8. Beetlejuice

Now, this one is definitely a bit of an outside choice, but considering the leaked roster we already have it's best not to count anyone out at this point. Beetlejuice has been a favourite amongst campy horror lovers since its release in 1988, mostly down to the incredible portrayal of its main character Betelgeuse by Michael Keaton.

Before anyone goes leaving an angry comment, yes, there are lots of other horror-themed options that Warner Bros technically have the rights to, like Pennywise and The Exorcist. If Warner Bros want to add those characters, that would be amazing, but the chances are probably slimmer than you think.

Bettlejuice, whilst technically a horror film, is more campy fun than it is particularly scary. Warner Bros probably don't want to risk upping the age rating for their potential cash cow of a game, so Pennywise and any characters from The Exorcist are no-go in that respect.

Plus, you gotta think about it from a media synergy perspective - and what's screams synergy more than having two Warner Bros characters played by Michael Keaton duking it out? You gotta think of the bigger picture folks. Or as Keaton's Batman would put it, you gotta get nuts.
