Both!

If Noob & Martian Manhunter make it. My heart will sink. In a good way!

MK fan. MK is its own thing, its own story characters ect... at first I didn't like the sound of this game but now im ok with it, as I do like the DC characters (Batman is my fav super hero) BUT I still think making the game T for Teen rated is a mistake. I understand what Boon is saying when he says "DC have rules and Superman can't kill people" ok I get that, but lets think back to the Liu Kang video trading card, when he talked about Liu Kang in MK1 he said that he wouldn't have a fatality like the other characters cause he is the "good guy character" that is fine with me. So I don't get why they couldnt do the same thing with MK vs DCU...Superman has no lethal fatality, but Sub-Zero is still hardcore. I'm so conflicted! I am going to give this game a chance and I am going to E3 to play the game in July and get lots of video footage for the fans, the results will be in then!

Regards,
-TMK

I have never watched or read a DC comic to be honest. I only know a few characters of its universe also. I love Mk is the short answer and my vote Sheyla.

I think the idea here is that while some of the DC characters may not just kill, having respective character finishers/fatalities still leave the DCU guys open to a violent end at the hands of someone who is willing to do such things, and that could encroach on the image DC marketing wants to maintain.
The only solution I can think of is giving them different fatalities based on whom they fight, and Boon did, in fact, mention this idea, so while I think it's too much work to complete, it's still a possibility mentioned by someone involved in the game.

I'm an MK fan first. I've been an MK fan since part 1 hit arcades. Which is pretty much why I'm here in the first place. I've played every MK game that has ever been released and I've liked them all. I generally don't buy console games anymore since I started playing MMOs but I still make it a point to get every MK game on its release day which says a lot for Midway Games and the Mortal Kombat development team!

I'm not a big fan of DC comics at all, but they do have a few good characters. And since the roster in MK vs DCU is limited I'm sure all the characters that make it in will be good ones. Marvel comics would have made a much better crossover IMO but I think this game looks cool anyway. I can't wait to see how it turns out!

i generally dont quote much, but i had to this one...coz you/he said all i was gonna write, exactly. I voted for MK, i am a big MK fan and was from the 1st game and movie.
I played all MK games and i think MK is awsome, i love how brutal and gory it is..and how cool characters it has.
Plus, i love Sub-Zero for life...honestly, i dont like DC...i hate DC. They have a few good looking characters, but i dont care...all i care about, is kicking some DC ass in MKvsDCU....Fatality here I come!

I actually like them both. MK a bit more though. I have done a lot of research on DC since I have heard of this game, and after all sorts of this research, I actually decided that I like DC better than Marvel.

Well, kudos on doing research instead of automatically jumping on the hate wagon.

While I love MK, I can see where some of the DC characters could be awesome! Plus a man who dresses up as a Bat certainly has issues right? thinking

I'm a DC fan because of it's fantasy/sci fi action world. I like MK because of its gritty gruesome story. DC rules!!!! (mk too)

Mortal Kombat! Nuff said. Men who can't dress themselves properly doesn't really appeal to me.
