Comic-Con: Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe Panel: Joker, Shazam, Green Lantern Announced!
Jono here, reporting live from Comic-Con! I just attended Midway's Mortal Kombat. Vs. DC Universe where they just revealed Shazam, the Joker, and the Green Lantern as brand new DC characters. No footage of the new characters were shown, however. Kitana, Shang Tsung, and Liu Kang were also announced.
Ed Boon and Jimmy Palmiotti were featured at the panel and showed footage of the game, including Sonya vs. The Flash, Batman vs. Sub Zero, and Superman vs. Scorpion.
The gameplay is looking fantastic. The only thing that makes me hesitant is the slowness of the standard Mortal Kombat fighting moves and it looks like it is continuing in this installment. However, in special sequences when a fighter takes another through walls or during free fall kombat, the action picks up and becomes more intense.
They also confirmed an official comic book tie-in that will be published by DC as well as a special PS2 bundle featuring the last three MK games for $29.99 to be released soon.
Hit the jump for more info, including the official confirmed roster thus far!
Here is the official confirmed roster thus far:
- Batman
- Sub Zero
- Superman
- Scorpion
- The Flash
- Sonya
- Catwoman
- Shang Tsung
- Shazam
- Liu Kang
- Jax
- The Joker
- Kitana
- Green Lantern
I also received a mysterious ticket and was told that it would give me entrance to the room of enlightenment...hopefully this leads to hands on time with a demo.
Stay tuned!
