I was just subjected to an advertisement for possibly the stupidest crossover game ever.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC

Okay, even ignoring the fact that you have to tone down Superman or Darkseid (yes, Darkseid is a playable character) so it wouldn't be insta-kills of... say, every MK character, I have one big problem with the game.

Just how the fuck do they expect to beat the goddamn Batman?

They wave Selina Kyle in his face.

Part of me wants to play this and part of me wants to douse it with Holy Water.

I'll wait for Arkham Asylum to come out.

What's better...

The fatality for the Joker involved him pulling out a typical joke gun (flag that says Bang!) and laughing before tossing it aside, pulling out a real gun, and shooting the opponent in the face.

Needless to say, certain groups complained. Because comic books and violence, after all.

Now, the shooting-in-the-face happens offscreen.

*sigh* Right, because the Mortal Kombat games have been a model of restrained violence and civility before the DC characters came along.

Well, he's too busy pissing himself and tripping over his cape to fight back, of course.

It's BATMAN.

Why would you expect any different?

You obviously have some very strange ideas about Batman.

Now, Booster Gold pissing himself, I could see that.

I've figured out how the Mortal Kombat crew takes out Superman.


They all use magic.

He's fucked when it comes to magic.


Of course, this doesn't explain "Joker vs Batman".
