As I am sure you are aware Midway came out with a game for PS3 called MK vs. DC in which Mortal Kombatants squared off against some of the best in the DC universe. Congratulations on being selected as one of the fighters. </font></i></tt></p> <p align="left"><tt><i><font face="Arial"> What I'd like to know is how you feel about your portrayal? Do you feel Midway represented you better or worse than the Gotham Post? Also is there any character among the playable options you feel you'd like to take a (whip) crack at?<br> <br> A long time fan<br> Oracle_Thunder <br>  </font></i></tt></p> <p align="left"><font face="Arial" color="#CC99FF"><img border="0" src="a.jpg" align="left" width="60" height="60"><br> </font><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#CC99FF">Hello Oracle_Thunder ,<br> You clearly know how to approach a cat. I think that is pretty awesome too.

I am, of course, pleased to have my fighting abilities recognized.  It is no mean feat holding your own against Batman, and while I do admittedly have other means to put him off his game, a naughty grin alone won't get you far against the best martial artist in the world.  So yes, it is certainly "an honor to be nominated," as they say.</font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#CC99FF">I will tell you that Tim and Cass do not feel Mortal Kombat compares well, on the whole, to the games Bruce gets them in Tokyo. I must say, having just seen this Final Fantasy version of the Jokeresque evil clown Kefka...</font></p> <p align="center">This content is not available in noframes view</p> <p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#CC99FF">...I am quite sure he’d approve. <br> <br> But you were asking about me. It appears that these Midway folks made the supreme mistake of talking to the Post rather than those who know me, because they committed the two great sins: they have me classified as one who would kill my opponent, and anyone who knows the first thing about Catwoman knows that I do not kill. They also have me pictured in those hideous goggles, which are an insult to all things Cat. (Can you believe they are actually based on the aviator goggles worn by SNOOPY THE DOG? Oh yeah, that’s feline.  Pfft!)  </font></p> <p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#CC99FF">They did get the color right: the awful zip up biker-chick get-up is at least purple. And I do appear to be appropriately lacking in complexity.
