SDCC 2010: The DC Duo – “Young Justice” and “DC Universe Online”

Over at the convention, DC had a great showing, what with Ryan Reynolds giving it up for his upcoming role in The Green Lantern, and their other upcoming projects. However, what really was making people jump was more information on Young Justice, the upcoming CN series that will air and give birth to an interesting cast of characters. At the time I wasn’t happy with it, yet after getting more information from them, I’m not so sure anymore. Plus, we got to see some more from SOE’s upcoming console-based MMO, DC Universe Online…and let me tell you – glorious.
When we last heard about Young Justice, there was some question about the design and the make of the characters – primarily, the state of Aqualad. After a little show from WB at the Comic-Con, we learned a lot of how the show is going to go. For one, it’s staying on Earth-16, one of the many Earths in the several dimensions that DC goes jumping into all willy-nilly. The Justice League has been fairly new, yet so good at their job that evildoers have run aground. So, Batman recruits the kids to go in after them. Making Aqualad the leader (who is the offspring of Black Manta by-the-by), they overall kick the booty for justice. Artistically and creatively, it looks good, actually, and, judging from the video posted, it may actually turn some heads.
Meanwhile, over here at DC Universe Online… explosions of amazing have been happening. I’m not going to say much because, truthfully, if you want the rundown of the game or the storyline, you can both watch the video or head over to ZoKnows Gaming and check out my article over there. Right now, just immerse yourself in the awesomeness that is… and get a mop and bucket.
