Electronic Theatre: Electronic Articles: DC Universe Online Details

Earlier today, Electronic Theatre received a Fact Sheet from SONY Online Entertainment with a few details about the forthcoming DC Universe Online for PLAYSTATION3 and PC. We believed at the time that the Fact Sheet in-fact contained no facts that, at this time, weren't already current knowledge. However, it has been brought to our attention that attached names, synonymous with greatness in the world of Comic Books, have been noted for positions that haven't previously been clear. However, of course, Electronic Theatre is not a Comic Book orientated site and, therefore, few of our staff can add weight to such developments. So, instead, we have taken the liberty of reproducing said Fact Sheet here for you directly, in it's completion, to simply allow you to draw your own conclusions.
