Sony Online Entertainment is working with legendary DC Comics artist Jim Lee to produce DC Universe Online, a massively-multiplayer online game where players can fight alongside or against their favorite superheroes and supervillains including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Joker and more.

As with most other titles in the MMO genre, you'll have your choice of character class and customization along with a unique combination of superpowers. Famous DC writers, including Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman, have been brought in to help pen the storyline and quest adventures, which take place in familiar locales like Gotham City, Metropolis, Arkham Asylum and more.

DCUO will be subscription and microtransaction-based and will launch in November 2010 on both the PC and PlayStation 3. We got a look at some of the gameplay at E3; check out the video below as well as a screenshot gallery and let us know what you think. If you're a DC Comics fan, will you be excited to play within the DC Universe?
