Offers The Hollywood Reporter, "With the recent success of Warner Bros. films like The Dark Knight and the buzz building for The Green Lantern, The Flash and Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, the first licensed comic book MMO will serve as more than just an action-adventure game experience. Jim Lee, co-publisher of DC Entertainment and executive creative director for DCUO, said that while the game will remain focused on 75 years of comic book lore, future expansions of the game will tie into film events like Warners' The Green Lantern.
"Fortunately, the Green Lantern that debuts in the feature film this June is based heavily upon the same core canon found in the pages of the comics," Lee said. "In that sense, Green Lantern is Green Lantern, so of course, future expansions of DCUO will want to tap into the same well of excitement and passion and awareness that's generated by such big blockbuster motion pictures."
In the end, Lee said expansion packs will still be adaptations of the core comic book stories but share thematic links to the stories told on the big screen.
"Themes of intergalactic heroism, conquering one's fears and making the galaxy a more just place translate well into both film and games," Lee said. "Fans just want great content, whether it be a hit movie or an awesome game. It's less important to have a game tied into a hit movie than it is to make the game fantastic on its own merits."
