...psst, Black Cat is Marvel. You're thinking of Catwoman.

No, they meant Black Cat. Black Cat despite being Marvel was created by Marv Wolfman. The pun would work better if Black Cat was DC, but still works as the reference was in regards to the writer and not the company.

Come on guys, it can't be that hard to double check a name. Especially someone as big in the industry as Geoff Johns.

I would have thought there would be comic book nerd/video game nerd crossover knowledge.

Geoff Johns? So we can expect the main storyline of the game to be "Campy characters from the sixties and seventies turn grimdark and brutally murder obscure characters from the 80s and 90s."?

And I thought MadWorld was going to have a lot of arterial spray.

So... I guess you're NOT looking forward to "Blackest Night," then?

Johns is actually the guy that got me reading GL again. I sort of fell off after the Hal/Parallax/Coast City nonsense.

At least the game doesn't have Grant Morrison doing some of the storyline at the moment. Some fans are pissed on how he scribed Batman R.I.P. and Final Crisis with the whole plot involving a possibility that Thomas Wayne faked his own death so as to kill off his wife, who was rumored to have an affair with Alferd. Even if it was proven that wasn't the real MR. WAyne, Rip was pretty gritty.

This game is shaping up to be awesome especially for home consoles. I'm curious about the online pricing structure where the game will be free to play, monthly fee or funded through optional microtransactions. It's really uncharted territory for an online console MMO. I was more excited about Champions Online but that has now shifted to DC Universe Online.

Will I be able to knock-out Batman with "one punch"?

The comic book industry is really very open. Talent seems to flow freely from one company to another, like how this guy did Marvel's Blade and DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Not freely at all. The big names tend to get exclusive contracts. Johns has worked for both DC and Marvel also.

Regault, if you worried about Johns' contribution, Wolfman will make things horribly convoluted, throw in strange asides as humor (see Earth-C and Captain Carrot), and then just start erasing things to finally sort out the story. Oh wait, that sounds perfect for an MMO.

The more I hear about this game, the more I'm getting interested...Can't wait for this to come out now. It'll be cool to have an MMO on a console, since I skipped out on FFXI

Haven't been reading comics for many years, but when did Robin get so buff? Or is that some sort of Batman Jr?

If this means an eventual "Crisis on Infinite Earths" expansion pack, I'm even more in than I already was!

I also send much love to Wolfman's "Judas Contract" story from back in the day. Tangling with Deathstroke in video game form (aside from MK vs. DC) will be kick ass.

Hold on, let me put on my ridiculously large glasses and my suspender...

BLACK CAT IS MARVEL, NOT DC!

Even though Black Cat is Marvel, they meant HER and not Catwoman. Black Cat was created by Wolfman, therefore the pun works to a degree. Pun would work better if Black Cat = DC
