Around 40 characters combined would give us a nice cross section of the DCU.
Twenty DC characters would be enough to get the heavy hitters from the Justice League and Teen Titans, as well as some supporting characters and villains.
Off the top of my head, twenty characters could get you Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Robin, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy, Nightwing, Catwoman, Supergirl, Artemis, Hawkman, Lex Luthor, Mongul, Cheetah, Gorilla Grodd, and the Joker.
Especially with the 616 Spider-Man game on the horizon, too. Before you know it, we'll have a successful and well-written Star Trek franchise on the air again.
Video Interview with Ed Boon wherein he tries to explain the batshit crazy storyline the game follows and also how anyone could possibly fight Superman (it's magic!).
Superman isn't fucking weak against magic.
IF THOR CAN'T EVEN BEAT SUPERMAN WITH MAGIC MAGIC HAMMER, HIS MAGIC MAGIC SUPER STRENGTH, AND MAGIC MAGIC ELECTRICITY, NO ONE CAN. PERIOD. SORRY SHANG TSUNG, RAIDEN. YOU CAN'T.
God, I hate Superman.
Thor can beat Superman.
And actually, Superman's not WEAK to Magic in the sense that, say, a Charizard is weak to a Water-attack. He's "weak" to it in the sense that he has no "super" defenses against it. Hit him with a magic blast and it'll hit just as hard as if he were a normal human.
Also, what the fuck is with this magic bullshit all of a sudden?
"Outworld has a red sun".
Bam.
Problem solved.
"Batman is like the DC counterpart of Sub Zero."
What the fuck? Where do you get this from?
I...what
Boon says it in the interview.
More random stuff that doesn't make any sense.

So what are the chances that the actual mechanics behind the game aren't going to be junk like every other mortal kombat game ever?
also, I think my brain is leaking out of my nose.
Yeah the mechanics are kinda what hold mortal kombat back. More forgivable in 1995, but I played soul calibur and there is no going back. When is the last time an American developer made a decent fighter? Seriously, who is going to stand up for the US of A.
So, how big a roster are we looking at here? I'm assuming a 1:1 ratio between MK and DC characters.
In the last MK game, they tried to cram every single MK character ever into it and I think it topped out with 60-something characters.
Do you think they'll try to cover their gameplay flaws with a huge amazing roster again, or tone it down to like 10 or each and actually try to fine tune it?
Being Midway, I'm leaning towards the former. Actually, I'm kind of hoping for that as well. It's gameplay is going to be trashed anyways by virtue of being MK (whether those people play it or not), so might as well go with a WhoaOMG roster. Besides, 30+ DC characters increases Cassandra Cain's odds of making the cut.
Armageddon was a sendoff to the series in preparation for a "reboot" so to speak. Sticking every single MK fighter ever in there was a fan-service more than anything else. The MK roster is to be culled, majorly so, and only the most popular characters are going to make the cut. The new game is to feature an entirely new fighting engine, as well.
Hey, V's a DC character isn't he, at least technically?
Or dream...
The idea of the Sandman in a fighting game is simultaneously awesome and horrifying, because he'd end up with a QCF-Punch "Sand Breath" attack. Of course, summoning his big sister for a Fatality is just too perfect.

But make it so the DC characters get different animations, like Scorpion's flame breath of death merely burns the recipient...and Kano's (or his current generation replacement, whoever he may be) heart rip is replaced by...
...an appendix removal, thanks Kano!

Kano's heart extraction is replaced by a Kryptonite insertion.
I want Superman's finisher to be him reeling his arm back for his most powerful punch ever, but when he goes forward he stops an inch from the opponents face, flicks his finger, and sends them into the distance.

I'm shocked that sub zero is almost recognisable in the image/trailer, he doesn't have a ridiculous crown or Shredder outfit or anything. They've altered the character designs so much over the years that with the last few games I'll be looking at an image and it won't be until I read a caption or description that I realise that it's actually meant to be Reptile or Smoke.
It's a bad sign for their artists when the palette swaps of old look better in comparison.

I actually liked Ermac's belt head design, and Scorpion has barely ever changed. But yeah, Sub-Zero's alternate costume in Deception was bad, the one with the white pony tail.

Ah well. It's a nice wish. They're about the only DC characters I have any connection with.
Twenty DC characters would be enough to get the heavy hitters from the Justice League and Teen Titans, as well as some supporting characters and villains.

That's okay, you still have Escape from Bug Island to cry over.
See I told you. There was no way DC would let their characters get ripped apart, as utterly cool as it would be.

Wonder Woman with fighting game tit physics. Especially those ridicolous ones MK Deadly Alliance used.

It ain't far off.
to push buttons and make stuff happen on screen.
Who the hell buys Mortal Kombat for that?
This is NON-FATAL KOMBAT
I just think the privilige of intentional misspelling is reserved for those who are X-Treme. Fighting without fatalities and blood is NOT X-Treme.
I guess they could still have fatalities.

In a civil manner.
It will be called Civil Combat. You will have to cill ten characters before reaching the final boss, Cahn.

It would be awesome if I could use civilians as meatshields.
Or, you know, Phantom Zone.
