Problem with this is that it would be confined to the Xbox360 since Microsoft owns Rare.

What was Midway smoking when they thought long time fans of the series would go for this?
Dark, Gritty, MK??? B.S. !!!
Fatalities??? I doubt there will be any!!!
Blood??? Don't count on it!
All new characters??? B.S. they just added other franchise's characters.
MK:DA...1 fatality per character...
MK:D was good
MK:A...Kreate a fatality, broken KAK moves, tonnes of glitches, No Storyline.
I think MK is going downhill and soon it will be off a cliff.
This reminds me, Ed Boon said they would make up for the bios with MK8. How the H*LL do they call this making up for it? If this game flops, it probably will be Armageddon for the series. The unreal engine suits this game because the concept is unreal. If there are no fatalities, I will not buy this game.
Reinventing MK? Nah, they just copied other companies ideas. I guess they were going with the "flavor of the month" so to speak. So much for original ideas.
MK VS DC is a surprise, but not a pleasant one. For the last 3 MKs, I pre-paid several months ahead of time and picked up my copy on day one. I know every bit of information there is to know on MK, for example, Quan Chi's favorite food being raw clams and Goro having seven wives. I WAS thee most devoted fan and now I'm simply disillusioned.
I will take a look at the previews in the coming months, so I will not stop with MK just yet, however if this game is rated TEEN and is as toned down as I expect, not only will I say goodbye to MK, I will say goodbye to any other Midway product.
I considered myself the BIGGEST MK fan ever, now I don't really care anymore. This idea...this concept...it seems like it blew out their a$$.
Midway, Ed Boon, you are losing a lot of fans today. I'm starting to wish the april fools joke of Ed Boon quitting wasn't a joke at all. Ever since John Tobias left, it seems that MK has lost it's touch.
I want to finish my post with a quote from Dan Forden from the "History of Fatalities" video on MKA premium's second disc:
"Fatalities have become so much a part of the series, that you cannot conceivable put out a mortal kombat game without them".
Don't make Dan Forden a liar. Don't let your fans down like you did with the horribly broken MK:A and it's lack of story.
If anyone hates this concept and leaves Midway, or just the MK series, I support you, however, I'm sticking around for now to see how this turns over the next little while. If I am still disgusted later, as I am now, I will join you in shunning this MK: Dumb Crossover.

Yeah but from a business point of view it's borderline retarded.

I'm goint to follow the rules and not swear, but if I didn't restrain myself, I'd be shouting every swear I could think of.
I read someone hopes midway goes bankrupt, I don't auite hope that, but almost.
I wish the MK team read these forums, or at least paid some attention to the fans. I though after MK:A things would get better, I guess I shouldn't expect much from Midway anymore. I hope whoever greenlighted this concept gets hit by a car.

Coincidence that so many people that joined this month and have under 10 posts..say that they are disgusted..
I registered yesterday because I was really excited to talk about the game series I've loved since I was like, 7 years old.
I am saying I am disgusted because the game series I've loved since I was 7 years old now features garbage like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.
If you think our post counts are any indication of our history with Mortal Kombat, then you are seriously mistaken.
Read again, I said coincidence..if you felt as if I was specifically talking about you, well whatever.. 
Plus, any "long time fan" saw this coming..since last year, when it was rumored around many places (online forums, websites, magazines)....
But, as it happens when any game (MK or not) is revealed: Overreactions ensue..Like how people hated Street Fighter IV, Zelda The Wind Waker, Halo 3..and the list goes on....at least those reactions were based on teaser trailer, pictures, videos, etc..all this is based on just one picture..that just shows two characters...

Fine, leave, why make a huge thing about it? why be a drama queen about it? if you're gonna leave, and I doubt anyone will actually care, you don't need to cause a scene, just click Logoff and leave.

I realise how smart Tobias was for leaving, bring him back and get rid of Boon if this game turns out to be MK8

Simply Disgusting. Midway and MK team can die now for all I care if MK vs DC is true.
Shame on you. Fans will abandon this franchise and it will die before it realizes.
I'm no longer a fan and this will be the mk that i will NOT buy.

This is worse than a dream I had 2 nights ago.
In my dream there was a screenshot of Scorpion, but he looked horrible, and goofy. And there were many videos, too many, revealing too much. And in 1 of them Kabal was there.. that's about it.
Ed Boon was right.. I never thought of it.. SuperHeroes. You might as well make them out of jello while your at it, cause we never thought of that either.
