I was a little skeptical when the first promotional poster for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe leaked yesterday, but it appears that the rumors were true.

At the Midway Gamer’s Day press event in Las Vegas today, Mortal Kombat series creator Ed Boon gave everyone an introduction to the next Mortal Kombat game.

“Every console generation, we like to wipe the slate clean with Mortal Kombat,” Boon said. “With this generation we’re starting new with both our fighting engine and, as you can see, our story mode.”

As of now, only four characters have been announced: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Batman, and Superman, but Boon has promised to show off more at this year's E3. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is scheduled to hit stores this fall for 360 and PS3.
