Does this video reveal four more characters for Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe?

By Joe Fourhman | October 20, 2008

A “kollector’s edition” of Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe will arrive alongside the regular release in mid-November, packed with an exclusive comic book drawn by Mortal Kombat co-creator John Tobias. Midway released a brief video about this comic (shouldn’t that be “komic”?) that comics megasite CBR ran last week.

But I’m interested in one of the comics pages that drip by in a montage near the end of the video. In the screencap above, you’ll note the appearance of Johnny Cage, Goro, Aquaman and Robin. Two MK, two DC. Could this mean these guys are actually playable in the game, or is this just comic book backstory padding? Heck, that comic page could be describing why that quartet isn’t in the game!

To date, MK vs DCU only has 22 confirmed characters… which is on the low side for a modern fighting game, particularly when the cast is already split down the middle between two competing franchises. Another four fighters would be very nice… but what do you think? Genuine spoiler material, or just bonus printed fan-service?
