GEOFF JOHNS TO WRITE DC UNIVERSE GAMEGeoff Johns,
writer of such DC Comics titles as Green Lantern, Action Comics and
Justice Society of America, has been brought on to write the saga of the DC
Universe Online (DCUO) massively multiplayer action game from Sony
Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) in a first-ever collaboration with artist Jim Lee.
DCUO for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and the PC
is currently in development by SOE in collaboration with DC Comics and
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
"Having a writer of Geoff's caliber brings even more authenticity to the DC Universe Online, and should provide fans with an exciting new medium for his storytelling skills," said John Blakely, SOE-Austin's VP of Development. "Together with Jim Lee, who is our executive creative director for the game, we are tapping into the very best talent from the comic book industry."
"Taking comic books into the online space presents an exciting and
unique opportunity for me as a writer," Johns said. "I'm looking forward to
creating a thrilling story that explains why the DC Universe has suddenly
been populated with millions of new heroes and villains in a way that will
engage players."
"We've brainstormed about the DC Universe many times but this will be
our first time working together on something of this magnitude,"
Lee said. "This really shows the level of commitment everyone on this project
has to capturing the DC Universe in an authentic, compelling way."
