'''''[[Mortal Kombat]] Vs. [[DC Universe]]''''' is a [[Fighting Game]] launched in 2008 for Playstation3 and Xbox360. [[Exactly What It Says
This game stands out from similar [[Crossover]] [[Fighting Game|Fighting Games]] by having an actual plot, which is strictly followed in story mode – instead of picking up the characters, you choose a side and play the story with all of them, in order. Both sides' story [[Sympathetic POV|happen in the same time and space]]. It's set up between ''[[
In [[Superman|Metropolis]], upon his defeat at the hands of Superman, [[Darkseid]] tries to escape, using a [[Villain Exit Stage Left|BoomTube]], but Superman blasts him through the portal. Meanwhile, in another universe, Shao Kahn's invasion on Earthrealm has failed and he's blasted by Raiden's thunder right into the magic portal. It seems that peace has returned to both worlds. But it doesn't last long. Quickly, heroes, villains, and fighters from one universe gets transported to the other, both world's magic is disturbed, while powerful, irrational rage starts randomly taking over the characters, making them brutally attack anybody they see, even their allies.

The game features the following characters:
* '''DC side:''' [[Batman]], [[Shazam|Captain Marvel]], [[Catwoman (Comic Book)|Catwoman]], [[Darkseid]], [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Deathstroke]], [[The Flash]], [[Green Lantern]], [[The Joker]], [[Lex Luthor]], [[Superman]], and [[Wonder Woman]].
* '''MK side:''' [[Mortal Kombat 2
It also features some unique minigames which you can play during a fight, such as the Freefall Kombat, (which happens if you throw your opponent out from the ring, your character will jump after him and, if you push the right buttons at the right time, kick his ass in the air, before landing on a new arena) Klose Kombat (a guessing game where you try to block your rival's hits during up-to-four turns) the return of [[Mortal Kombat (
The reception of this game was somewhat mixed, and marked the end of Midway Games. Interestingly enough, the [[Mortal Kombat]] franchise is now owned by [[Warner Bros]], which [[Life Imitates Art|also owns DC Comics]].

== ''Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe'' provides examples of: ==
* [[A Day in
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Where are the likes of Johnny Cage, Goro, Robin or Aquaman? Erased from existence thanks to the universes merging. This was only mentioned in the comic book that accompanied the limited edition of the game.
* [[Alternate Company Equivalent]]: To the ''[[
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: All the [[Badass Normal]] characters have been temporary powered up, so they can beat up warriors like Raiden and Superman.
* [[The Cameo]]: Quan Chi appears in the MK side of the history. The Martian Manhunter is mentioned in the DC side.
Line 38:
* {{spoiler|[[De-Power]]}}: {{spoiler|After the destruction of Dark Kahn, both Darkseid and Shao Kahn end in the opposite universe, where they're rendered, apparently, powerless. That lasts until their respective endings in the Arcade mode, where they're repowered again.}}
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Superman and his friends find out that some force is merging their world with another, which is destroying them both. The merging is causing certain characters to act violent and hostile. Superman and co. travel to a void between the worlds, with lots of floating rocks. They run afoul of a team of warriors from the other world, and the thunder god challenges them. Superman and the thunder god battle bitterly until they realize that they've been victims of the rage caused by the merging, and the two of them join forces against the main villain. The villain is defeated, and the two worlds are separated and restored to normal - but a major villain ends up suffering an ironic fate. [[JLA-Avengers|Sound familiar?]]
* [[Dueling Games]] with ''[[
* [[Enemy Mine]]: First, the heroes and villains band together against another Universe. {{spoiler|Then everybody joins forces against Dark Kahn. It doesn't end well}}. Thankfully, Raiden and Superman manage to restore everything to normal.

Line 57:
* [[Rainbow Pimp Gear]]: The online mode offers the chance to upgrade your stats with clothes... with some of the worst examples of this trope.
* [[Rashamon Style]]: The story is done this way, up until Raiden and Superman's chapters.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Many endings in the Arcade Mode suggest a sequel, such as {{spoiler|Lex Luthor forming a [[Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
** {{spoiler|In story mode, Shao Kahn is banished to the Phantom Zone, and Darkseid to the Netherrealm. In their arcade mode endings, Shao Kahn escapes the Phantom Zone with an army of Kryptonian supervillains, and Darkseid escapes the Netherrealm and forces Shang Tsung into his service (making him his new Desaad), effectively having the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] trade places with one another.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Check [[Mortal Kombat
* [[Shows Damage]]
* [[Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Trailer]]: The first trailer of the game is pretty much just Batman and Sub-Zero fighting, nobody else appears, even in the [[Mirrored Confrontation Shot]].
