Random News Trifecta: Mortal Kombat Vs. DC, Iron Man, Scooby Doo
? Kotaku has the first screenshot I know of Captain Marvel in Mortal Kombat Vs. DC, as well as the game’s cover if you click there. I know virtually nothing about the character, but has he always had those little flowers sewn to the back of this cape? Uh-huh.
? The Iron Man Blu-ray is the best-selling Blu-ray ever. Not bad for being on sale for two days.
? Cartoon Network will be showing Scooby Doo Vs. the Goblin King on Sunday evening. I had really, really hoped Scooby and the gang would be solving the mystery of what’s in the hefty bulge inside David Bowie’s pants (magic pants), but it turns out it’s some other Goblin King. I prefer my version better.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
