The Not-That-Exciting Full Roster of Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Revealed
Posted at 12:02 PM Sep 11, 2008
Alas, poor Midway. I'm sure they were hoping to announce the remaining DC characters in some fancy-shmancy way, but when they submitted the game's Achievements list to Microsoft, that effectively announced the full roster. It's not even that exciting, sadly. I'm not going to even bother with the Mortal Kombat characters, since no one cares about them, but joining the previously announced Batman, Catwoman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Joker, Deathstroke and the Flash will be:
• Darkseid
• Lex Luthor
• Shazam
Uhh...and that's it. Three more characters. Overall, only one female superhero, and not even a full Justice League. Not even Sinestro as a re-model of the Green Lantern characters. Hell, not even Zoom as a yellow Flash alternate costume. As much as I gave this game shit, I was certainly interested in it. Now...not so much. (Via Kotaku)

Eh, a roster of 22 characters seems pretty standard for a fighting game for me. If this was a DC only fighting game, then I could see a rpoblem with only 11 fighters. But we have another 11 from MK, so it seems like a decently 'full' roster for a new fighting franchise.
Enough for me anyway. :D
(Oh, and Shazam was actually already announced a couple months ago early on in the announcement. Not be a jerk, just an FYI.) ;)
Posted 09/11/2008 at 09:09:00 AMPity.. I was hoping for Lobo. I certainly hope Lex Luthor has his exo-suit, he'd make for a boring character without it.
Posted 09/11/2008 at 09:28:43 AMI believe the boss(es) in the game is(are) a combo of Darkseid and Shao Kahn.
I was excited for this game...until I remembered how little I like fighting games.
Can't wait for Batman: Arkham Asylum, though (assuming it's, y'know, good).

Posted 09/11/2008 at 12:11:18 PMThat's it? No Green Arrow, Black Canary, Sinestro, Gorilla Grodd, Brainiac, Nightwing, Metamorpho, Solomon Grundy, Black Manta, Aquaman, Huntress, Lobo, Hawkman, Zatanna, Spectre, Powergirl, Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter, Etrigan, etc.?
Jesus, that's so fucking lame.
Look at the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 list:

So much more.
Oh and I'd pay money to see Oracle fight in her wheelchair for this game.
Posted 09/11/2008 at 02:38:07 PMthis game would rock harder if it was DC vs DC. MK was boring from day one.
