Mortal Kombat versus DC: I touch myself while reading Superman comics


If you press DOWN-FORWARD-PUNCH, Batman will have enough prep time

There's some sort of teaser going around that shows Batman going against Sub-Zero. I checked the calendar if it's still April 1, but since it's already the 19th, it leaves April Fools Joke pretty much out of the equation. A DC vs Mortal Kombat game for the Xbox360 and PS3 is really on the way.

I want to know what the guys at DC were smoking. They must have had access to the best shit. I can understand the Midway fools jumping at the chance to tie up with a really influential brand with lots of market equity, but Superman and Mortal Kombat characters really don't mix well and DC will only make their characters look silly. There's also a chance that the title will suck arse and make them lose money.

Also, even though I admit that I'm probably the biggest superman mark in the country, I'm still not being subjective when I say that Kal El can beat the crap out of MK's entire roster any day of the week and twice on sunday. We're talking about a bunch of martial arts guys who can shoot fire out of various extremeties, against a guy who can take weeks-long vacation in sun's core. In terms of powers and abilities, most guys in MK have 5 or 6 special powers average, while superman only has one: but it's The POWER TO HAVE ANY KIND OF POWER HE WANTS (also called the Eric Cartman power). Remember in superman II when Lois died and superman didn't want to have any of that? He fucking turned back time. Kung fu and Taekwondo is useless no matter how many times you add electricity, fire and acid to the stances, because they're going to go against someone who can turn back time. That's a feat beyond the capabilities of even the most powerful Danish-Norwegian Pop dance group in the world.


Aqua can't turn back time
