The Joker Gads About Without Shame
Let this video load, and then skip to the 3-minute mark to see the Joker in Mortal Kombat Vs. DC action (the first three minutes are all talking about stuff we already knew). The Joker’s moves are a little weird, in the sense that he pulls many things out of mid-air?including a large extendable boxing glove?which seems to break even the fragile, highly goofy reality of the Mortal Kombat universe (I mean, that kind of thing is okay for some of the goofier Capcom 2-D fighters, but I thought we had an unspoken agreement not to do that in 3-D). Still, you get to see the Joker’s Fatality move, which will make even less sense against Superman than everything else the game has shown so far.
