We were all rife with girlish delight when MK vs DC was confirmed. Then we were told no fatalities and a T rating and everyone went back to flaccid. Ed Boon, father of the MK franchise has clarified a few things for us. There will be fatalities but not for everyone. Some of the DC characters are more lenient than others and rarely kill, so they will have a brutality instead. No idea which DC characters will be more pacifistic, but we can speculate. Batman, Flash, Superman, these guys rarely killed anyone. The game will be a Teen rating so don’t expect a bloodbath.

Certain animations, blood effects, and sound effects that we have in the game are really pushing the T-rating envelope,” he said. We’re sure gore hounds will find this worthy of debate, but we’re more concerned about everything that happens before the fatality.

We are all waiting and hoping this is not the letdown of the year.
