Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is an upcoming scheduled crossover fighting game from Midway Games in the Mortal Kombat series, which will contain characters from both the Mortal Kombat franchise and the DC Comics universe. Storywise, it is expected to follow the events of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Epic Games reports that the game is using their Unreal Engine 3 and is being developed for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with a Wii release projected for Q2 2009.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Most gaming websites have released a video, showing Batman fighting Sub-Zero, with the promo render at the end. It is unclear on how much of the game's violence will be retained due to the crossover, although a bit of blood can be seen when Sub-Zero punches Batman. No release date has been stated.

Controversy has arose over the announcement by Ed Boon that the game would be under a "T" Rating (Teen.) The lack of a Mature Rating has led to a backlash from the public in most part due to the absence of "Fatalities" which was one of the core components that set the Mortal Kombat series apart from other fighting games. Boon has promised that they will utilize a finishing system similar to that of the Fatality system without pushing the rating over to Mature.[1]

Epic Games also lists Mortal Kombat "8" for PC; however, this claim has been confirmed by the MK production team to be false.[2]
