Midway has just released a pretty nice video of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe which offers a nice demonstrative recap of some of the elements we saw at this year’s E3. Narrated by series creator Ed Boon, it’s promotional videos like these that make me wonder why we even bother to write our own previews, if publishers are just going to do it for us.

The video shows off just about everything we touched on in our hands-on preview from E3. You see some of the announced playable characters in action, including Superman, Batman, The Flash, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Sonya Blade. Boom talks about the game’s new close-combat fighting, and the ability to interact with the environment. What you don’t see are Superman and Scorpion’s finishing moves; you’ll have to read our preview to get the scoop on that.

What you also don’t see in action is the just-announced playable character, The Joker. Midway has passed along a pretty large and impressive render of the villain, who is currently receiving quite a bit of attention thanks to The Dark Knight film, which has made a few bucks at the box office from what we understand.
