Your favourite DC comic book characters come to life in this Massively Multi-player Online action gaming experience. 
But it goes beyond legendary heroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and the Green Lantern, or villains like Lex Luthor, The Joker, Cat Woman, Mr Freeze and Brainiac - you also get to create your own unique character to fight alongside or against these stalwarts. 

You choose whether to take the role as hero or villain, and you’re in charge of designing all physical aspects, from body composition to a killer costume. 
Progress through this vast role-playing game earns you skill points enhancing your abilities to become a formidable hero / villain. 
From Metropolis to Gotham City, DC Universe Online takes the fan of these well-set mythologies into the thick of the action, drama and narrative.  Iconic artist Jim Lee is on board as creative director, with stories and in-game events created by heavy weight writers Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman, the main storyline supplemented with side-missions to enhance diversity.  Solo and multi-player options are up to you, but the online capability allows for massive participation. 

Online subscribers will also have the advantage of new content and missions being added in an ongoing gaming experience.  If you're not yet keen to venture into cyberspace and take on gamers outside of your home (where eventually there is additional cost involved once your 30 day free subscription is depleted), this may not be for you. 
If you hate comic book characters, then you probably haven't read this far(!).
