Nice list. I take it Luthor will be wearing his power armor.
The story intro movie.
I actually want to buy it now.
Ha, wow! That looks pretty awesome!
This intro. movie, and a few other DC Comics vs Mortal Kombat, trailers and videoclips, have impressed me alot! 
Its weird.
This game could possibly have the greatest story mode of any fighting game.*
It seems to have an alright selection of voice overs.
It has The !+!+%+! Joker playable.
The fighting engine seems to have come on a bit since Armageddon, by going back to a simpler 2D route.
And yet Midway could very well die soon.
*by this I mean it seems to have overdramatic, pyromatic cut scenes. It will beat the terrible fan-teasing story mode from Soul Calibur IV by a long shot.
Huh... the story actually seems decent.
I'm intrigued.
IMDB wont confirm if that was Mark Hamill or not, but the VA was dang like him and awesome.
Ear is to the ground on this one.
Huh. Didn't sound like Hamill to me.
Though I was admittedly distracted by the fact that you seem to get to chance to play as Slade. Aka DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR.
Yea man...Slade looks awesome. Game might be alright.
"Come on, we'll kill things, blow things up! Oh it'll be fun!"
<3 Oh Mr J.
I think this game will actually be very awesome and cool, because of every single thing I've seen about this game so far.
Definitely not Hamill. Hm, kinda decent though. I'll allow it. 
Yea...I like it. Like it alot. I'll have to apologize to Ed Boon...I didn't think I was going to like this when thy first announced it. I think it'll be above mediocre[not an Armageddon or anything though] so yea...I hope I get to play this.
Edit: Played it at a friend's earlier. Hot Damn! Shazam! Game is quite impressive. Feels just like MK always has though...but I suppose that isn't a bad thing, huh? Kitana, Baraka, Deathstroke and Shang Tsung...are my faves. Oh wait...almost forgot...Captain Marvel! Whoa! And Raiden is back baby! Oh yes...will be a great weekend! Man Weekend!!
With Sonic Unleashed getting generally negative reviews and this game getting generally positive reviews, I know which old franchise in need of booster jab for the modern age I'll be spending my money on!
Fallout 3! 
Just kidding, I'm still a little torn, the story for this game might sell it, but also the fact that Midway needs support more than Bethseda...need to think a little more.
XDXD! Good one Robo. Hahah! I was like...Fallout 3...really? Haven't you already gotten that? 😛 Yea Bethesda is rolling in bunches and bunches of money...i'd say they're alright. But atleast give it a rent dude. And you know SSFII:T HD Remix comes out in a few days...well in America atleast. Not sure about elsewhere.
I got this and Tomb Raider Underworld (You reward a game when its demo includes the option to kick a tiger in the face).
Its alright. A genuine 7/10 effort.
Story mode is awesome. There is no clever effort to hide the fact they actually produced one with cutscenes. Its played out like Sonic Adventure 2 really. You have 7 chapters with DC and 6 with MK. The only disappointing thing is that they said there was going to be a load of cameos. There isn't. There is Quan Chi, the little Green Lantern guardian guys, Wizard and some other guy that is suspected to be Omac. There are a few name drops but thats it.
Annoying things are:
"Pro Moves" are really tricky to pull off.
No alternate costumes at all. I wanted Lex Luthor in a suit...
Other than the Kombo Challenges, Story mode and Arcade mode there isn't much else to do for the single player. No survival mode etc.
The balancing needs some fine tuning. I'm surprised that there wasn't a "countdown to infinite crisis" joke...
Kitana's mask shouldn't be there. Its not tied aroud the head.

You remember what Mileena was wearing in the last two MKs, right? I think the ninja girls invest in magic clothing.

Mileena...oh yeaaaahhh. If she is the one i'm thinking about. >_> Anywho...you are right JT, no alt costumes does indeed suck. Lame stuff, lame stuff.
There are rumours they might do Alt costumes as DLC. The ones Ed Boon said he wants to do are "Cutface Joker" and "Red Son" (Russian Superman).
Also they are planning DLC now:

I bloody hope they are free...
I myself don't mind Shadow Hog, I'm perfectly fine with that, and I hope nobody else minds as well Shadow Hog. I hope "Red Son" (Russian Superman) is in the game for this DC Vs. Mortal Kombat game, because that would be awesome! 
Hahah, yea I saw the title change and was thrown off, but it's no biggie. =P
No skin off my back.
Anyway, I'd like to see Kingdom Come Wonder Woman and Burton Batman (still the best looking of the movie suits imo) in there as costumes, as well as MK3 Sub Zero, Sonya, and Jax.
Those Mortal Kombat phrases were definitely very fun for me to listen to Psxphile, so thanks.
Just got the game yesterday from a friend.
I'm mixed but overall I'm liking it. Special moves are easy to pull off and flow into combos seemlessly, combos don't have that Tekken like memory game quite so much and feel more open, though not incredibly so, some characters are better than others I've found.
The story is actually pretty good, and I'd say it's a reason to get the game, the voice acting varies from pretty good to pretty bad, but nothing overly glaring or stand out. I've only played through the DC story so far so we'll see about MK.
My favourites to play as so far are Superman, Captain Marvel, and Batman. There moves are pretty kick ass, and you just have to watch them and you'll be entertained.
It looks pretty good, nothing technically wrong, though I like very few of the faces. Animation is pretty good, music hasn't stood out so far though, and the sound effects are classic MK meaty noises.
Overall, I like it, it needs more content which hopefully will be provided in DLC, but yeah, worth checking out.
Edit: Played through the MK side and I reaffirm that the story is good, and the voice acting isn't quite as bad as I first thought, I do have more criticism though.
Firstly, let me just say that when the fighting works it's incredible fun, however there are many things that don't work, the AI is one of them. It's terrible, it's either letting you beat it to a pulp or stealing any chance you have to win. And yes, I really mean stealing, there have been many, many fights where I'm getting in all the right moves, I'm doing great, and then they get into Klose Kombat or Free Fall or Rage and then they';; win, and each of these don't work for your advantage as much as you'd like.
Klose Kombat and Free Fall both suffer from the same problems, for one there have been many times where I should have taken it from the CPU opponent, I've hit the right button and still I don't get it, plus they can also wait for you to press the button only for it then choose a different button at that exact time, plus I've had instances where they won't hit anything until I leave enough of a gap for them.
As for Rage I really don't understand how it works, there will be times where I've barely touched the opponent and I'm don't to very little health yet they'll have full Rage metre and I'm not even at the first bar, and I've done nothing to use it (I'll get to that in a moment), and then there will be times where I've completely decimated my opponent and I have nothing in the metre, but they'll have it full.
The other problem with Rage is that you use have the metre when using the combo breaker, one of the better ideas from the last three fighters. For those who don't know, this means that if the opponent has you in a juggle or really long combo, you can knock them back to escape by hold block and pressing forward. However, juggles in the last games capped at three juggles, and you only had three breaks available, but they couldn't return. They will now replenish, but you only have two, and there doesn't seem to be any limit to the amount of juggles that can be performed, so when you couple with the above issue with Rage, you'll find yourself in need much more than the CPU.
The other issue with the AI is how efficient with the combos they can be, as well as how much they can block. Flash is immensely annoying, as is Deathstroke, though the boss characters are the worst mostly, Shao Khan especially. I've had an instance where a grounded opponent instantaneously popped onto his feet to block an attack, you try doing that and you'll just be on the floor for a while.
Another issue I've had, the Kombo Challenges don't work for me, they crash whenever they start from what I can tell, thought the 360 remains fine. Also I seem unable to get certain achievements from Arcade mode, namely the DC completion achievement. Also character endings haven't been unlocked in the Endings section of the extras, despite having completed it as Sub Zero, Superman and Batman.
Essentially, this game is both a huge triumph for MK but has far too many failures for me to love it. When it works it's fantastic, but when it fails it's infuriating. I can see this being best in multiplayer with a bunch of friends, but definitely not for competitive play for single player modes.
Very nice review Robo. But yea dude definitely, I liked the versus when my friends and I played together. I only watched a teeny bit of the DC story when my friend played it. He claims they'll make a sequel with Reptile and tons of other characters not in this one, but with the announcement of DLC featuring someone I wanted to see, Martian Man Hunter[only one I can seem to remember right now though...Reptile actually may have been one too] and Midway being sold for about 100,000 a few weeks back, I doubt a sequel will happen. Anywho...it's nice to see new crossovers, might open up the door to other stuff[LIKE BRIngING TatSUNoKO vs. CAPcoM to the STateS!!!1111 *goes mad*].
*explodes*
Tatsunko Vs Capcom will never be released outside Japan because of the licenses.
Sequels could happen in the future. Ed Boon has stated he is working on MK9 right now. But it does seem the whining fanboys have won in the short term though. The game didn't sell brilliantly.
Tatsunko Vs Capcom will never be released outside Japan because of the licenses
And you will never die a natural death!!!!!
Here's hoping Midway manage to stay alive for MK9, and if not, here's hoping someone with money can keep them alive.

Meh, you only want it for the Capcom characters anyway, I bet!

Weeeeeeell I've never played Rival Schools and Kyosuke is the only character from that game i've had the luxury to play as from the series, so Batsu ftw. But hey...Jun the Swan, Ken the Eagle and Yatterman look quite awesome.

Weeeeeeell I've never played Rockman DASH and Rockman Voltnut is the only character from that game i've had the luxury to play as from the series, so KOBUN ftw. But hey...Jun the Swan, Ken the Eagle and Yatterman look quite lacking in Rockman DASH .
Fixed!
...What? It's his birthday today. Don't look at me like that, he's in the game too
Hey what are you- PUT THAT FRYING PAN DO- [THUD] x_X;
LOL Nice. 😛
