Midway announced today that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is scheduled to hit North American store shelves on November 16, with a European release following on the 21st.

On those days, gamers and comic book fans can enter their favorite retail outlet and purchase the highly-anticipated pairing of some of the iconic characters from the DC Universe, like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and The Joker, battling against video game icons Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Sonya and more.

The title will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Although it takes a slight departure in the dark and gritty department from previous installments in the MK franchise, MK vs. DC will still feature fatalities, albeit with less gore. Don’t worry — that certainly doesn’t make the finishing moves in this game any less awesome.
