Which green lantern lantern will they go with? I going to guess both and one will be palate swap of the other for when two people pick the same character.

Bah! I was wrong. Hal jordan has been confirmed as the Green Lantern
Here is the Joker:

Also:
- Next up was the traditional Comic-Con Q&A. Interesting tidbits included:
- A kid asked about Doomsday being in the game as the final boss. The panel said that they couldn't speak to Doomsday specifically but would be announcing the final boss in the coming months.
- Two folks in a row asked if the Teen rating was holding the game back. Boon said that they made concessions, but they're happy with pushing the limits that that rating entails.
- No Babalities. Focusing on fighting and story mode.
- Toasty-guy could possibly be in the game.
- Boon did the most subdued "Get over here" I've ever heard.
- They're not doing platform specific characters -- it would've pissed people off and it would've hindered the story.
- They're looking into DLC.
- No environmental Fatalities like the old school spike death.
- Smoke's "probably not" in the game.
- Different, unlockable costumes? Boon says there'll be differences so Batman vs. Batman doesn't feature too exact clones, but they're still looking into the different ideas.
- If fans demand it, a MK comic book series could happen. However, there aren't plans right now.
- Extra content -- stuff like the commercials, etc. -- will be in the game.
- Cutscenes? Boon says "absolutely."
- The game is broken into character-specific chapters. You'll play as the Flash for a while, meet Batman, and eventually switch to the Batman chapter.
- A slideshow running during the Q&A featured concept art of the Fortress of Solitude as well as screens of Captain Marvel calling lightning bolts down on his opponent.
- A guy begged for Aquaman to be in the game and be badass. Just about everyone laughed at this thought.
- Create-A-Fighter not in.
- Mortal Kombat vs. Marvel? "It's not in the planning."
- The game's not coming to the PS2 or Wii, people. Get over it.
- They'd like to do MK vs. Street Fighter, but there's a lot of legal stuff there, and just who would make the game?
- A woman stepped up to the mic to say she was here to represent the female Mortal Kombat fans. Someone booed her. You have to love Comic-Con. Anyway, she asked how they created a story that dealt with two universes that were so different. Palmiotti said the biggest thing was crafting a story that made sense. He thinks they have it, but can't talk too much about it.
- No in-game weapons.
- There are no plans to bring MK back to the arcades, but there's going to be a strong online component. There will be a chat room-like gathering place to challenge folks and here about match results. There will be leaderboards.
- The DC idea was presented to the MK team by its marketing department.
- Boon says they got the DC characters they wanted -- recognizable faces. No Krypto, Bat-Mite, or Mr. Mxyzptlk.

In one of the interviews they stated they went out of their way to make sure the characters didn't look like any one from another property. However, I did notice they made catwoman like like she does in the current comic. They could have just been talking about like actors.

I played this on Thursday. It wasn't a final build, but what I played felt really solid. If they finish it up with the same level of quality as what I played, it should be a big hit.
