View this post on InstagramClassic animated films like 1994's Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, Batman: The Killing Joke from 2016 and of course the classic anime Akira from 1988 each prove that cartoon flicks aren't exclusively made for the kids. For a film like Scorpion’s Revenge, the same sentiment applies due to its R-rating. Directed by Ethan Spaulding (Batman: Assault of Arkham) with a script by Jeremy Adams (Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans), the movie takes us back to the beginning with Earthrealm protector Lord Raiden recruiting fighters against the evil Shang Tsung and the Outworld. Fan-favorites, good and bad, like Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Scorpion, Hanzo Hasashi, Sub-Zero, the aforementioned Shang Tsung and Raiden, Quan Chi, Kano, Jax Briggs, Goro, Kitana, Satoshi Hasashi and Demon Torturer all make appearances in what's sure to be an action-packed adventure.

NetherRealm Studios released a trailer for The Joker, Batman's arch-nemesis and the latest playable guest in Mortal Kombat 11. The 2-minute video highlights a slew of savage combat moves that will be a blast to use in-game. The trailer is comprised of in-game combat footage. The Joker's fatalities are amazing.
With the new Joker playable character, gamers will also have access to new Batman-inspired costumes. Kitana gets a Catwoman costume, Baraka is dressed up as Killer Croc, and Noob Saibot moonlights as the Batman Who Laughs. Those who have Early Access will get the new DLC on January 28, and the rest of us must wait until February 4. Spawn will be the next DLC character that gamers can get their hands on. He is set to debut in March. Are you guys enjoying Mortal Kombat 11?
