The Online DC Universe Is Dangerous, Confusing, Pretty
As I’m sure some of you DC Universe Online players already know, there are several cut-scenes in the game that are kind of like motion comics — that is, official DC art, animated as you see in the video above. Well, after Motherland — the folks who made the cutscenes — made this montage of them, I figured they were groovy enough that non-DCUO players might enjoy them, too. Heck, if all motion comics were so well-done, I might actually be inclined to give them a try. Meanwhile, can any of you guys tell me why Sinestro is in his Green Lantern uniform in the clip?
