I know there are more interviews and links, I'll post them when I find them, or you can if you find them first. This topic is not for hating on the next MK, it is purely an information thread. All the facts will be found here. Here is a summary of the facts so far:
1. This game may or may not be canon, that has yet to be decided.
2. No Fatalities.
3. There will be finishing moves that finish the opponent in a spectacular way, but it won't be gory.
4. There will be blood.
5. The game will be rated "T", however, Midway is looking to push the "T" rating as close to "M" as possible without crossing the line.
6. Approximately 20 characters total, this could change.
7. Various MK and DC arenas.
8. Freefall Kombat, where you and your opponent fight as you fall after being knocked off, or throwing your opponent, out of an arena.
9. Klose Kombat, where you grab the opponent and the camera goes into a boxing perspective, and you perform brutal attacks up close, making you the aggressor and the opponent goes on defense.
10. Arena destruction and interaction. You can throw your opponent through walls, off "cliffs", and into other parts of the arena.
11. Scorpion, Batman, Sub-Zero, and Superman are confirmed so far.
12. Due to the universal merger storyline, Superman is weakened by the magic effects, making him weaker and a balanced character.
13. MK/DCU will utilize the Unreal 3 engine, as well as original code developed by Midway.
14. The game will be released this fall, sometime between September and December.
14. The game will be for PS3 and Xbox 360. There is no unreal 3 engine for Nintendo Wii, however Ed Boon states that he has no problem with MK/DCU for the Wii if it can be done.
15. The storyline for the game will be written by comic book veterans Jimmy Palmotti (Monolith, 21 Down, Painkiller Jane) and Justin Gray (Jonah Hex, Crisis Aftermath: The Battle for Bludhaven, JLA Classified).
16. This game will not include any elements of previous games. No Konquest, and no Puzzle, motor, or chess Kombat.
17. MK vs DCU will feature a story mode from two different persectives, one from the DC side, and one from the MK side. Ed Boon mentioned that the DC characters will see the MK characters as the invaders, and vice-versa.
18. Ed said that the most "iconic" characters from MK and DC will appear.
19. From the trailer, it seems as though the Graveyard arena from MK3 will appear in MK/DCU, however this could be a completely new graveyard.
20. Classic special Moves will appear, such as Scorpion's spear and Sub-Zero's freeze. It has not been confirmed what special moves Superman and Batman will wield, however, Heat vision and batarangs, respectively, are safe guesses.
21. Daniel Day-Lewis is not in the game. The "there will be blood" poster on Noob.com is to remind people that, there will indeed be blood.
22. An MK vs DCU demo will be playable at E3 from July 15th to July 17th.
23. There will be no stage fatalities or deathtraps. This time around you will have to beat your opponent to death.
24. Midway's Marketing team knew people at DC and discussed it with them. When DC agreed, the idea was presented to Ed Boon who, after some deliberation, agreed to the idea. So it was Midway who began the crossover.
Gametrailers.com interview:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=R7TQ8tW_RJI
25. Character count might now be 22 characters total. 20 is the minimum expected. As before, half will be MK and half will be DC.
26. Clothing and mask damage. Bruises will possibly appear.
27. Ed Boon states that the game will "probably" be teen rated, making it a slight possibility that the game could be "M" rated. Don't count on it though, it would be best to expect a "T" rating, or you might be getting your hopes up for nothing.

I wasn't sure who to send the sticky request to, so I sent one to Sheyla. Thanks Leinhart007. I saw some people were misinformed and felt it necessary to create this thread.

I agree as well. This should be stickied, because this thread is nice and informative. All the whiners need to read this thread so they can stop the moaning. What's there is there. If it changes, it changes. If it doesn't, ah well.

Master Snake, out.

Great work. Worthy of a sticky.
I'd also add that there won't be any Puzzle Quest, Kart Racer mini games on this one, according to Boon. I don't know if they'll do something else, but he said that they're focusing on going for doing something fresh for this game, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was primarily a fighting game with no side games.

Thanks for the reminders people, I had thought I might have missed mentioning a few things.
15. The storyline for the game will be written by comic book veterans Jimmy Palmotti (Monolith, 21 Down, Painkiller Jane) and Justin Gray (Jonah Hex, Crisis Aftermath: The Battle for Bludhaven, JLA Classified).
16. This game will not include any elements of previous games. No Konquest, and no Puzzle, motor, or chess Kombat.
17. MK vs DCU will feature a story mode from two different persectives, one from the DC side, and one from the MK side. Ed Boon mentioned that the DC characters will see the MK characters as the invaders, and vice-versa.
18. Ed said that the most "iconic" characters from MK and DC will appear.
19. From the trailer, it seems as though the Graveyard arena from MK3 will appear in MK/DCU, however this could be a completely new graveyard.
20. Classic special Moves will appear, such as Scorpion's spear and Sub-Zero's freeze. It has not been confirmed what special moves Superman and Batman will wield, however, Heat vision and batarangs, respectively, are safe guesses.
21. Daniel Day-Lewis is not in the game. The "there will be blood" poster on Noob.com is to remind people that, there will indeed be blood.

Too bad that there's a limit for modifying topic. Updating your original post would have been far more convenient.
