I look at the trailer, and I see Batman fighting Sub-Zero, and sure, he's scowling, but other than that, he looks like he's fresh from a cartoon. But, we know that Batman has a much darker side, and THAT Dark Knight persona would work better with MK, I'm convinced. grin I think it could be an idea to offer each character with an original "costume", then another that's more in keeping with the opposite Universe. (even have the alternate designed by the "opposing" team's art guys - that would be something really special! cool )

This way, the seams wouldn't be visible between the two worlds, and the game would seem smoother, and more coherent.

What do you all think?

Sure, I'd love to see Goro in spandex. With a cape. A nice pink one. grin

Cool idea. Could you imagine MK's Batmans suit? Like all stiched together black leather covering his whole body with a dark red batsymbol.

I'd be glad to see more than two costumes.

Though an idea just hit me that might be potentially cool. What would everyone think if MK characters had an alternate costume that might be more fitting for the DCU(maybe with the help of DC artists) while DC characters are redesigned by the MK designers to look grittier?

I think they're already doing some alterations to the costumes to make them blend more with each other. I doubt there will be movie costumes, since EA made the official games based on the movies(license). Two costumes per character is standard for a MK game, at least since MKDA.

Multiple costumes are always a good idea. happy While DC wouldn't want any costumes that the characters never actually wore in the game, the characters have had altered costumes throughout the series/movies they've been in so it would still work out.

Simply adding three or four appearances for each character would make this game 10x better.

Yes please!
Two costumes is not enough. Alot of modern fighting games have anywhere from 3-5. One of my biggest disappointments in MK's past few games has been a lack of costume diversity.

Two costumes? I don't see that happening.

An alternate costume could also work similarly to Tekken's Christie/Eddie for some characters. For example, an "Alternate Costume" for Superman could be Power Girl.

As an alternate costume for Superman, you could have his recovery suit, which was used in Reign of the Supermen.
