Contrary to the initial announcement, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will have (some) Fatalities; though less blood and a Teen rating remain.
Superman with 100% more "Brutalities"
"All of the MK characters and all of the DC villains will have Fatalities," said Mortal Kombat founder Ed Boon, in an interview with GameSpot published on Monday. "The DC heroes who don't kill that often will have Brutalities that will function just like Fatalities but don't actually kill the opponent."
In April, it was revealed on announcement that Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe would carry a teen rating and feature less blood, the latter of which has been a staple to the venerable fighting series.
Additionally, it was reported that Fatalities would not be returning due to initial objections from DC Comics and the toned down violence.
As expected, Midway will be showing the game at E3 next month, specifically four characters and two arenas. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 this fall.

I can't imagine Superman performing a fatality, let alone having one performed on him. Hope all of the fighters have kryptonite too.

I thought this game was a bad idea (still do) but I have to admit I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Brutalities for heroes is a good idea... way to keep their image clean with the comic rep.

Okay... okay. Fatalities is a step in the right direction. This game might not be total garbage...

honestly what they need is a marvel vs dc with mortal kombat mechanics thrown in and of ocurse fatalitiies, and up the violence to an M rating, that'd make us adults love it way more...to hell with appealing to kids, besides with the current generation do they even know the glories of mortal kombat? I THINK NOT MIDWAY... it;s like teling kids hey were gonna make a bobby's world game, and the kids are like WTF is Bobby's world? yaomeen?
