If you ask me (you're not, but I'll say it anyway), this will be totally pointless without gore/fatalities. Isn't that really the main benefit of having MK characters in a fighting game.

Sweet news for me, I wonder if they will include DC villains as well as heroes? Anyway these are the DC characters off the top of my head that I think would be cool in the game:
The Green Lantern
Doomsday
Martian Manhunter
Bizarro and Batzarro
Black Canary
Bane
Cyborg
Deathstroke
Steel
Captain Marvel
Scarecrow
Wonder Women
Flash and Aquaman I really can't see working though 
Can't wait to see how this turns out, its either going to be really good or really bad!

No fatalities=No purchase.Even though I love MK, I admit that if it weren't for the fatalities, I wouldn't like it.Because let's be honest, the fighting mechanics suck.

I suppose that fatalities will be removed and the blood levels cut down significantly, as to not detract from the DC mythos. Ie.. you rarely really see a flagship superhero character die a gruesome death.
Jibbs was right in saying that this title's only redeeming factor now will be nothing less than stellar quality as opposed to Mortal Kombat's usual trademark of gore. If they bother to create an enjoyable fighting engine with excellent visuals, then this could turn things around. Personally though, I feel that since John Tobias left the scene, things havent been the same for me when it comes to MK.

Showed my wife the announcement trailer and she said, "That looks soooo shit! Looks terrible! The fighting looks so stiff."
I reckon Midway should have invested money on another game like Shaolin Monk. That was HEAPS of fun. Throughly enjoyed that.
There just isn't enough of those fun beat em ups anymore. =[

Ed Boon said Fatalities will be replaced with more DC friendly Finishers. Quite left field, but I know I'm looking forward to it now that its official. They said there's going to be DC Supervillains in the mix too. I have no idea who they're going to include though.

The MK series has always been sub par compared to other fighters but its gore and Fatalaties is what made the game.
Take that out and you arent left with much...
Who DOESN'T want to rip supermans head off!!
