As for Darkseid, I’m a little torn as to my feelings concerning his Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe rendering. On the one hand I really like this “modern” take on the classic Kirby character and think his new uniform fits in really well with the Mortal Kombat universe. On the other hand, I was really hoping he’d be wearing and fighting in his traditional grayish blue skirt. Plus, he’s really not as thick and blocky as Darkseid traditionally looks. It seems like of all the DC Comics characters, Midway changed up Darkseid’s appearance the most and I’m more than a little surprised they did that. With that being said, the end result looks pretty sweet so I don’t have that much room to complain.

Look for the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe video game to hit store shelves in the U.S. and the rest of North America on November 16, 2008.
