Scorpion and Raiden appeared as crossover characters in Injustice and Injustice 2, neither featuring any graphic fatalities. Despite this, there have been inclusions of Mortal Kombat characters in DC media. Since then, the franchise has returned to and maintained a Mature rating. This obviously drew the ire of hardcore Mortal Kombat fans, who saw the changes as unnecessary accommodations for an incompatible franchise. This and other changes made it the only game in the Mortal Kombat series to be rated Teen. While the UK version showed this shot from a distance, the game's release in the US censored it by panning away from the victim. The Joker and Deathstroke's fatalities involved them shooting their opponents in the head. Even still, two of the game's finishing moves were notably neutered in some regions. This meant toning down the franchise's trademark fatalities, with many of the more violent varieties being excised completely. While The Joker, Deathstroke, and arguably even Batman himself, could easily be slotted into the dark world of the Mortal Kombat universe, characters such as Superman, Green Lantern, and especially Captain Marvel were way out of place. DC Universe, however, raised eyebrows for how censored it was! Much of this lies in its problematic premise. Most Mortal Kombat games are controversial for their gratuitous and gory gameplay.

The magic inherent to the Mortal Kombat universe is the fighting game logic behind the Kombatants being able to keep up with heroes like Superman, who himself is vulnerable to magic. This also creates a 'Kombat Rage' that courses throughout the fighters. The larger story saw the DC and Mortal Kombat universes colliding, also fusing respecting villains Darkseid and Shao Kahn. The Joker's plot in the game's Story Mode sees him partnering with Teen Titans villain, Deathstroke the Terminator.
