It seems like some franchises are not meant to cross over with anybody. Mortal Kombat is one of those franchises. For example, that Street Fighter x Mortal Kombat crossover that never was. Why didn't it happen? Because nobody wants to see Chun-Li being sliced in half by Kung Lao. Applying it to this game, nobody wants to see Wonder Woman having her spine pulled out in a bloody mess.

So if we can't have the DC characters being mutilated in a Day of the Dead-level bloodbath, then tone down the gameplay and fatalities until there's barely any violence. But, it's still a Mortal Kombat game, and what is MK without the violence and blood? Plus, there's nothing in this game that hasn't been done better in previous MK games.

Never mind the fact that it's DC, it could have been anybody else and it wouldn't make a difference. I love my crossovers fun and wacky (Capcom vs. SNK, Marvel vs. Capcom, etc.), but this doesn't feel like it's even trying.
