Injustice: Gods Among Us stories
The Joker just straight up references Injustice during this newly revealed Mortal Kombat 11 mirror match introduction
The Joker played perhaps one of the most important roles in the story of Injustice having set in motion the chain of events that would lead to the rise of a ruthless Superman within part of the DC Universe — and now he's cracking jokes about it.
NetherRealm Studios has given us another glimpse at what The Joker has in store for us all when he drops in Mortal Kombat 11 next week by sharing one of the DC villain's pre-fight intros in a mirror match against another Joker.
D.C.'s Joker has historically been low tier in NetherRealm Studios fighting games, will he finally break the trend in Mortal Kombat 11?
Joker from the D.C. Universe will be releasing as a DLC fighter for Mortal Kombat on January 28. Please note that if you don't own the Kombat Pack, then you'll have to wait an additional week before getting the opportunity to play as him.
Although DLC combatants for NetherRealm Studios games have usually been fairly strong, history has actually not been very kind to the Joker. Throughout Joker's fighting game career, he has often been regarded as low tier. As a result, he tends to see very little in terms of competitive play.
We could look at Killbiro's ladies of fighting game art all day

The EventHubs crew ranks the best / worst fighting games of the 2010's from Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to Persona 4 Arena, Street Fighter 5 and beyond
As we come to the start of a brand new decade, it gives all of us the perfect time to reflect on the journey of the last 10 years and boy has it been a journey in the realm of fighting games and the FGC as a whole.
We'd previously asked the community what you all thought the best / most important fighting games of the 2010's were, and so now the EventHubs team members themselves have come together to rank their favorite fighters of the decade in our very own tier lists.

Update: What are the best and most impactful fighting games to release this decade?
Update: You can check out the final results of our poll below to see which games our readers believe to be the best / most impactful games of the 2010's.
December is upon us which means that there's only one month left in this entire decade that's been the biggest and most important eras in fighting game history. Today, the genre feels larger than ever before following the mostly quiet times of the 2000's before Street Fighter 4's release.
There's been so many fighting games that have come out in the last 10 years that many fans probably either forgot about or thought came out more than 10 years ago, so we've put together a giant poll to ask everyone what they think were the absolute best of the best and most impactful — from (Super) Street Fighter 4 all the way to Mortal Kombat 11 and Samurai Shodown.
More amazing Russian cosplay photos from Yaguar Photography
After a very positive response from our first gallery, we're back with yet another collection of wonderful cosplay photos from Yaguar Photography.
Today's showcase features four femme fatale fighters as we're treated some brilliant takes on Mileena, 2B, Harley Quinn, (as she appears in Injustice 2) and Skarlet.
Sexy, awesome, and horrible fighting game Halloween costumes
Halloween won't be rolling around for another 24 days or so, which means you still have time to get yourself a cool costume. If you're a big fighting game fan, that also might mean you're looking to pick something up related to one of your favorite competitive fighters.
As we do each year, tonight we're taking a look at some of the fighting game Halloween costumes out there right now. From sexy to straight-up horrible, Street Fighter to Super Smash Bros., the outfits here will not fail in putting a smile on your face.
Which guest character announcements were the coolest additions in a NetherRealm Studios fighting game? The results of our latest poll are in
Update: Voting has ended and the final results can be viewed below.
Earlier: These days, third party guest characters have become a fairly common trope in fighting games. NetherRealm Studios has been one of the companies that's been surprising fans with crazy additions to their titles throughout the years.
Among those that they have made playable and are planning to add, which fighters are the most popular?
The gloves are coming off for the Joker in Mortal Kombat 11 — Let's speculate on how the Clown Prince of Crime will play as DLC
Along with the Terminator and Spawn, Joker has been revealed to be one of the three guest fighters in Mortal Kombat 11's Kombat Pack. Based on the Joker's tendencies, you can't help but think that the Joker belongs in the Mortal Kombat universe.
Although the Injustice series really pushed the limits as to what Joker was able to do against his opponents, we'll finally be able to see some truly gruesome sequences that he most likely wasn't allowed to do against the heroes of the DC Universe.
While we wait for January 28, 2020 (Joker's release date), let us speculate on how the Clown Prince of Crime will play in Mortal Kombat 11.
Seventeen-year-old digital artist knocks our socks off with these otherworldly fighting game character depictions
We first caught sight of Mizuri's art because Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon was impressed enough by it to retweet with a caption deeming it "Next level Amazing." He wasn't wrong.
The 17-year-old digital artist from Melbourne is a self-taught fount of artistic skill. While they don't stick solely to fighting game characters, they have plenty of pieces depicting roster members from franchises like Marvel vs. Capcom, Mortal Kombat, and Injustice.
An absolutely crazy Dhalsim sequence, the Shang Tsung glitch abused, and father and son Goku 100% combo: Funny and Cool Moments episode 112
What are all of those exciting, strange, and unbelievable moments in fighting games if only you and your opponent ever get to see them? The Funny and Cool Moments series has been rounding up some of the best clips from across the internet for some time now, and today we're treated with the 112th episode.
Creator LiangHuBBB brings us a fresh installment of the video series that showcases plenty of incredible bits of footage across numerous games. Included here we see new games like Samurai Shodown and even upcoming title Granblue Fantasy: Versus.
Steam's epic Summer Sale features huge savings on big fighting game titles like Mortal Kombat 11, Soul Calibur 6, Dragon Ball FighterZ and dozens more
The biggest PC gaming sale of the year is finally upon us with the Steam Summer Sale which may prove to be one of the best times ever to pick up some fighting games for cheap.
There are over 50 different titles and their DLC currently discounted until July 9 including some of the largest titles of the past few years like Mortal Kombat 11, Soul Calibur 6 and so much more.
Arya Stark as Scorpion, Dennis Smith Jr. as Sub-Zero, Pikachu as Raiden... BossLogic is at it again
We weren't in the least surprised to hear that Australian digital artist BossLogic has been involved in a collaboration with Marvel/Disney for some amazing Avengers: Endgame art, as we've seen his ridiculous talents more than a few times here on EventHubs before.
When he's not helping titans of popular culture make their products look even better, Boss tends to show his love for fighting games via celebrity/character crossovers as well as original creations depicting some of our favorite fighters.
There's a scene in Shazam! where he plays Mortal Kombat, which was made by the guys that brought you Injustice, which featured Shazam...
From Suicide Squad to Aquaman to Bat Affleck and all the in-betweens, I haven't given much thought to seeing most of the modern DC superhero films. Given its comedic nature and more unique approach, there was about a 90% chance that I was going to go see Shazam!, and that percentage has now spiked up to 100.
Any superhero film that isn't afraid to take itself lightly actually calls for some pretty thoughtful writing, (unlike almost everything we've seen in recent DC films) and seeing a quick clip out of the upcoming film recently posted by NetherRealm Studios' Ed Boon has me sold that Shazam!'s writing room was a-thinkin'.
'We would love to make like a Marvel fighting game or a Marvel vs. D.C.' — Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon talked with Marvel about making a fighter
Marvel heroes and villains duking it out in fighting games isn't exactly a new concept. We've typically seen Capcom implement Marvel's characters in their "Marvel vs. Capcom" series.
Much to the disappointment of fans, there's never been an attempt at a "Marvel vs. D.C. Universe" type of fighting game. Still, Ed Boon's recent comments during Game Informer's 166 Rapid-Fire Questions session were certainly very interesting.
