Fans have taken to social media to voice their disapproval of the Joker design in Mortal Kombat 11, going as far to call out the Clown Prince of Crime’s look for being too similar to a porn parody.
Yesterday, NetherRealm Studios unveiled the full line-up of its first Kombat Pack for Mortal Kombat 11. While the roster included several iconic characters such as Spawn and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 from Terminator, it was Mortal Kombat 11‘s incarnation of the Joker that seems to be creating a sensation on social media.
Unfortunately, the reactions to the Joker design for Mortal Kombat 11 have been less-than-positive as many have taken to Twitter to slam the character’s new look, with one fan even comparing this incarnation of the villain to a porn parody version from a video called Katwoman XXX. Nevertheless, Mortal Kombat 11 director Ed Boon assured fans this version of the Joker will be “vicious” on his official Twitter account.
