OK this isn’t a movie trailer but, damn this is impressive and packs one hell of a punch. This is the trailer for the upcoming game DC Universe Online and as a cinematic trailer (read not game play) it shows such potential for DC if they ever wanted to do something better than the Justice League Cartoons. So have a look and let me know if you like it as much as I do:

I’ve always been more of a Marvel fan myself but with stuff like this (add to it the great direction Nolan has taken Batman) DC has certainly been getting my attention more and more. Also their story lines are more inventive as they spin great new yarns with their age old characters. While I’m not an avid gamer, this looked too good not to post. And who knows, with the pressure Marvel is putting on DC by gearing up for their highly anticipated Avengers movie, I bet the fabled Justice League movie is closer than we think…

This really was great and as usual has me asking the question: Why the hell haven’t they done something like this as a straight to DVD movie? The inspiration is clearly there. It’s also a bit of a tease when it comes to how the game compares to this trailer – it’s a schism rarely seen these days in the age of next generation games where your imagination has to fill in the gaps in the reality presented in the game.

BTW Marc. I don’t see a spot here where I can subscribe to comments for your individual posts. Am I looking in the wrong place?

I’m not sure, making the switch from WordPress.com to WordPress.org I’m missing quite a few things I’ve become accustomed to. Guess I need to go widget shopping…let you know more if I find something:P
