DC Universe Online MMORPG Trailer Raises Important Questions
? What’s to stop everyone from just being Superman? Wouldn’t having 300 Supermen in Metropolis be a little problematic?
? Likewise, if you want to play the Joker, how the heck do you fight against Superman? Do weak villains get issued kryptonite to keep from having their asses kicked immediately upon entering the game?
? What’s to stop all the player-characters from heading over to Wayne Manor and throwing a huge fuck-all party in the Batcave? I mean, we all know he’s Batman. It’s not like we could make our players forget it.
? Last but not least, if we play as Green Lantern, do we get to make giant magical green penises and beat villains to death with them? I, uh…a friend wants to know.
