I would say these 8 characters are a definite:

Raiden
Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Liu Kang (could be repalced with Kung Lao)
Sonya
Johnny Cage
Shang Tsung
Shao Kahn

I think they'll base the MK cast around it's strongest characters and game presences and it's best to look towards the MK1 and MK2 casts for that. Notable exceptions being people like Ermac, Quan Chi and Noob who would also be great in there.

KingJolly I think your MK prediction is reallly accurate! Heres My game prediction...

MK-
Sub-zero
Scorpion
Sonya
Raiden
Shang Tsung
Reptile
Kitana
Kung Lao
Kano
Johnny Cage

DC-
Superman
Batman
Flash
Green Lantern
Joker
Wonder Woman
Cat Woman
Doomsday
Steel
Martian Manhunter

I think My guesses are pretty good. If we are goin for Iconic popular DC Characters. BUT I would love to see Hawkman. Or the JSA badguys who look like giant guarillas. I think visually that would be cool. and it would be a DC mutant to reflect reptile or baraka.

I very strongly doubt that we will see Lex Luthor. He is NOT a fighter. He has people do the fighting for him.

as far as the MK characters go... I Dont think we will see jax.. while he may be MKs most popular black fighter, he is by no means a popular character. I also doubt we will see NOOB. he has been more popular recently but he isnt a staple MK character. If we get 10 of MKs most popular iconic characters I dont think he would make the cut. Dont get me wrong, i really like the character, im just being realistic. Also, I chose to leave out Liu Kang.. simply because even tho he is a VERY classic MK character.. I find him boring, tired and dull.. plus he's a zombie. I just dont want him in the game haha..

i just want mileena in unreal 3 graphics she is or will be fucking amazing, millena owns all mk and dc and always will woot woot

MK Characters:
Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Raiden
Sonya
Kitana
Shang Tsung
Kung Lao
Noob Saibot
Kenshi
Johnny Cage

DC Characters:
Batman
Superman
Wonder Woman
Green Lantern
The Flash
Hawkgirl
Joker
Lex Luthor
Catwoman
Martian Manhunter

Bosses:
Shao Kahn
Darkseid

P.S. I refuse to include Liu Kang...he's done, he's worn out, he's dead (his zombification only made him slightly cooler) long story short, he needs to be retired.

If it's only 20, that's fine by me. A million characters didn't make MKA great. Less characters means more focus on each character, and that is definitely something MK in general could do with work on.

20 confirmed, hopefully quality of quantity this time.

An error in the left does not justify and error in the right. 23 or 24 characters would make more sense for a crossover.

Good bets
Sub-Zero (confirmed)
Scorpion (confirmed)
Raiden
Kitana
Shao Kahn
Shang Tsung
Goro
Liu Kang

50/50
Reptile
Johnny Cage
Sonya
Kung Lao

I can see the last two spots going to any of these.

i knew Liu Kang would be in MK8

If he is, he'd best be a ghost. I hated him as a living person, and despised him as a zombie... but he's pretty cool as a green glowing cloud.

Mortal Kombat:

1. Lui Kang
2. Raiden
3. Sonya
4. Sub-Zero
5. Scorpion
6. Baraka
7. Reptile
8. Kitana
9. Goro
10. Shang Tsung or Shao Kahn
***************************************************************************
DC Universe:

1. Batman
2. Superman
3. Green Lantern
4. Flash
5. Darkseid
6. Joker
7. Wonder Woman
8. Hawkman
9. Martian Manhunter
10. Bane or Doomsday

Cool story would be:

Outworld has come to earth, and the mortal characters are taking an ass woopin, so DC heroes have to step in to help out. Soon they realize that the DC villains are in cahoots with the Outworld MK villains...

Lui Kang, Batman, Superman, Raiden and the gang team up to take on

Shao Kahn, Darkseid, Joker and Shang Tsung.
