DC Universe Online Celebrates 75 Years Of Batman With 3 New Videos
Bob Kane and Bill Finger created Batman in 1939, which means this year the Caped Crusader turns 75. DC Universe Online is celebrating the World’s Greatest Detective by releasing three videos all about his continued influence and his place in DCUO.
In this first video (above), “Building the Bat in DC Universe Online”, Executive Creative Director Jim Lee and several other members of the DCUO development team discuss the trials and triumphs they experienced attempting to incorporate the Dark Knight into the Online DC Universe.
In “Adventures with the Bat in DC Universe Online”, the DCUO staff explain how the Bat can act as a mentor and fight alongside players in-game, as they navigate his hometown of Gotham and interact with his supporting cast and villains. In the process, they discuss some favorite moments from the Batman mythos, and Bats’ driven psyche.
In the final video, “Future Batman in DC Universe Online”, the DCUO team talk about Future Batman, a new take on Batman unique to DCUO. Future Batman is the Bruce Wayne from the very future timeline players are fighting to prevent.
DC Comics has declared July 23 “Batman Day,” in honor of the masked manhunter’s 75 anniversary, so except to see more of (almost) everyone’s favorite brooding orphan superhero in the coming days.
