I think one (of the many) fears mk fans have at this point is, what if the series just tailspins into vs game after vs game. You could almost liken it to horror movie remakes, once you remake a series like halloween or the upcoming friday the 13th, you can't just go back the orignal cannon.

If they do indeed treat this as a side game(like most are hoping) than that's great. But what if it's a success? Despite the huge uproar of the mk fanbase, there are actually a lot of people very excited about the prospect of an mk vs dc video game. Not to mention the T-rating has enabled any 13 year old to just walk up without there parents and buy the game, an audience that used to have to go through there parents first. With that fact and the legions of comic fans this may appeal to, this game has the potential to do huge numbers, something a "two steps away from bankruptcy" company like midway would love to milk for all it's worth.

I don't know about the rest of you, but i'm just worried that this, a vs game, will not just be a side game, but will become mortal kombat. The story(what's left of it anyway) up untill armageddon forgotten and the war between kombatants and superheroes becomes the cannon(hence the horror movie reference) and the series just keeps moving in that direction. That's where a lot of these fears and cries of anger are coming from(as far as i can tell).

The series needed a reboot gamplay wise. The story was in dire need of repair. Out with the old, in with the new, I understand that. But to just twist and skew the series into just a straight gimmick is the wrong way to go. The series has been brought back from oblivion before, gameplay and story wise (Deadly Alliance) it could've happened again.

Like I said, if this sells well enough and the right people see dollar signs, this isn't just going to be a spin-off it could become mk.

Thoughts?
