While we still don’t know the final playable Mortal Kombat character, the complete DC Universe roster has finally been revealed for the upcoming Midway game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The last, but certainly not least, playable DC hero was of course, Wonder Woman. This completes a pretty solid roster of DC super heroes and villains, and includes all of the typical heavy hitters like Superman, Batman, The Flash, The Joker and Catwoman, as well as two surprises, Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Shazam (a.k.a. DC’s Captain Marvel). I’m glad to see Shazam be included because he and the other Fawcett heroes are so often considered the ugly step-child of the DC Universe.
While we still don’t know the 8th Mortal Kombat fighter to be included in MK vs. DCU, I was pleasantly surprised to find Kitana and Jax included in the roster. I think Midway did an excellent job of picking the MK roster, and I’m holding out hope that The Blot’s favorite Mortal Kombat character, Raiden, will be included in the fighting series’ latest installment. So far the Mortal Kombat playable roster includes Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Sonya Blade, ShangTsung, Kitana and Jax.
I’ve included the newest renderings of the characters in the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe video game and some newly released action screenshots taken directly from the game. I can’t tell you how excited I am for MK vs. DCU. The screenshots look really cool and I love the way Midway has incorporated the abilities of Green Lantern’s power ring into the Kombat style of fighting. I think GL Hal Jordan is going to prove to be a very formidable opponent in the realm of Mortal Kombat. Who knows, this game might actually push me over the edge into finally buying a Playstation 3.
