The Flash speeds into DCUO
Filed under: Super-hero, New titles, Previews, News items, DC Universe Online
Maybe it's just the resident comic book nerds here at Massively, but as soon as we saw Geoff Johns announced as part of the team involved with writing the story for DC Universe Online, we just knew The Flash had to show up. Sure, it makes sense to have him in there since he's a major part of the DC license. He's also the perfect choice to show off super-speed as a travel power, too. But Geoff's work on the Flash storyline was absolutely awesome, thus having him in the game is something we're pretty psyched to hear confirmation of.
SOE explained his spot in the game a bit further in the press release noting that we'll be dealing with the Wally West incarnation of the Flash, who "easily runs at light speed, vibrates through objects, create explosions through friction - and, when at agonizing top capacity, can manipulate time and bridge dimensions." We just wonder if a high-level speedster will be able to manipulate time and bridge dimensions too. Can you imagine how cool that would be? For now, enjoy some concept art for this newest addition to the DCUO cast!

He looks way to damn big, I thought he was supposed to be on the low end of the scale. Not Van Damn size..

"easily runs at light speed... when at agonizing top capacity"
So which is it? Easy or agonizing? Or is SOE trying to say Flash's top capacity is faster than light speed? Newtonian physics FTL!

I think I just messed my shorts :P
He looks kinda cool, you can see it's a Jim Lee style, infact if you look at All star Batmans body it's kinda similar

Ahah, I thought the same thing..
I think Flash shouldn't be that buffed on the upper body, but alright.
Looks good anyways..
