Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is a 2008 crossover fighting game that pitted Mortal Kombat fighters against DC Comics heroes and villains, with Kitana returning as one of its Mortal Kombat roster members. Her battle cries and screams were lifted from gameplay and shared on soundboards, where short character reactions are easier to reuse than full match audio. Because Kitana remains a recognisable Mortal Kombat figure and the scream is instantly readable as pain or shock, editors still pull it for reaction videos, fighting-game edits, and meme clips long after the original game left the spotlight.
