Midway Games’ latest installment in the long running Mortal Kombat fighting series, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (MK Vs. DC), will pit characters from the two franchises against each other when it launches on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in November 2008.

To celebrate the game’s launch, Midway will be releasing a special “Kollector’s Edition” of MK Vs. DC in North America next month. It will feature hand-painted box artwork by respected comic book artist Alex Ross, a removable print by Ross and bonus video content.

While all of the Mortal Kombat characters and DC villains will have access to the series’ trademark “fatalities” (powerful finishing moves), the goody two-shoes DC heroes will have their fatalities replaced by “brutalities”  which are equally powerful but less death-inducing finishing moves.

If you can bare to take a moment from fantasizing about knocking the living daylights out of Sub-Zero with the Dark Knight’s almighty fists, you might want to check out the following video, which details the creative process implemented by Alex Ross when designing the Kollector’s Edition box art.
