Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will feature a suite of familiar MK and DC characters beating the crap out of each other in ways both familiar and new. The traditional combat will take place in 3D arenas, but the game will also introduce "Klose Kombat" and "Freefall Kombat."

"We have characters throwing each other off buildings, through buildings, and fighting [while] falling from one arena to the next," said Boon. "In addition, our new 'Klose Kombat' is a brutal, up-close fighting mechanic with damage, torn clothing, and bruising."

To tie the franchises together, the team hired seasoned comic writers Jimmy Palmiotti (Painkiller Jane, Marvel Knights) and Justin Gray (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight). The two will work closely with the designers to craft a fiction that weaves the DC and MK mythologies together.

Boon was only willing to announce four characters at the event: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Batman, and Superman -- as if anyone expected any of them not to make it into the game. But he promised to show more characters during E3 this July. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is scheduled to hit stores this fall for 360 and PS3.
