I wanna see Midnighter versus Scorpion or Jenny Quarx versus Raiden

Their origin stories clash a bit. Unless the Presence was the One Being feeding on the energy of the Elder Gods, before they fragmented its consciousness into the various realms using the Kamidogu.

More likely:

A. One of the 52

B. Wildstorm/Vertigo

I’d like one of the 52, so their clash sort of makes sense. Two highly powerful beings in de-stabalized transdimensional traveling openings, being struck at the same time, and the same place (just in different universes).

And we know why you’d like it Palmiotti, lol. You, Justin Gray, and John Vogel can work together to make them fit (or some similar version of them).

Actually, this could be cool… bring the MK universe in with the DCU proper, make for some interesting books…

This is smart and stupid. DC will get the rights to Mortal Kombat . Time Warner will vastly overpay for the bones of this company. WB owned ATARI at one point and then sold it. They will probally do the same here at some point.Are video games going to just stop selling like everything else except for food and Gas?

I liked MK vs. DCU. I’d like to see a follow up with more characters and a better range of powers/moves.

Well this was bound to happen, I wonder if the MK team (Boon, Vogel, and co.) are part of the deal, I’m surprised Midway is selling off it’s ip’s and not just being absorbed by Warner completley.

I’d hope with WB getting all the licensing stuff, this could come around with alot of new stuff, comics, potential movie that could actually be good..

*imagines a Snyder directed Mortal Kombat*

I think it would be nice for MK to actually get an ongoing comic. It has a lot of story potential. Plus, we could finally get a full on tie-in comic.

Didn’t some guy buy controlling interest in the company for like a hundred thousand dollars some months back when the stock was damn near free? Quite a profit.
