So.. what does everyone think of this game? Is it more Duke Nukem' Forever Vaporware... or does it have a chance? I personally hope it gets off the ground... as it has an interesting concept.

DC Universe Online or DCUO is an MMORPG being developed by Sony Online Austin. Jim Lee serves as the game's Executive Creative Director, along with Carlos D'Anda, JJ Kirby, Oliver Nome, Eddie Nunez, Livio Ramondelli, and Michael Lopez. EverQuest developers Chris Cao and Shawn Lord are also involved, and Geoff Johns is the principal writer.

It is known that players will choose a city of origin for their character, the only known cities being Metropolis and Gotham City. Another location currently known to be in the game is Arkham Asylum, Gotham City's mental institution for criminals (including a number of Batman's more psychopathic enemies, such as the Joker, Poison Ivy, the Riddler, Scarecrow, and Two-Face). The character is given either a Justice League or a Legion of Doom communicator - depending on their choice of playing as either a hero or a villain - and the character's allegiance will affect how the game is played; for example, a hero character may encounter a thug robbing an armored truck while a villain character will instead rob (or, depending on character level, assist with the robbing of) said armored truck. It is also known that player characters have threat ratings which will cause both heroes and villains alike to interact accordingly with the character.

I have no doubt it will be released, but the questions are when and how?

I suspect they have one version ready and are hung up on the other, and are still deciding whether this will be a "free to play" game with microtransactions or pay to play.
