Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is a crossover fighting video game between Mortal Kombat and the DC Comics fictional universe, developed and published by Midway Games (their last entry in the franchise before they would go bankrupt in 2009 and sold the franchise to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment). The game was released on November 16, 2008 and contains characters from both franchises. Its story was written by comic writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. Despite being a crossover, the game is considered to be the eighth installment in the main Mortal Kombat series, as evidenced by the naming of the tenth entry by this count: Mortal Kombat X. The game was followed by a Mortal Kombat reboot in 2011 and by Injustice: Gods Among Us in 2013. The game takes place after Raiden, Earthrealm's god of thunder, and Superman, Metropolis' defender, repel invasions from both their worlds. An attack by both Raiden and Superman simultaneously in their separate universes causes the merging of the Mortal Kombat and DC villains, Shao Kahn and Darkseid, resulting in the creation of Dark Kahn, whose mere existence causes the two universes to begin merging; if allowed to continue, it would result in the destruction of both. Characters from both universes begin to fluctuate in power, becoming stronger or weaker. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was developed using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 and is available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. It is the first Mortal Kombat title developed solely for seventh generation video game consoles. Most reviewers agreed that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was entertaining and made good use of its DC Universe license, but the game's lack of unlockable features as opposed to past installments of Mortal Kombat and toned-down finishing moves garnered some criticism.

Captain Marvel:
Darkseid's energy merged with energy from the other universe. Dark Kahn's mere existence is what causing the two universes to collide.

Superman:
That explains the attacks on me and the rest of you. The strange fluctuations of our powers.

Lex Luthor:
It was you - your heat vision. You blasted Darkseid's boomtube and sent him hurtling into some unknown universe. This is all your fault.

Superman:
You accuse me? You helped Darkseid invade the Earth! Remember?

The Joker:
Fight, fight, fight, fight!

Captain Marvel:
Both of you calm down. You're being poisoned by the Kombat Rage.

Lex Luthor:
Poisoned by what?

Captain Marvel:
The dark energies from the world merge. We can't fight them on ourselves. We need to work together to find Dark Kahn.

Catwoman:
I have lives to spare. How do we find this Dark Kahn?

Superman:
If Dark Kahn is made of Darkseid's energy, it's a good chance he's on Apokolips.

Lex Luthor:
I know where we can access one of Dark Kahn's portals. I used it when Catwoman and I escaped. If their portal can take us to Oa, it can take us to Apokolips. Deathstroke, you and Joker secure that portal. This device will lead you to the base. Report back to me when you've succeeded.

Deathstroke:
You want me to assault an enemy base with him?

The Joker:
Come on. We'll kill things, blow things up. Oh, it'll be fun.

Lex Luthor:
Catwoman, you're with me. Can't be too safe in this town. Too many criminals. Superman and Captain America, you gather your hero allies and wait for my word.

Superman:
All right, Lex. I'll trust you, for now. You get to the portals, I'll go to the Fortress of Solitude and pull up everything I know about Darkseid. No killing. If one of you steps out of line, believe me, I'll know.

Superman:
[DC Universe Storyline first lines]

[Narrating]

Superman:
Metropolis, Earth's shining example of human achievement. This is where we made our final stand against Darkseid and his army of parademons. Born in the fire pits of a distant world called Apokolips. But what seemed like victory was only the beginning.

[Having Darkseid pinned down]

Superman:
It's over, Darkseid.

Darkseid:
Don't be so sure, Kryptonian.

[Superman slams Darkseid to the ground]

Lex Luthor:
[as Superman flies down to the ground to see Darkseid pinned to the ground] Took you long enough.

Superman:
Luthor.

[Flies to him]

Superman:
You threatened the safety of Earth for your own personal gain. You aligned yourself with Darkseid.

Lex Luthor:
I was only trying to ensure humanity's survival in the event that you and your other *so called* heroes failed.

[Both Lex and Superman see Darksied trying to escape through a boomtube]

Lex Luthor:
Darkseid has acitivated another dimensional boomtube. He's going to escape.

Darkseid:
This isn't over, Superman.

Superman:
Don't be so sure.

[He then uses his heat vision to defeat Darkseid]

Darkseid:
This can't be true. You're de-stabilizing the boombtube.

[Then, Darkseid disappears]

Lex Luthor:
[ After ducking a car] I'm amazed you didn't kill us.

Superman:
Save it, Luthor. You're going to jail, but this time I'm going to bring you some place more secure than Striker's Island.

[Picks Up Luthor and flies away with him]

Superman:
Don't worry, I'll make sure your cell has a nice view of Earth.
