DC Vs. Marvel Vs. Capcom Considered?

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to this interview with Chris Jelinek of Capcom, done by the unofficial SNK-Capcom.com site while they were at E3. The confirmed news in this article seems to be that the 3D Capcom Fighting All-Stars has been cancelled (although we never get a direct quote from Jelinek himself about it), but after much poking and prodding from the interviewer, Mr.Jelinek also mentions that they're considering a 'Vs. Vs' title, and gives the possible example of "Take, in theory, Batman vs. Spiderman.." So, DC. Vs. Marvel Vs. Capcom? With this blatant rumor, the stage is set for either rejoicing amongst Capcom fighting game fanboys, or derision amongst those fed up with Capcom recycling Street Fighter II for 10 years or more.

Have you seen how long it's taken DC and Marvel to get JLA/Avengers out? Granted, Marvel/DC relations have improved measureably over the last few years. But, conflicts between Marvel and DC heroes have carefully considered and negotiated outcomes and neither side will ever agree to something where they can't control the end. Do you think DC will ever agree to allow a situation where Spider-Man can beat the stuffing out of Superman repeatedly? I'll wager my life savings that this is idle speculation and market realities will derail it in no time.
