Games
The Joker and Deathstroke both have Fatalities in which they shoot their opponent in the head with a pistol. Since Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was destined to be rated "T for Teen", the ESRB would have none of this, despite that the same game features Jax shooting opponents to death with a machine gun, and The Joker and Deathstroke having non-fatal headshot moves at their disposal. Thus, the camera pans away from the opponent as the shot is fired in both characters' finishers in the North American versions of the game. The PAL versions, however, remain intact.
Deathstroke
While the Joker himself could not return in the series M-Rated follow up to MK vs DC, his infamously censored Fatality (Bang, Bang) did. Referred to as "a trick he picked up from previous opponents", Shang Tsung can morph into a very Joker-like clown and recreate the comedic execution verbatim, complete with win pose.
