According to interviews, the characters were chosen for their popularity and parallels between the characters from both universes. Ed Boon has said that some of the characters' abilities, especially on the DC side, have been toned down to make them balanced within the game. A case of this Ed Boon mentioned, is Superman will have some vulnerabilities because of magic, otherwise the game would be sorely unbalanced.
The game features a Story Mode, playable from two different perspectives, one from the DC side, and one from the Mortal Kombat side, and depending on which side players choose, they will see the characters from the opposite universe as the invaders of their own, the player must also play as different characters which are split into chapters.

When a cataclysmic force merges conquerors from two universes, conflict is inevitable. Kombat forces friends to fight, worlds to collide, and unlikely alliances to be forged. In order to save all they know, the heroes and villains of Mortal Kombat must wage war against the combined might of the DC Universe (DCU). How can either side prevail when rage blinds them to the dark threat poised to destroy them all?
In what may well be a unique instance in the world of fighting games, MK vs DC's strongest point is its story. It seems that the main supervillains of both universes were coincidentally teleporting at the same time, and an odd cosmic coincidence caused the two of them to turn into a single ultravillain. Even worse, this merger has caused the two universes to bleed together, leading to the imminent death of all life in the universe if "Shaoseid" isn't stopped. This means that all the heroes and villains of the Mortal Kombat and DC Universes must team up to save the day, but not before beating eight kinds of hell out of each other first. Luckily, there aren't any fatalities in the story mode, so the game's plot is never at risk of being derailed by Scorpion reducing Superman to a pile of flaming, blackened bones.
The game's story involves an unintended merging of both Earthrealm (the setting for Mortal Kombat) and Earth (the setting for DC Universe) as a result of the simultaneous destabilization of both Shao Kahn's portal (as the result of a blast by Raiden) and Darkseid's boom tube (as the result of a blast by Superman). In addition, this merging causes numerous power fluctuations with the combatants of both universes (adding new strengths and vulnerabilities), violent "kombat rage" outbursts (which causes "good" characters to fight among themselves), and both Shao Kahn and Darkseid merge into a more powerful form (Dark Kahn).
After Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm is defeated by Raiden's forces of light, Raiden destroys Kahn by blasting him through a portal. At exactly the same time on Earth, Superman stops Darkseid's Apokoliptian invasion by blasting Darkseid with his heat vision as he enters a boom tube. These acts do not destroy either of them, but merges them into Dark Kahn, and causes the DC and Mortal Kombat universes to merge.As the worlds merge, the characters' abilities fluctuate, causing violent "rage" outbreaks that are actually the feelings of Dark Kahn being fused into the characters from afar. Because of this, certain characters either gain strength or vulnerability. This allows things such as the possibility of Superman being defeated due to his vulnerability to magic, and giving the Joker the ability to fight Raiden. With each world thinking that the other is responsible for the merger, they fight each other in Mortal Kombat until only one fighter from each side remains: Raiden and Superman. In the final battle, Raiden and Superman fight while Dark Kahn feeds on their rage. Both realizing that the other isn't working with Dark Kahn, they overcome their rage for each other and defeat their fused enemy, restoring the two worlds to their normal separation. While everyone else has been sent to their original universe, Darkseid and Shao Kahn have been switched and are both rendered powerless. In the end, they both face eternal imprisonment in the other's universe; Darkseid is restrained in the Netherealm, while Shao Kahn is trapped in the Phantom Zone.
