I saw this on the tube today and almost soiled my pants and then almost did it again from the cognitive dissonance. Scorpion? With Batman? One's a ninja-sorcerer with a mauling spear from the Netherealm cursed to forever seek vengeance for the murder of his clan and family. The other guy's super power is insane wealth. What next? Katana vs. Shazam? Sub-Zero vs. Mr. Freeze? Goro vs. Tom Sawyer?I guess this move makes sense, at least in terms of the advert. It's been rumoured that Mortal Kombat is trying hard to duplicate the Batman model of franchise reinvention, and it certainly benefits Midway to violate the laws of like 17 different fictional universes to hop on Christopher Nolan's coattails. OK, nerd-out PSA over now.ARIANNA REICHE
