Is anyone even exited at this, the MK series have gone down the drain since MK4, and now they take away what little appeal the series had left, not even Batman can save this game.

Well, I have been a fan since the first MK in the arcades and this just ruins it. Seriously? What is this no fatality shit? Mortal Kombat? This isn't mortal kombat anymore. This is just pathetic. Hopefully if they hear enough complaints(which they will), they may actually think about what they're doing.

Guess I'm the only one who's slightly interested. I guess that's because i hate fighting games and this is something different from the norm.

He -did- say that there would be no "easy win" fatalities. So maybe finishers are still in there? Also, I definitely saw blood there.

OK. I'll play devil's advocate, even though I'm not a big fan of the MK series.
The MK characters are superhuman/supernatural. I mean, Goro, Raiden, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, etc... All would be capable of existing in a super-hero universe.
DC characters are usually SUPER powerful, though. Gods and aliens are DC's forte. For this to work at all, they'd have to keep the DC characters in the same "power range" as the MK cast.
So, as a comic geek, I'm picturing this lineup for DC:
Batman
Deathstroke the Terminator
Nightwing/Robin
Wonder Woman
Killer Croc
Black Canary
Hawkgirl
Cheetah
Mr. Freeze
Lightning
However, they said Superman WILL be in this, which leads me to think they're going to go with the mainstream DC heroes:
Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Green Lantern
Martian Manhunter
Hawkgirl
Aquaman
. . .Basically, the TV Justice League.
Oh, and how do they make Superman fit without the problem of him being too powerful? Simple. The MK games are based in MAGIC. If Superman is in a magical realm, fighting magical opponents, then he's vulnerable. If the sun is different (or nonexistent) in that realm, then he's at lower power.
That explains Superman's being weak enough not to knock Goro's head off. But what about Wonder Woman? She's pretty powerful in her own right. What about Green Lantern, who can literally do ANYTHING with his ring? What about The Flash, who should be too fast to even see on the screen? What about J'onn J'onzz, who should be damn near invulnerable except when faced with fire?
How will they "power down" the gods and aliens of the DC universe? They probably won't.
This makes it necessary for them to "power up" the MK cast. It's the only thing DC would accept. So expect to see the MK characters get a serious power boost, so they can withstand a punch from Wonder Woman, or do damage to a shielded Green Lantern.
Really, this is just a bad idea.

How tragic. First video game I ever played was Mortal Kombat II in an arcade. Now MK failed to clear over the the shark on it's jump and is now dying a painful death.
