Preview: Mortal Kombat vs. DC is a bad idea
When we hear of the phrase Mortal Kombat, only one thing first comes to mind: Fatality. Even Capcom can admit that this concept featured in MK challenged the supremacy of their Street Fighter.

Simply Sugoi: Slap on a Bat Signal to your house
Now if you happen to have $395 lying around (and a few more for shipping…) and have fantasized about Batman coming to your rescue, then this item might be a must have for you.

Don’t be fooled by the relatively small dimensions on this thing (12? x 2.25? x 9?) but this gizmo can project Batman’s insignia up to 16 feet...
