Jim Lee, the Executive Creative Director of SoE's recently announced MMORPG DC Universe Online started his presentation at the historic Shrine Theater in Los Angeles by repeating the Jack Palance feat of doing one-handed push-ups on stage to the laughter and applause of a full house of media representatives and analysts.
The renowned comic book artist is no stranger to the world of MMORPGs. He informed the packed Shrine Theater in Los Angeles today, July 15th, 2008 that he is an avid gamer and played EverQuest from the day it launched and made the level cap of 50 that summer.
By way of presenting his MMORPG gamer creds, Lee boasted, "I was the first. Not the second, not the third, but the first Paladin on my server to get Fiery Avenger after a miserable 20 hour camp in the plane of Sky."
Jim waxed eloquent over the beauty of the Gotham skyline and the ability to walk the same streets Batman walked. To be a super hero standing besides the likes of Green Lantern or Wonder Woman, or a villain helping to orchestrate a mass breakout of the inmates of Arkham Asylum, "that would have made my twelve year old brain explode," he said as he spoke nostalgically about his longtime love of games and comic books.
Imagine being able to play a super hero character of your own making and assist Nightwing or Green Arrow in a mission. Or maybe you would prefer to concoct a scheme with Lex Luthor to undermine that do-gooder spandex wearing Superman? Oppose or support Brainiac's robot army? This will be your choice when SoE's DC Universe Online launches.
