[edit] Protection

I think we need to protect this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KCMraz (talk • contribs) 01:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I concur. People are continually posting unconfirmed characters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.209.48 (talk) 09:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Idiots protected the wrong version. Only Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Superman and Batman are confirmed characters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.209.48 (talk) 10:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Too bad, you should have thought about that before you got involved in an edit war. I'm the idiot that protected it for two weeks. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 10:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
You're right. You are the idiot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.209.48 (talk) 10:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Don't try and sweet talk me. Protected in the wrong version because you were involved in an edit war and I'm an idiot? CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 10:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes. You are. Congrats on that thrilling moment of self-realization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.209.48 (talk) 10:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for protecting this in the CORRECT version. Many apologies for childlike behavior between myself and the CONFIRMED moron. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.126.179.116 (talk) 10:28, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Cut out the personal attacks and read The Wrong Version. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 10:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
You got it. No more personal attacks. However you did protect the CORRECT version. There isn't really anything to gain by filling the article with 'wrong information'. Thank you again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.126.179.116 (talk) 10:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Where's proof of all of these characters being confirmed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nintendonly (talk • contribs) 20:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I would also like to know why this page was locked with no sources to back it up.

The current protected version has unconfirmed characters!! --KCMraz (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Apparently, Poison Ivy, Sindel, Mileena, Catwoman, and Shang Tsung are confirmed characters. I saw them listed on this one online video interview with Ed Boon, about the game.72.129.226.113 (talk) 18:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Link? If the interview is online, we can update the article to include them. EVula // talk // ☯ // 18:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Alrighty then. Here's what I'm talking about. http://www.gamereactor.dk/grtv/?id=228572.129.226.113 (talk) 00:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

What you are doing is original research. Its not allowed dont add them to the list.

[edit] Most Recent Edits

Whoever decided to rewrite this article should have done us all a favor and not bothered. The writing is atrocious and is devoid of any references. Someone - with more time than myself - please rewrite this article or revert it to what it was prior. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.183.212.228 (talk) 13:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Storyline?

Didn't Ed Boon state somewhere that the current storyline was finished and that MK8 was going to have a brand-new storyline with completely different characters? --71.199.77.215 01:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Where did you hear that? Mkrox (talk) 07:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC) I don't see single confirmation about the VS DC tidbit. (Resiak)

Well, this isn't actually MK8. 71.7.106.244 (talk) 23:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Boon said that when they were working on Armageddon. He said Armageddon would be the last game of this storyline, and that MK8 would start off with a brand new storyline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.17.179.2 (talk) 02:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Whoever wrote this article mispelled mysterious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.60.227.153 (talk) 18:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

- Hello there! I have been in the midway boards (official boards of the game) for 3 years, know a lot about mortal kombat and I'll say this : Ed Boon didn't told anyone what the story was about, how it would be, it remains a mystery for now! Stop playing with wikipedia guys! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.22.37.39 (talk) 14:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wii version

Can anyone confirm this? Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 06:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

All the major game sites have MK8 under a Wii page, but the last update from the MK team only discussed the confirmation of the PS3 and 360, also unconfirming the PC version. Even if the game sites knew something we didn't, there's no confirmation yet. --Kombat Krave 23:21, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

- Hi again! Ed Boon said that Unreal Engine (modified) doesn't work for the Wii so probably Mortal Kombat 8 won't come out for Wii! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.22.37.39 (talk) 14:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RABBLE! RABBLE! RABBLE!

Reading this article yesterday, information was to be delivered regarding a notice on that was delivered April 17th. Now i read this morning what the information was and how it was regarding MK8. Yet now when i look, not only has the relevant information been deleted but there is absolutely no shit whatsoever on Boon's notice on his website. Somebody, somewhere explain to me what the hell this is about! This is a load a shit, the people deserve to know whats going on with the game release! And don't try telling me it was 'Vandelism' cause thats another load a shit Rupert 59 (talk) 04:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cut-and-paste move

Because Ed Boon revealed that title for MK8 today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GregFK2 (talk • contribs)

Did you read the template ? - Master Bigode from SRK.o//(Talk) (Contribs) 02:19, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Well I saw a trailer about the title and midway said Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is really happening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GregFK2 (talk • contribs)

That's not the point. This article is a copy-and-paste of the Mortal Kombat 8 article, which is not how moving an article to a new title should be done. The speedy deletion notice is there to merge the histories of that article and this one. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 09:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Mokap removed from character section, fabrication.


[edit] When was Liu Kang confirmed?

He's been added to the characters section but I don't see any sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.118.238.102 (talk • contribs)

A number of characters have been added to the characters section without any sources. Anyone know anything about this? Any confirmation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.12.28.249 (talk) 10:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MK vs DCU for the Wii

Source Don't have time to cite it properly in the article, but it's still a good source. EVula // talk // ☯ // 00:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not Characters

Take off everyone who isn't Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Batman and Superman. They are not confirmed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.49.14.26 (talk) 12:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

- Hi! Sorry to be such a posty guy but this man knows what he's talking about! Ed Boon (the producer of the game) only confirmed:

Scorpion and Sub-zero from Mortal kombat universe

Batman and superman from DC universe!

Forgot the source... http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/News/read.cds?article=1049 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.22.37.39 (talk) 14:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't remember Ed Boon confirming more then four characters at this time. I heard he's trying to push for the 22 character mark but thats it. The only known characters are Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Batman and Superman. Does anyone have confirmation of these other characters are actually in it? FaithLehaneTheVampireSlayer 19:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

That's because he didn't. Someone needs to hurry up and fix this. Now-like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.62.138.73 (talk) 19:33, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

This is what I thought. Yeah, only Batman, Superman, Sub-Zero and Scorpion are confirmed. Everything else is speculation. The fact that the poster is claiming to be a Midway employee makes his information even more suspect.206.12.28.249 (talk) 22:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unprotect

We need to erase the unconfirmed characters. Erase it and then ask for semi-protection. --KCMraz (talk) 01:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

What particular change do you want? The {{editprotected}} template is to ask for specific changes. If you want the page to be unprotected, I'd recommend talking to the protecting admin - User:CambridgeBayWeather in this case. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 02:28, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
A reversion to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mortal_Kombat_vs._DC_Universe&oldid=210535605 would work.206.12.28.249 (talk) 03:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I've stripped the character lists to just Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Batman, and Superman. EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


Thanks, that was wat I mean. --KCMraz (talk) 05:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes thanks EVula for the edit. FaithLehaneTheVampireSlayer 19:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] posting for LeoTMNT

Based from this [1] Charcters such as Tim Drake/Robin, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Black Canary, and Powergirl are also playabul. --LeoTMNT 22:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

We need a more reliable source; that basically cites a webboard posting, which isn't necessarily reliable. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] exclusive character

is there any word on exclusive playable character(s).--Lbrun12415 15:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
