Viewing Notes

Had forgotten about this until the other day when I stumbled on it again. I remember when this was created and released basically as this proof of concept of a new MK story, a dark and gritty version (probably off the sails of Nolan’s Dark Knight at the time). Interesting to view now but I guess they did make a series that I also forgot about and haven’t seen. Will have to track that down as I am curious how the story played out in this new format.
