Yeah, I'm hoping MMH and Darkseid makes the cut on DC's side

1-superman/kano
2-batman/liu kang
3-wonderwoman/rayden
4-flash/cage
5-green lantern (hal jordan)/scorpion
6-hawkman/sub zero
7-aquaman/sonya
8-firestorm(ronnie raymond)/reptile
9-zatanna/goro
10-plasticman/shang tsung
11-green arrow/kung lao
12-black canary/jax
13-red tornado/kitana
14-geo force /mileena
15-black lightning/baraka
16-katana/smoke
17-cyborg/noob saibot
18- commander steel/jade
19-atom smasher/kintaro
20-starman(jack knight)/shao kahn
21-hourman(rick tyler)/stryker
22-dr fate/cyrax
23-spectre/sektor
24-power girl/kabal
25-firebrand/rain
26-ultra humanite/ermac
27-black adam/kai
28-deathstroke/bo rai cho

I really think that the MK line up will be

Sub Zero
Scorpion
Reptile
Liu Kang
Kung Lao
Shang Tsung
Sonya Blade
Kano
Kitana
Mileena
Raiden
Baraka
Johnny Cage

Boon said that if you think of the most popular and significant characters out of the series then thats who will be in it! These characters are the most significant for me :)

UPDATE:

Mortal Kombat Side:
1. Raiden - 17 picks
2. Sonya - 15 picks
3. Reptile - 15 picks

4. Shang Tsung - 14 picks
5. Shao Khan - 13 picks
6. Kitana - 12 picks
7. Mileena - 12 picks
8. Johnny Cage - 12 picks

9. Quan Chi - 11 picks
10. Noob - 11 picks
11. Kung Lao - 11 picks
12. Lui Kang - 11 picks
13. Sektor - 9 picks
14. Ermac - 9 picks

15. Sub-Zero
16. Scorpion



DC side:
1. Wonder Woman - 16 picks
2. Joker - 13 picks
3. Flash - 12 picks

4. Bane - 11 picks
5. Green Lantern - 11 picks
6. Dark Seid - 9 picks
7. Martian Manhunter - 8 picks

8. Cat Woman - 7 picks
9. Poison Ivy - 7 picks
10. Green Arrow - 6 picks
11. Scarecrow - 5 picks
12. Lex Luthor - 5 picks
13. Night Wing- 5 picks
14. Death Stroke - 5 picks

15. Batman
16. Superman

(using 16 cause of the whole "16 boxes" thing)

I really hope it is 17 and 17. 34 Is a decent number for a roster, a little low for my tastes, but better than the "around 20" X-play said. Anyway, my roster:

MK:
Reptile
Smoke
Kenshi
Motaro
Stryker
Baraka
Raiden
Jax
Sonya
Liu Kang
Shao Kahn
Scorpion
Sub-Zero
Sheeva
Sektor
Kitana
Ermac

DC:
Beast Boy (Please, Please, Please)
Green Lantern
Superman
Batman
Doomsday
Harely Quinn
Catwoman
Gorilla Grodd
Killer Croc
Deathstroke
Black Manta
Animal Man
Scarecrow
Lobo
Crimson Fox
The Joker
The Fallen One

Ideas for the DC side:

Joker
Black Adam
Bane
Darksied
Brainiac
Metallo
Flash
Green Lantern
Wonder Woman
Deathstroke
Captian Cold
Catwoman
Nightwing
Lex Luther (w/ power suit)
Parallex
The Question
Cyborg
Zatanna

Ok, I think there should be 32 characters and Boon said think of the most popular MK characters and DC characters and you pretty much got the roster, so:

MORTAL KOMBAT:
Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Liu Kang
Sonya
Johnny Cage
Raiden
Kung-Lao
Shang Tsung
Reptile
Kitana
Mileena
Jax
Baracka
Kabal
Shao Kahn
Noob Saibot

DC:
Batman
Superman
Catwoman
Lex Luther
Wonder Woman
Robin
Batwoman

thats all i can think of for DC at the mo

I REALLY want to see Mileena, they might need to tone her appearance down because Boon mentioned that the characters chosen had to be "approriate."

This is my list assuming that its 13 and 13 and because of their popularity, we can probably assume that its gonna be:

MORTAL KOMBAT:
Scorpion
Sub Zero
Liu Kang
Raiden
Jax
Kitana
Mileena
Sonya
Baraka
Reptile
Shang Tsung
Quan Chi
LAST: either Kano, Goro or Kung Lao

DC:
Superman
Batman
Flash
Green Lantern
Wonder Woman
The Joker

....actually, I'm just looking forward to the Mortal Kombat characters (after all, I'm a Mortal Kombat fan and I don't know many of the DC characters besides Batman characters)

Poison Ivy would be nice tho..

MK roster for me would be
Lui Kang
Johny Cage
Kitana
Shang Shung (sp? i never spell his name right)
Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Kano
Raiden
Sony
Khan or Goro

and DC would be

Green Lantern (i need my Hal Jordan)
Batman
Superman
Joker
Wonder Woman
Flash
Two Face
Solomon Grundy
Doomsday
Lex Luthor

He said appropriate? I hope they aint toning down MK tooo much.

The One Being/Imperiex

Lol, that was the first time I've ever watched the channel, much less the show. I was just peeping some Gaming shows for MK vs DC info....I was also hoping for some MKvsDC on the Spike Tv gaming show....they didn't say nothing.

I think we all should just expect 20 characters right now, that way we wont risk disapointment. I remeber I was expecting very little charcters for mario kart wii and ended up getting 24! Very huge roster number for a game who used to have a roster of just eight.

good call. I was expecting fourty characters in SSBB. we got 39 (technically) so I was very very very disapointed lol

But yeah, we shouldn't expect too many chars. And I was psyched when I heard that there are gonna be 24 (is this including the Mii?) in MKW

25 including mii. We got some odd people in the roster for mario kart wii, funky kong, dry bowser. Very odd, but i'm glad they put princess rosalina in! Anyway, I remeber nintendo said there would be 50 characters for super mario baseball and all we got was 32!

When i heard Funky Kong was in I literally started rofl

I'm so mad we got him instead of Dixie Kong, she's been in three other mario games, how is they going to ditch her for Funky?

In no particular order...

Keep in mind these aren't my favorite charachters, but i'm just going by MK's signature characters.

1. Sub-Zero
2. Scorpion
3. Sonya
4. Cage
5. Kitana
6. Kung Lao
7. Raiden
8. Cyrax
9. Jax
10. Shang Tsung
11. Kano
12. Lui Kang (I really hope he's dead after this game, but if we're going for signature characters, he probably should be included...)
13. Baraka
14. Mileena
15. Quan Chi
16. Shao Kahn
17. Goro

My list doesn't feel "right"....
-Somehow I don't think they'll include all four of Shang/Quan Chi/Kahn/Goro
-Reptile should probably replace one of the above bosses
-Boon said you could probably guess 90% of the roster, so i'm thinking maybe they are going to include a few "obscure" characters like Sindel/Kabal/Jade.
-I noticed that I didn't include any characters from MK:DA to Armageddon so expect to see at least one of Bo Rai Cho/Kenshi/Li Mei in the cast.

DC Universe...

I have NO knowledge of the universe so....
1. Superman
2. Batman
3. Catwoman
4. Poison Ivy
5. Wonder Woman
6. Joker
7. Mr. Freeze
8. Robin?

As you can see I'm only semi-familiar with the Batman characters. I'm sure there are some other good chars. to choose from.

Hey, Funky Kong > Dixie Kong. I owe Funky Kong after saving my ass in Donkey Kong Country.

Ed Boon revealed there will only be 20 characters total.
