Official XBOX Magazine has just posted a brand new podcast containing an interview with Mortal Kombat creator, Ed Boon. Through out the twenty minute interview, Ed Boon discusses a few details including the initial fan reactions to Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, as well as the new damage feature. Boon goes on to discuss other crossover ideas and even divulges a bit of information regarding a new MK movie.

While no hints towards the remaining roster are revealed in the podcast, Boon informs listeners that a steady stream of characters will be revealed through the summer and into the fall, with all characters being revealed prior to the game's November release.

We will continue to offer more news as it becomes available. Our thanks to Dan Amrich for conducting the interview and to forum member for mailing in the news lead. To listen to the new OXM podcast interview with Ed Boon click here.

MK_Nat from the Midway forums has just released the render of the original MK bad guy, Shang Tsung! Shang stands ominously against a beautiful backdrop with a twisted soul in his clutches. He seems to have a detailed combination of his MK2 and MK3 outfits. It also is an interesting note that he appears to be aging. With the release of the Shang Tsung render we have now seen of all of the renders from the thus far confirmed characters appearing in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe.

Our thanks for the lead on the official Midway posting. Once a hi-res version of the render is made available we will add it into this story.

EDIT: The hi-res version of this render has been made available on the official site within the art section.

Over on the Midway Boards, MK_Nat has made a couple of announcements of note. First off, surprisingly soon after the release of the first MKast, Midway will be releasing the second in their MKast series this weekend. MKast is, of course, their series of podcasts discussing the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. The content of this MKast is as yet unknown, but as soon as it's released we'll be posting about it.

The second item of note is that tomorrow GameSpot will be releasing a brand new gameplay trailer, as well as unveiling two new characters. With this release, half of the lineup of the game will be known. As with the MKast, once it's released we'll be sure to post about it here.

For the third straight day, Midway has officially released a character render art from the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe! This time, we see one of the most recently confirmed characters in Batman's rival and often love interest, Catwoman! Perched high atop a roof in Gotham City, the bat signal looms in the background as she looks out over the city below. The design is a combination of many of her previous appearances in other media forums.

With this most recent release, the only confirmed character without a render is Shang Tsung, who was officially confirmed along with Catwoman a few days ago. We will keep an eye out for the shape shifting sorcerer in the coming days.

As with all the other character renders, this can also be found in the art section of the official site.

Thanks to forum member for the lead on this story!

Hot on the heels of the release of the Flash render, the folks over at Midway have released another character render from the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe! This time, the render is of the character that was revealed at the same time as the Flash: the original MK femme fatale, Sonya Blade! As with other renders, the Midway folks (represented by MK_Nat) have made the render available with white and black backgrounds, along with one showing her at a military base. As seen before, Sonya's outfit appears to be a cross between her last-gen appearances and her Mortal Kombat 4 appearance.

EDIT - 2:30 PM CDT - The high resolution version has been posted on the official website. Our thanks to forum/chat member for the heads-up about the additional render!
