bring it.
It seriously looks like the characters are wearing body armor and technology to account for the battle's circumstances.
AKA the Flash has armor to provide extra physical protection from super human brawlers, and Batman may as well be wearing a power armor suit to take on the metahumans. It's not like this is weird either. It's been used in comics all the time, including Batman specifically having power armor suits for slugfests with super powered people.

I don't get the negative impressions, that looks awesome. It's seems to be a more action focused fighting game, kinda like DBZ. I think it's a good idea they spun these mechanics into a different series instead of putting it in MK. It will help set this apart instead of just being MK2 with DC skins.
I actually like the character designs as well.

Probably because it's a videogame and that kind of stuff isn't as important as it being, I don't know, fun?
For me, I don't like the way everybody in MK share animations. That's fine, because that's how it's always been in MK, and that's the game's style. I don't really care about it, so it is what it is.
However, I fucking LOVE DC, and I think it looks ridiculously stupid when somebody fast like Flash and somebody big like Solomon Grundy look like they fight the same outside of special moves.
That being said, I'm happy fans of MK finally have a good game. I'm always looking for new fighters, so I hoped they would take this opportunity to try something new with the DC heroes, but alas.
Works for me. I like DC but don't like MK at all, so I skipped MK vs DC. Might buy this one though.
Gameplay concept looks pretty good, but the gameplay itself looks like it could go either way. Here's hoping it turns out good.
So many fighting games to look forward to. Feels good.

I REALLY doubt this was Boon's choice. Warner Bros has been forcing all their studios to work on comic/movie licensed crap for the last year or so.

Guys getting thrown through walls, superpowers... OK, I'm on board.
Also Batman looks fine, his armour is kinda necessary.

I get that it's fine the studio gets to show its own vision of DC characters.
But this, + the New 52, + movies, + cartoons etc... each have their own "versions" of characters and places and relationships.
I'd rather have a tighter ensemble under the New 52 umbrella.
DC has writers, some talented, who can come up with "good" reasons for a fighting game.

Luckily, so do NetherRealm!

I dunno, this looks pretty neat. Wonder Woman used a car to smash someone. Cool!
Those instances you mentioned are done by different teams. NRS doesn't really have that luxury.

I was hoping that NR would get with Rare and reboot Killer Instinct. I guess those DC fans will get on board. I'm sure Boon will load it with content. I will have to pass on this one. The only way I will buy it is if it comes with 40 characters.
Wonder Woman looks pretty good.
Harley Quinn looks passable, but not great.
The others look pretty hideous.
Non-DLC classic costumes please.

So MK9 with DC fighters instead and improvements? I'm so in.

This will probably sell a lot based on the license...I don't really expect it to be any good, though. Should've made Shaolin Monks 2, goddammit.

If Shaolin Monks 2 is a next-gen game, Boon is redeemed.

Harley Quinn in a fighting game...
I wish she would've made it into MK v DCU as the DLC that they wanted to do but this is better than that.
Just don't make a shitty collectors edition OK!!!

If they have a similar quality to the single player experience as MK9 I'm in.
MK9 is the only fighting game this gen where I didn't feel like an idiot for playing solo.
Heard Blazblu had good single player modes but the anime voices and all that comes with it in the nonsensical cutscenes was too much for me to deal with.

Not feeling the premise behind it. At least it's gonna have more content for your buck than other games. :/ MK9 did good on my book so I'll pick this one up, though.
SO MANY FIGHTAN GAEMS

But seriously, where the hell is Shaolin Monks 2, WB? I know Boon wants to make it, but he prolly can't.

I like the last Mortal Kombat, I like DC characters, I want this
Agreed on this. I stand by the belief that Netherrealm probably is fully capable of making a great fighting game in their own right. It's just that making a new MK game first meant that certain expectations had to be met. Including the "MK style" of animating. :lol
So, by all means, I'm hoping this is something special. I just really hope that, unlike with MKvDC, the DC characters actually do more to fight like themselves, instead of using "abridged" version of fighting styles from MK characters. I don't need Flash to basically play like Kabal, thank you very much!

That I could get behind.
Edited for truth!
Sorry, didn't see that (or this interview) in the OP.
