Mill o’ Rumour: Mortal Kombat and DC Comics unite?
Here’s a rumor that made me just about wet myself. According to an IGN message board poster who supposedly has a “best friend” who works at Midway, the next Mortal Kombat title may be, indeed, “Mortak Kombat vs. DC Comics”.
The poster went on to say that the game would feature ten classic MK characters, and ten DC superheroes that included the likes of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, & The Flash. Since DC doesn’t want to see their heroes die, he continues, the game will feature no fatalities and will be rated T for Teen.
…I’m keeping this a rumor for two reasons. One, I don’t tend to trust IGN’s message board posters. Two, even if this were official and true, I would still mark this a rumor for simple ease of mind. I have a hard time believing that Ed Boon would allow his baby, Mortal Kombat, to be raped of everything that fans love about the series just for the opporitunity to beat up Aquaman.
Besides, I can tell you for a FACT that if you had a fighting game where you could have Sub-Zero rip Superman’s head off, people would cream themselves.
