I guess when you have billions of Dark Knight money you can go around saving floundering video game companies and still comfortably run a major comics publishing house. But hey if you have Superman and Bugs Bunny under your belt, you’re probably good enough to weather any storm.

It would seem that the DC Universe/Mortal Kombat venture were larger signs of the future than anyone would have ever imagined. This year Midway, a games company founded in the 50’s, went under and had their properties, including the Mortal Kombat franchise, put up for bid and were finally picked up by Warner Bros. Interactive.

So this may not be the last time we see the likes of Scorpion and Sub Zero squaring off against Batman and Superman. Sonya Blade in a Green Lantern book? Extrapolate that and think Mortal Kombat rebooted on the silver screen with a shiny new WB logo. I had been concerned with whose hands they would fall in to, but am comforted with the outcome. Having a happy home at Warner could lead to interesting possibilities for the MK license.
