You're kidding, right? Nite Owl is nothing like Batman. For starters, they sound nothing alike. Daniel Dreiberg is a geek, Bruce Wayne is a superficial playboy. The ONLY thing similar between the two characters is the fact that they have no special powers but use gadgets to fight with, but their gadgets and fighting styles are very different.


Wow, you just proved his point.

That's the most important part of fighting games..the fighting style.
How did I prove his point? Did you bother to read the entire sentence or did you only read up until the word "powers"? It's funny how nobody complained about Scorpion's and Sub-zero's movesets being similar all these years. Heck, they were basically the same in this game where all of the characters' movesets were watered down.


Scorpion=fire, Sub-Zero=ice..enough said. You obviously think "OMG WATCHMENZ IS SO COOL" just cause some movie came out.

That's why most people think Batman is cool now... I know at lot of people who couldn't care less about Batman until The Dark Knight came out.

Anyways, the Watchmen would have made a hell of a lot more sense than the canon DC Universe (excluding Dr. Manhattan). DC makes absolutely no sense fighting MK in the first place. They should have just made the last game a DC-exclusive fighting game rather than MK vs. DCU. That would have been badass. And now that the MK team is with Warner Bros, I think a DC exclusive fighting game is very possible. I would prefer this over MK vs. DCU 2.

Anyone who said that Rorschach (or even Watchmen in general) is not part of the DCU are serious n00bs:



^Bottom right-hand corner. This is a fold-out poster from the History of the DC Universe hardcover (1988).


In Watchmen Superman is just a comic book character, the first comic book the first Nite Owl ever read was an issue of Action comics.

In an article in Watchmen DC is expressly mentioned.

In the world of Watchmen John Ostermon (aka Dr. Manhatten) is the only super powered being.

Each universe is defined by the version of Earth that inhabits them. The earths of Watchmen and cannon mainstream DC are completely different so they cannot inhabit the same universe.

I'll say this again, DC Universe refers mainly to New Earth.

Watchmen are not part of New Earth, a version of the Watchmen characters combined with Charlton Comics characters makes up Earth 4 but even that isn't exactly the Watchmen continuity as shown in the Watchman graphic novlel.

I have no objection to alternate versions of characters being used as costumes being used but Rorschach is simply not a part of the earth being used and cannot be a character in his own right in the game.

^Thank you, konorob.

@Kaine:
As for Watchmen not being in the same "universe" as the other DC Universe-goers, couldn't they make it the same situation as Mortal Kombat's Earthrealm versus DC Universe's Earth (the merger of two universes)? Dr. Manhattan has the ability to cause cataclysmic occurences, so it's not like it's impossible.

No problem. Also, there's this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_(comics)

Go to references in other comics. Rorschach clearly exists within the Kingdom Come canonicity, where Superman and Batman aren't just comic book characters.

I think they could probably get away with it if they say that the cracks in what is happening are causing other earths to become involved or for people like Rorschach to fall through.

The impression the first one seemed to give was that it was an event just between the two earths.

I think there is a bit more flexibility than fans allow. After all there isn't a Mortal Kombat earth in DC continuity but no one has pointed that out in the continuity.

Bascially it is possible but it would have to be a plot point that other Earths were involved somehow.

1) That is a different version of Rorschach.

2) Kingdom Come cannonicity is irrelevent as the continuity of the MK V DCU game was clearly New Earth.

I'll say this again, different versions of earth means different universe and DC universe generally applies to New Earth.

Jeez wonder what Spoon's favorite word is.

I don't think Rorschach would be appropriate really. He doesn't have enough about him to make specials and fatalities.

Alright, but you also have to take into consideration that MK vs. DCU was by no means canon. Sure the characters within it are canon, but the events that take place before, during, and after aren't. Nothing made sense in the MK storyline during MK vs. DCU, so I don't see why you think it would be so bad if the DC side used a different Earth with a different canonicity. BUT, like I said before, MK vs. DCU was a bad idea. A DC vs. DC would have made for a much better fighting game, just as MK vs. MK would.

It only defeated MK:A in sales still I won't hide the fact that this game saved MK from going with Midway .

I just don't think that we need another crossover in a very long time .

I think Rorschach could be a great addtion to the DC roster, he is brutal, and in my opinion is brutal enough to be a MK character, those who have watched the film and played the Watchmen games would know.

But that is if another crossover game ever happens.......

P.S Hello everyone I am new here
