Wow, It was BOON that wanted the T rating. You think DC even gives a shit about this game? I normally post pretty calmly, but it's been show over and OVER DC is often times MORE violent than MK. And the violence is more disturbing, things like rape, Cannibalism, teenagers getting torn apart and eaten, and women getting stuffed in a refrigerator. It is aggravating to see people say these things and ignore everything anyone else ever posted.

I'm calmer now. Anyways I understand that Marvel is more Popular than DC now. Especially because of Marvels successful movies and DC's lack of movies. But I'm sure that close to Half of the people here who say Marvel is better knows almost nothing about DC. Still thats not as bad as when they saw Marvel is better than DC Marvel wouldn't have made a big deal about Blood and fatalities.

BTW, there IS blood and there will be fatalities...

I found my earlier post (I know there are typos you think i care?)
"I'd rather see Marvel Vs DC. I don't really get why people are worried about EITHER Marvel or DC being dark enough. I personally find the over the top violence of MK to be less dark and disturbing than the violence that appears in Comic Books. (At least DC I'm just going to Assume that Marvel at least matches it). One particularly disturbing scene is one infinity inc member slowly eating another member so he could transform into him and steal his girlfriend. Jason todd (robin was beaten to deatch with a crowbar, but i never read that). kyle rayner's girl friend was killed and STUFFED in a REFRIGERATOR, leading to the phrase "women in refrigerator syndrome" to describe the brutal treatment of women in comics

. Like the raped and murcer of Sue Dibney (elongated mans wife) or the death of the first girl robin. She was TORTURED to death by black mask. Drills, screw drivers. painful stuff. Also if you ever wanted to see the over the top violence (and less) you're more familiar with you only have to look at Lobo, Black Adam, or superboy prime(who I'm sure has performed way more fatalities than any MK character) and hes just a stupid kid. Don't forget giant crisis events or wars, you will find you share of mutilated bodies, in fact Ultraman punches through A btmans brain. OH yeah, you get to see powerboy impaled by a giant tree branch. jason Todd retaliates by ripping out superwomans Eyes. the Sinestro Corp war produced enough carcasses to flood Outworld. jason todd is an example of a non super powered person that produced a nice Body count. When trying to take over the Gotham drug trade, he rounds up the currents leaders and tosses them the heads of their lieutenants."

You do, indeed, speak the truth.

I think I have determined the source of the prejudice against DC: television. Most people don't read comics, yet many more people actually like super heroes. They like the television shows and the movie but not the comics. So what's the problem? Basically, most people only remember one DC television show from their youth: Superfriends. As a result of the children's cartoon, characters like Superman and Aquaman have forever been labled kiddy and childish because most people have never seen the more mature Superman stories.

How did Batman escape this trap? Well, we can thank Tim Burton for that. And after the Tim Burton films, we got a television show that most males in my generation remember fondly. Batman was reframed as "cool" by these creative endeavors, so he was no longer thought of as the campy Adam West character. No such shows or movie have existed for the other characters until recently, so most people still think of DC as childish.

All this said, I hardly understand why Superman is "childish" just because he respects a code of moral conduct. Frankly, the idea that mature content somehow equates to mature entertainment is a flawed belief anyway. How many people have read "Superman: For Tomorrow." In that storyline, Superman tackles some serious personal issues while the storyline examines the tragic nature of the human condition. The themes are for more sophisticated than the formulaic stop this threat to the universe storyline. That is my idea of mature.

Marvel is better than DC. not as redicilous. they dont need to superpower everyone like DC does. and as much as you try to prove it. DC is not as dark as MK. hahaha i can't belive your haveing this argument. i really dont give a sh*t about some girl in a freezer or whatever. MK is THE darkest around. DC doesn't compare

I wouldn't say better, but it would have also worked just as well. The problem I'd say is there are far too many more iconic Marvel characters, it'd be impossible to only pick like 12-20 of them, and that's just the heroes. I'm not saying DC is small, but we've all seen how many times people have just come out and yelled WHERE'S CAPTAIN AMERICA?!!!. It just seems like more people know Marvel then they know DC. Just for that reason there are a LOT more iconic characters there. I'm still waiting for a DC vs Marvel game, I wish DC had just done that, and let Midway keep their minds on the next serious MK.

I think they did this to bring MK and DC back to the masses in the hopes of increasing their fan bases and regaining lost popularity.

This is also true, and it may very well work. Many DC fans may play this game simply because they desire a DC game that is actually playable. Even if this ends up being a fairly mediocre game, it'll be better than most DC games...sadly.

DC violence is disturbing, MK violence is over-the-top and funny. Thats the difference. At least for me. Hey scrop, look through MK history for me and find something thats more violent than DC. I think it's odd how it seems like you think giving evidence is a bad thing.

You do, indeed, speak the truth.

I think I have determined the source of the prejudice against DC: television. Most people don't read comics, yet many more people actually like super heroes. They like the television shows and the movie but not the comics. So what's the problem? Basically, most people only remember one DC television show from their youth: Superfriends. As a result of the children's cartoon, characters like Superman and Aquaman have forever been labled kiddy and childish because most people have never seen the more mature Superman stories.

How did Batman escape this trap? Well, we can thank Tim Burton for that. And after the Tim Burton films, we got a television show that most males in my generation remember fondly. Batman was reframed as "cool" by these creative endeavors, so he was no longer thought of as the campy Adam West character. No such shows or movie have existed for the other characters until recently, so most people still think of DC as childish.

All this said, I hardly understand why Superman is "childish" just because he respects a code of moral conduct. Frankly, the idea that mature content somehow equates to mature entertainment is a flawed belief anyway. How many people have read "Superman: For Tomorrow." In that storyline, Superman tackles some serious personal issues while the storyline examines the tragic nature of the human condition. The themes are for more sophisticated than the formulaic stop this threat to the universe storyline. That is my idea of mature.[/quote]

I agree that it is probably from televisions. No one that actually reads DC comics can say things like that.

gritty, violent, whatever you wanna call it: it doesnt matter. they can make something non-violent, turn violent very easily.

what does matter, is the fact that Boon and crue are going for a more realistic game this iteration.

now, when you compare Marvel to DC, DC has much more characters that you would classify as either Natural or Magic (i'm using the City of Heroes classification: Natural, Magic, Science, Tech, Mutant), where most Marvel characters are either Science or Tech.

thats kind of why I like the DC guys more than marvel. yah, maybe Marvel guys like Ghost Rider or whatever his name is are more "badass", but their completly cheeseball and totally unbelivable, which to me counters any badass factor they might have.
