if you havnt played the game, then how do you know what the storyline is? They explain how all the characters are able to fight eachother.

The story runs into some hiccups that ruin it for me. The Rage thing is a piss poor device that I suppose they whipped up to explain how any good-guy could look at Wonder Woman and imagine her a villain ("I know, let's give everyone Rage! Now the heroes will fight each other!") There were credible reasons for certain characters to fight each other that I guess the writer didn't feel like fleshing out.

On a whole, the DC characters were represented better than the MK ones. Batman's payoff line after the Flash fight is gold, and Joker was kinda entertaining.

Few things:

1) If I cared enough, I could always 'You Tube' the intro for the game...or just google shit.

2) You seemed to have missed my point: In my opinion atleast, it's just retarded to create this "world's collide" mentality and try and put logic into it. It just completely kills the 'willing suspension of disbelief.'

For example - if Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings somehow "logically" intertwined with each other, it would still..

a) Probably suck ass.
b) Be a massive 'fuck you' to the hardcore Harry Potter fans and/or Lord of the Rings fan.
