Forums - Gaming - DC Universe Online: Trailer Discussion

Unlike most of you, I never got into the Batman/Superman phenomenon. Consider me a noob when it comes to super heroes and villains of the DC universe, which I admittedly am. And if my memory serves me correctly, I don’t think I’ve ever purchased a game solely for a comic hero or a combination of ‘em. However, after watching the new Trailer for DC Universe Online, I’ve become quite interested in the game. From what I understand it’s an MMORPG, and if you know me, you know that I don’t really care for MMOs … I think that’s going to change though with this game.

A lot of questions popped up in my head after watching the trailer. I was tempted to google and Wikipedia all those answers but I’ve decided to have one big discussion with the VGC community instead. I hope you guys can answer these questions while adding your own opinions, thoughts and predictions to this discussion.

Some of these questions may seem silly:

·         Why is the World in ruins?

·         Why is Lex so bent on killing Superman?

·         What are those robots that Wonder Woman is fighting?

·         Who was that giant woman who died early in the trailer?

·         Who is red (orangish) guy battling it out with Green Lantern?

·         Better yet, can someone please categorize everyone according to what team they’re on?

·         What’s with the “Iron” Batman?

·         That Cyborg resembles the Cyborg from Teen Titans, and that ninja looks like Slade! What gives? ( I only recognized them because my nephews would always watch Teen Titans a few years back)

·         Who’s the clown chick?

·         What’s so special about Wonder Woman’s rope?

·         How did that orange guy get so powerful all of a sudden? He can really pack a punch!

·         … ok, how did Green Lantern explode?

·         What’s Superman doing in space, and why are his eyes red?

·         Superman shouts out, “Batman!” yet Batman is nowhere to be seen. I don’t get that part.

·         Who the flying-flip is Brainiac?

I'll answer in parts:


That's Captain Marvel..

He has the power of SHAZAM

S for the wisdom of Solomon
H for the strength of Hercules*
A for the stamina of Atlas
Z for the power of Zeus
A for the courage of Achilles
M for the speed of Mercury

He is like a god.. His only weakness is high level magic and is stronger than Superman.. his most powerful thing is his lightning bolt.. which killed Green Lantern...

Captain Marvel? Was he always bad?

If he's stronger than Superman, how did he lose to him so quicly?

I'm going to have to wait til I get home to listen to this. I'm on campus and I don't have my headphones with me :(. I would rather prefer a discussion but I'll eventually watch that.

@ Nikkom

I'm confused .. Adam is Captain Marvel?
