Well this ones going to just FLY off the shelves...

SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDWAY OFFICES

Ed Boon: I've got it! finally I've thought of an Idea that will make me bigger than Jesus!

Midway Employee: What's that then?

Ed Boon: Remember that Street Fighter vs Marvel series of games our arch-enemies at Capcom did 10 years ago? Well, why don't WE make a Mortal Kombat game with DC characters!

Midway Employee: DC Characters? You're having a laugh. Marvel have been on a huge upturn of popularity in the last decade, whilst DC really... haven't. Especially in the cinema. The only Decent thing to come from them has been the new Batman movie.

Ed Boon: Batman is cool! And DARK! Just like the Mortal Kombat characters!

Midway Employee: And the others? Aquaman? He's just shit! And Superman is about as "dark" as snow... Anyway, how in fuck would you do a fatality on fucking Superman? He's nigh invulnerable, unless everyone else is wearing kryptonite gloves. Actually, come to think of it, I don't think Warner Brothers will be happy at all with any of their properties having their arms or spine removed.

Ed Boon: We don't need fatalities! Mortal Kombat wasn't about blood and gore, it's about my wonderful character designs and deep storyline!

Midway Employee: Are you on crack? All anyone cared about in MK was the fatalities. That was the only "hook" it had, and as soon as people got bored of that and realised the actual game wasn't that good, they just stopped playing our games. Lets face it, Street Fighter it's not.

Ed Boon: You're fired! I'm right! I'm always right! I'm the almighty ED BOON!
