Batman and Superman are already a given in Midway's upcoming crossover fighting game. The makers of the game have said the roster will likely be about 20-22, an equal number on both sides (10 or 11).
All that said, who do you think will be likely to appear on the DC side of the roster?
Obviously, I'm only including Super Heroes on this list, although it occurs to me that villains may appear too. For the purpose of this thread, stick to heroes for now.

Obviously, the three at the top.

Wow, DC Heroes suck. I havn't even heard of the last five.
Maybe Robin, does DC still give a shit about Lobo? He was cool.

I voted for The Green Arrow. I've always liked him since I feel he is one of the most interesting super heroes in terms of personality since he seemed to get the plight of the people he was saving. I mean Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman can't really identify with the common man but Oliver Queen can. Plus his arrow attacks would make a lot of sense in a mortal kombat game.

The last five are all current members of the Justice League, which is why I included them. Admittedly, I only went with heroes who have been in the JL at some point or another. But hey, that's what 'Other' is for. Word has it that characters will be chosen as compliments to one another. I could certainly see Black Lightning as a compliment to Raiden. |

He beats people up for fun. Batman rules (except when Morrison writes him). Green Arrow shoots people with arrows, and that never gets old. On topic, I'm betting Green Arrow gets in, for sure. And I'm hoping that Mr. Terrific gets in, even though he won't, because no one cares about Mr. Terrific except me. |

I've heard Villains will be in, too. I'm gonna guess this'll be DC's roster
1 - Batman
2 - Superman
3 - Flash
4 - Wonder Woman
5 - Green Lantern
6 - Killer Croc
7 - Mr. Freeze
8 - Doomsday
9 - Catwoman
10 - Joker

my current favorite super hero is allan scott but I don't think they'll put him on there. I'd also like to see the question as well but that goes in the no chance catagory.
but one hero who is somewhat obscure (to mainstream fans) is lobo who I definitely think will be in the game, and if not he really should!

The better question, what will their fatalities be? I call for Batmans being when he drops the batmobile on top of his opponent. Ala that dude from Killer Instinct.

There will be fatalities, just not the over the top ultra violent ones from past games. They're shooting for a T for Teen rating, you see. Part of DC's rules, it seems.
Ed Boon still promises the game will be dark, gritty, and gory. If I want over the top, I still own MK Armageddon.

This is the first I've heard of this game. It's a pretty cool idea.
I guessed Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Hawkman, but I really don't have a clue.

The better question is who can they get the rights for. Because Wonder Woman has some really weird rights issues, Black Lightning needs permission from his creator, and there are major problems related to anyone who has been in a film recently, or even in production, and the Licensing division prefers not to be promiscous with it's characters. Although, Video Game Licenses seem to be different from film and television ones.

AND YA BETTER RESPECT ME OR IT'S YER FRAGGIN' ASS THAT'LL BE FRAGGED, SLAGGED, AND BAGGED, MAGGIT!" ;D Lobo is just too outrageous, and such a blatant parody, that like Deadpool, he's just impossible for ME not to love. Other folks' mileage may vary. |

For those who had been wondering, over the past few years Lobo has had a semi-consistent role in the DCU, most notably his time in the comic series '52'.
