Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe:


WHY?

Okay, let's forget how bad the SNES Justice League fighting game was.  Let us also forget how bad Mortal Kombat has been for the past ten years.  Let's even forget about how Capcom already made several successful crossovers with the Marvel universe.  Even with the news of a game pitting 50 Cent against the Middle East in the name of a blinged-out skull, this idea is just stupid.  Oh, god, is it ever stupid.  Let me count the ways:

1. It's a Mortal Kombat game.  The Mortal Kombat series hasn't seen an honestly good game in at least a decade.
2. How the hell do you put Superman in a fighting game and make it make sense?  Anyone he'd fight would have their chest cavity caved in instantly.  Not to get all fanboy here, but how do you explain something like this?  Kryptonite-laced kevlar vests?
3. Despite the fact that this is a Mortal Kombat game, there won't be any Fatalities and blood won't be spurting all over the place, likely because DC doesn't want to see their characters torn to bits.  Without the blood and Fatalities, this game pretty much loses most of what appeals to the primary MK demographic.

I could go on, but why bother.  The only thing I can't figure out is who's idea this was in the first place, and I'm not sure I want to know the answer.
