Now. This is going to get crazy. Like Mel Gibson crazy..not Tom Cruise crazy. Possible Gary Busey crazy.
Anyways, My Idea is that. the Batman in the trailer is in fact a CAW. MIdway got a deal with DC to use licensed material in their CAW mode. Thusly making perfect representations. The actual MK8 will just be a normal MK game.
Although I'm not sure whether they're serious about the lack of Fatalities, though that may have been part of the deal for using their peeps.
Decapitated Batman is and I quote a very famous swordsman 'NO GOOD!"
So instead of gore and blood there's going to be...possible decent gameplay.
Gamer 1: BAWWW I CAN'T RIP YOUR SKELETON OUT YOUR ASS!!!
Gamer 2: But holy shit did you just fling my dude through a wall by my ankle?
Though I personally find it strange that Batman can be struck and impaled by Scorpion's famous phallus instrument...maybe this time around it's a lil suction
cup...and instead of a skull, scorpion is

.
I honestly want to know how Sub-Zero will be able to hold his own against Superman. Seems a lil one sided.
ANyway, I"ve ranted long enough (for now)
This went from me telling you it's all a ruse to imitating the angry Fans out there because they can't play Barbarian Ninja Surgeon Deathtouch-A-Rama.
Peace, bitches.
