DC Comic Online

JL: Imagine getting to create your own unique superhero, give it a name, choose a physique, a costume, a set of powers and then dive into the DC Universe where you get to meet and ally with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the entire pantheon of heroes.
Imagine getting to team up with friends and other players from around the world and take on the likes of the Joker, Lex Luthor and Deathstroke. Imagine getting to use your network of contacts to go on missions and adventures to incredibly diverse environments. Imagine gaining fame and notoriety, forming leagues of superheroes to battle one another or to take down Darkseid himself.
It's not hard to see how awesome a game like this would be and it's really the chance to play around and do so many different things in the DCU that is the big draw to gamers and comic book fans alike. Metropolis and Gotham city for example are such diverse environments that really can't be replicated in any other online space. Our job is to make the game as immersive as possible so that you don't feel like you're playing a game...but in fact, that you are a superhero. It's taking on the biggest fantasy there is in the world of comics and making it happen. That's what this game is about and it will take years to create.

More info on the linked page.


Jim Lee the comic artist has been heavily involved in this. Him and his WildStorm team have been creating some of the art for it.
If you don't know he was involved in big Batman and Superman stories making them bestselling.

If they make this better than City of Heroes and very "iconic" :lol: of the DC Universe then I will take a look for sure. B)

Oh yes, it's being made my SOE. :erm:

Okay, I hope you know the same combination produced Matrix Online, of course took SOE a while to get involved that time, anyway from everything I read it was very disappointing.

*Buzzer* Actually Matrix Online was produced by a different company with WB funding it. Matrix was tanking so badly the company couldnt keep it goin, so they sold the game over to SOE after a few months.

Because they could get some money back from the sale (at least, I think they "sold" it).
