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.
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.
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.
