INJUSTICE Producer Rick Morales Confident Fans Of MORTAL KOMBAT Will Love The Animated Movie (Exclusive)

Talking to us about Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms, producer Rick Morales reveals why fans should be excited for the upcoming DC Animated Universe adaptation of Injustice. Check it out...

Last month, we learned that Warner Bros. Animation will release an Injustice movie this Fall. Inspired by NetherRealm's hit video game Injustice: Gods Among Us and Tom Taylor's "Year One" comic book spinoff, it's fair to say that there's a lot of excitement among fans to see how this story plays out.

There's a great creative team working on the project, and one of the masterminds behind it, Rick Morales, also produced Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge and the upcoming Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms (which arrives August 31 on 4K/Blu-ray & Digital). 

When we had Rick on the phone yesterday, we had to ask him if there was anything he could tease about Injustice, and whether it was exciting to go from one NetherRealm project to the next.

"Yeah! Absolutely," he laughed. "I think, for me, it made a lot of sense because they're both NetherRealm projects and it shares a commonality with Mortal Kombat. I think if you like some of the violence in Mortal Kombat, you'll be pleased with Injustice. How about that? [Laughs]"

That's definitely a good tease, and one that has us hopeful Injustice will boast an R-Rating. Keep checking back here as we'll share our full chat with Rick, and writer Jeremy Adams, very soon.

@dracula - Probably less of a chance do to both games sticking to continuity based story modes and timelines, but at least we get the occasional crossover DLC character like Joker in MK or Subzero in Injustice.

Long Halloween Part 2 was R and it really didn’t need to be. Blood was at a minimum and they had one [frick]

I do like the NetherRealm games and the Mortal Kombat animated movie, so this is welcome news. Look forward to both really (and also secretly to a MK vs DC movie).

Scorpion's Revenge was really good and this new one looks great. Not thrilled about more evil superheroes, but WB/DC animation is 3x better than anything they put out live action, sadly. So, I'll give it a shot as well.

It's too bad they aren't getting the game voice actors for this.
