DC Comics Creating Online World Of Superheros

Riding high on a big opening weekend for the Dark Knight, DC Comics and Sony Online Entertainment are creating a new online game called DC Universe Online. "You chose your physique, your name and your power base and based on (that), you have a tree of powers that you can develop," says artist Jim Lee (All Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder), executive creative director on the game. "You can be a speedster, or fly fast, or be one of these characters who swims." No release date has been given for the game yet but more details will be given at Comic-Con, starting Thursday in San Diego. My advice is to start thinking about your really cool superhero name now!
