So Supes is the villain? That's a missed opportunity, i wanted to see the Batfanatic backlash. Seeing superman kill will be kind of traumatizing too im sure.

Damn Buffalo Wild Winds are keeping me from viewing the larger pictures. Supes as the villain is lame though if that's what they're going for, they already did that with Red Son, and there's no way this will be as good as that, so its just kind of lame.

Well lets see how this SuperMan vs Batman thing plays out for the Story. Say what you will, but for fighting game standards Mk9 was pretty impressive on that aspect no denying.

I wonder if this will be like the MvC3 comic and reveal characters before official outlets do.

I remember them saying something the first time they announced this game that Superman was betrayed by someone which made him turn evil.

I'm excited for the story mode. I hope the AI isn't ridiculous like they were in MK vs DC.

These will be included in a physical copy at the end of the month right? Like 3 chapters per comicbook, I believe.

It would be nice if they add this comic as an extra in the game.

In the first picture, who is the crazy looking chick w/ the hammer that is fighting Catwoman? Is that just a poor render of Harley Quinn?

Naw, he's the villain. I mean I guess its up for interpretation, but the reason he "kills" himself at the end of the story is because he realizes he has become the villain when he wanted to be the hero.
