Flash in new MK vs. DC Trailer
A new trailer for the game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is out:
A lot of the video with the Flash is familiar from last week’s GTTV episode, but some of it is new…including a fatality at the end. (Apparently someone decided this was a Crisis.)
Via Blog@Newsarama. (Thanks to The Dan of Steel for pointing it out.
Flash Video in MK vs. DC
Game Trailers TV has posted an episode on Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Most of the 21-minute episode is a “making of” feature on MK vs. DCU, with interviews and video clips showing various characters in battle: Superman vs. Sub-Zero, Flash vs. Sonya, Batman vs. Scorpion, and more.
There’s a little about the storyline: cataclysmic events occur in both the DC and Mortal Kombat that result in the worlds merging (it’s called “Worlds Collide” after all), and each set of characters thinks the other is responsible.
Heat Wave for DC Universe Online
The upcoming massively-multiplayer online game, DC Universe Online, has launched an official Myspace page. First up: concept art, featuring various Metropolis and Gotham City locations, character designs for Power Girl, Poison Ivy, Hawkgirl, Raven, Huntress, Cheshire, Harley Quinn, Black Canary, an Amazon warrior (beginning to see a pattern here?)… and Heat Wave. (And Bizarro.)
Okay, it’s an odd combination, but it’s good to see one of the Flash’s Rogues represented so early in the publicity stages for the game.
More Flash in Mortal Kombat
Quick follow-up to last week’s post about Flash in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: CBR and other sites have more screenshots — much clearer than those magazine scans — including these two with the Flash:
Flash Confirmed for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
Reader Ungenesis pointed me to a set of images which confirm the presence of The Flash in the upcoming video game, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
The costume isn’t quite one of the standard variations. It’s got the V-shaped belt like Wally West’s, but the cutout on the boots is reminiscent of Bart Allen’s costume as Kid Flash, and the yellow armbands are entirely new. Edit: And as Ungenesis points out below, the gloves are yellow as well, another variation that doesn’t appear in any of the standard flash costumes — though it can be found in several alternate reality designs, including the original Earth-3 Johnny Quick, Ms. Flash, Earth-D’s Tanaka Rei and others.
Judging by the forums at Worlds Collide, the official site for the game, the images were probably scanned from the UK’s XboX 360 Magazine.
Update June 25: More screenshots have been released (available from CBR and elsewhere), including this one, which shows a much clearer view of the Flash’s costume:
