From the deep recesses of GamesCom comes the one threat that no one predicted. The arrival of... "them."

Yes, "they" have appeared. All eight of them. They've come marching out of the convention to media sites across the internet, seeking superheroic domination over the masses. They show images, amazing images, of things to come in our future. They are... screenshots!

Ok, so perhaps the screenshots don't deserve their own movie trailer, but they are quite impressive. DC Universe Online is shaping up to be quite a gorgeous game in its own right, and we've gotten eight more insights into the game. S.T.A.R. Labs is featured prominently in these shots, and we even have one of Batman facing off against the Joker.

Check out our gallery below, and be transfixed!

I sure hope this ends up better than COH & CO. Pretty graphics aside we need some details on gameplay

I would like to hear more on the gameplay as well. From the videos I'm thinking they might have gone down the Pew Pew Pew dumbed down route that CO decided to go down, but that's just my impression from the videos I've seen, I hope and pray my instincts are wrong. CO broke my heart already, I hope this one winds up being a fun surprise.

I really do hope this game turns out good. That way i can buy a ps3 and have an mmo take over my living room too.

I'm hoping it's not the Pew pew pew dumbed down route either. The Super Hero game genre is anything but super right now. It needs a boost. They're doing a few things different with the gameplay, but nothing that makes me think a revolution is on the way. One game, especially this one, will not revolution or innovate much in the grand scheme of MMORPGs, but it needs to do enough to change the direction games like CO are going.

They said the same thing before WoW came out. What im saying is you never know how good it is till you sit down with it for a few months. I think it looks awesome, can't wait.
