The funny thing is, this popped up as a rumor before the game dropped several months ago. I remember reading it on the official website forums and laughing my ass off.
Now that it's a reality and I've seen the Freddy Krueger Trailer, I'm both excited and somewhat let down at the same time.
It's Freddy, but they went with the 2010 version instead of the legendary Robert Englund from the original, 1984 version. So, at least if the trailer is any indication, he's the more serious version.
One of the things that made Freddy unique in the original series of films was his twisted sense of humor and memorable quotes. The humor's there, but he really doesn't say much in the trailer. I really hope they've done a lot more with the character than we've seen.
Freddy's moveset really doesn't look all that exciting. His X-Ray attack is very generic, much like Mileena's was before NetherRealm Studios tweaked it months prior to release.
His fatalities(at least the two seen in the trailer) are well-done nods to the film series. I kind of wish NRS had not spoiled them, but we still have his ending to look forward to.
A 'Freddy vs. Jason' dream match could always happen down the line, that'd be fun.
What do you think? Are you happy with Freddy as DLC, or were you hoping for someone from the MK universe like Tanya?
