Mortal Kombat 9 Sells Over a Million Copies

It didn’t take long for the new Mortal Kombat game to reach the potential that NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. had been aiming for.

According to April sales reports listed on GiantBomb.com, the newest MK game sold over 900,000 copies, and crushed competition from Portal 2 and several other games released in the same month. Couple this with Ed Boon’s tweet that sales of the Kollector’s Edition and Tournament Edition actually put overall sales totals at over 1 million, and you’ve got a complete Fatality of records for only being out less than a month. Kongratulations!





NBC Will Not Air Wonder Woman

I really tried to get excited about Wonder Woman. David E Kelley didn’t exactly have a lot of credentials for Superhero shows, but at least he knew how to write shows with female leads.

Entertainment Weekly reports that Adrianne Palicki will not appear on TV as Diana Prince or Wonder Woman. Apparently the big problem wasn’t so much the costume (which fans derided) but Kelley’s script that didn’t have enough action and test audiences reported mixed reviews.

So what will happen now? Warner Bros TV might try to shop the show around, they do own several cable outlets and have a stake in the CW. For that matter, the CW might take the show they previously passed on since Smallville’s final episode airs tonight.

The short history of Wonder Woman can be followed here:
Adrianne Palicki Cast As Wonder Woman on February 16
TV’s Wonder Woman Costume, Logo, and Villain on March 18
Wonder Woman Set Pictures, The Costume Has Changed! on March 30
From casting to cancelled in less than 3 months!
