Personally I think this should be easier to get done then a DC vs Marvel comic book,since it becomes an inherentely fair situation being that they only need to create the game with even equivalent characters and don't have to make anyone actually win a fight.
Will they ever make a Marvel VS DC video game?
" it would be sweet. i actually found a video on youtube of a japanese video game. it had Wonder Woman fighting Thor. it looked pretty sweet but i have no idea what the heck it was. "I think it was a fan mod.
A Marvel vs DC game would be great. There should be a "balance" meter for fights like Superman vs Spider-Man - but no meter for Superman vs Silver Surfer. Like different leagues or something. That would be pretty cool in my opinion.
My inner fanboy would lose his head if the heavyweights were nerfed to the level of the streetfighters.

no, actually its not. your talking about rival companies with legal red tape here. im not just talking about WB and Disney either, but the respective video game companies that each hold the current rights to make each individual franchises games.
pretty much as others have said, any superhero game that has come out has already been fanmodded to include both worlds anyways, and thats free to download. be it MVC2, MUA, or any other game thinkable.
even wrestling ones. the upcoming DC Online game will be moddable. Im sure someone will whip out 3dsmax and make Spider-Man for it.
It's called MUGEN and it's more of a fighting game engine than a regular fighting game. You can download characters (they're practically all over the Net) from just about anywhere. Comics, movies, games, anime, you name it." it would be sweet. i actually found a video on youtube of a japanese video game. it had Wonder Woman fighting Thor. it looked pretty sweet but i have no idea what the heck it was.

And i got this great blog (not mine) with videos of various comic character fights (i think i saw WW fight Samara from The Ring the other day)

If they're smart enough they would..But I highly doubt that ever happening, uness both Marvel and DC both realize how much money they could actually make on it which im guessing would be a lot, but that probably wont happen after "The Avenger" and "Justice League" movies come out.
Sure, i'll help you get started" @123422: hmmmm....intriguing....i will have to look this up. "
here's the game engine:
http://mugen.en.softonic.com/
my favorite character sites:
www.cvgunited.com (the character database is massive)
www.scruffydragon.com
I'm working on a Marvel VS DC project myself, got around 160 characters in my roster (got some non-DCvM though, like Snake-eyes and Duke Nukem, but just 5-6)
" This would be awesome, but it'd have to be like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 (preferably done by the same company). "That's a great idea, wonder what'll happen when Cap, Supes, Bats and Iron Man teams up (the universe explodes of awesome)
but i guess the fighting game is kinda more plausible

yeah, i downloaded WinMugen. i found a badass DC Vs. Marvel screenpack, but i couldnt get it to work right. so i found another decent one and am now currently trying to find more characters and stages. so far i got Batman, Green Arrow and Ash from Evil Dead!
" @123422 said:Haven't used a screenpack myself, kinda hard to do with already 100+ characters." @GothamBat said:yeah, i downloaded WinMugen. i found a badass DC Vs.

But it does look great, and Ash is a pretty good character, but he can use more animations IMO
" @123422: yeah, i imagine so. its taken pretty much all day, but i think i'm finally getting the hang of it all. and those sites you suggested are great. "Those 2 are just examples, but at least they got databases and the WIPs are great.
I even found a Japanese site with a "What if Iron Man was a japanese businessman?" character (the link is in CVG's char database).
" I'd be cool if they ever did, but would it be the MK or Street fighter engine? "SF would be better, suits the slightly more cartoonish style, opposed to MK's realistic digitized style (they made it with real actors)
Or, if you wanna take it up a notch, make it with the Tekken 6 engine, HD glory baby!
Mugen is cool but it doesn't count. I don't get it are they afraid of each other they did it in the comics why not a game?!
If they made a marvel vs dc game. I don't want it to be a fighting game. It should be like the first Ultimate alliance or Arkham city except you could control multiple heroes at the same time and the plot should end with the two worlds working together.
Then I could make a team of superman, thor and marvel and that would make it all worth it. Especially if you can combine special abilities.
No, because then the two companies would have to share the profits. They wouldn't make as much with just another one company game.
No. Isn't there bad blood between the DC head and the Marvel head? Or is that just a rumour?
They are the biggest comic book companies so there is definitely a rivalry, but we don't think (maybe some do) that it goes to the extent of DC hiring assassins to take out Stan Lee because he's got too much power

Once again they've teamed up before. So the only excuse for not doing it now is that they're afraid of how the fans will react.
@voodoopenguin how could this possibly effect their millions of already earned dollars?

@mrmiracle77: I've come from the future to bring good news sir... That you're probably already aware of...
Dont get me wrong I'd loved to see this, but I want something different.I dont know something else besides a fighting game, but it its 2014 and this still hasn't happened so..
I'll be the one of the first ones to pre-order a Marvel vs DC only if they have my favorite characters:
Marvel: Gambit, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm, Venom, Carnage, Shocker, Hobgoblin, Kraven the Hunter, Rogue and Jean Gray.
DC: Nightwing, Red Robin, Redhood, Bane, Volcana, Maxima, Lobo, Lashina & Live Wire.
@ultragreenboy: what u said backs my point for ther never being a Marvel vs DC vg. Because of Marvel. Marvel is doing so well right now a rival studio made a Lego Marvel game simply because they new the profit would be steller. DC would love a cross over vg. Its Marvel that would ruin it. A Marvel vs DC vg would help DC out big time. And Marvel is not gonna let their current world domination help further DC in anyway. And lets face it. The little boost Marvel would get from it is really not needed.

Warners have made movies, animated series with Marvel properties before, it's not new.
@darkningdawn: @rustyroy: I do think it would be bada** tho. If they did ever do it who would be the best line up from DC/Marvel. Lets say 34 characters total. 15 from each studio plus 2 bonus/unlockable characters from each. the bonus ones could be anything from Anti-monitor to Squrill Girl.
My DC 15: Batman, Superman, WW, Flash, GL, MM, Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Deathstroke, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Etrigan, The Question, Solomon Grundy, Darkseid. Bonus: Shazam, Cyborg. Marvel 15: Thor, Cap, IM, Hulk, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Star-lord, Black Bolt, Black Widow, Vision, Quick Silver, Scarllet Witch, Hawkeye, Doctor Strange, Spider-man. Bonus: Rocket, Wolverine
This game should have been made like 15yrs ago back when arcades where still around where people would actually go to slap their quarters down on the board and be like "I got next". It'll probably never happen at this point, but CAPCOM should've made this game if it was going to be a fighter coin-op. I think their cartoony animated style works better for a fighter involving ridiculous powered comicbook fighters/characters.....imho
