Sony has just released artwork, renders and screenshots revealing Solomon Grundy for their upcoming DC Universe Online MMO!

Solomon Grundy is part zombie and part plant, a bizarre, centuries-old half-human life form filled with confused anger. At times he is a rampaging monster, at others a calculating and coldblooded villain.



Solomon Grundy’s enhanced strength makes him a threat even to the DC Universe’s strongest heroes. As an immortal, massive blows or injuries can’t kill or hurt him – afterwards, he simply regenerates to rise again.

Solomon Grundy has been seen skulking in swamps, sewers, and abandoned buildings in both Metropolis and Gotham City. Denizens of these cities beware the low growl of “Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday…”

ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.

Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.

Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).

Out of all of the games in development right now, I think I'm the most excited for this one! The big question is if I'm going to get it for the PC or the PS3... Decisions, decisions :o)

BCiddy, how dare you insult "HULK", the most powerful super hero on the planet. Grunder looks nothing like the HULK. Grunder looks more like you.

BCiddy I'm sure if you look at any marvel superhero they'll have a DC counterart and vice versa.

Actually Grundy pre-dates the Hulk by about 20 years...

Tylet80,

Nope. not all of them. DC does not have anything like Captain America, Spider - Man, Wolverine, or Daredevil.

Now DC does have chacter similar to Thor, Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Thanos, and Sentry... so there are some counterparts.
And then there's the Squadron Supreme which IS DC characters in the Marvel U. You have Hyperion for Superman, Nighthawk for Batman, Spectrum for Green lantern etc

So far it looks like it's only going to be for the PS3 and PC. Since Sony is behind it, I highly doubt it'll come to the Xbox 360... Maybe Microsoft will hook up with Marvel for a MMO? :o)

I'm excited to see this as a finished project, but with Marvel looking to release their version of the online MMO, I wonder which one is going to stand on top!?

"Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
That was the end of
Solomon Grundy."

"Solomon Grundy is part zombie and part plant, a bizarre, centuries-old half-human life form"

So what is he? 30% man, 40% daffodil, 27% zombie with 3% Stoat thrown in just for good measure?!
SpiderBat209
SpiderBat209 - 4/15/2009, 4:51 PM
Solomon Grundy is 90% made of Hemp, which explains his speech and I.Q.

The other 10% is a Zombie Angry Drunk.

Grundy Rules. I wanna Party with Grundy. lol jk :)

I never heard the whole plant angle. Weird.

Grundy's dope.

Nice incantation adamant877, well played.

SpiderBat209 - 4/15/2009, 5:04 PM
Seriously though, I love the Grundy Ryme too! If I ever land the honor of writing for DC, I would soooo like to write a Solomon Grundy story! :)

I'm actually more excited about Champions Online myself. Although DCUO does look decent as of right now.

BCiddy said "all he is, is dc's version of the hulk..."

And all the Hulk is, is a version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Nothing is original.
BillyBlack
BillyBlack - 4/15/2009, 5:54 PM
I'm hip Spidey209

Grundy would be a great throw in for one of these DC franchises. Not as a main villian IMO, just cause there's too much Hulk stigma going around, but he could add serious action without eating up too much story.

Just out of curiosity, how would you attack it? If you don't mind me asking.
SpiderBat209
SpiderBat209 - 4/15/2009, 7:14 PM
@BillyBlack---Dude, believe me, I HELLA WANNA TELL YOU! But I'm saving it.

Let's just say, with my love of all things Dark and Gothic, it'll be unlike anything ever written about him!

Here's a poem I had published about my obsession for all things Goth, which I'll share:

Photobucket

I named it after a goth chick in my writing class, whom I never really had the privilage of getting to know off-campus. The woman in the pic is my friend, Angel! (Purrrrrrrrr.) Yes, my real name is on the poem.

This is an AMAZING concept!!! Which is why I already have and play City of Heroes. This is just a knock off with a brand attached to it that narrows the demographic to DC fans, so not the wisest business move on DC/Sony's part. MK vs. DC works because there is a shit ton of MK fans to add to the DC fans, and it wasn't exclusive to Sony. I dunno. Just my opinion.

the game looks good, it should rock when it comes out.

but THIS particular screenshot is a little weird.. the car that Grundy is grabbing is incredibly big and completely out of scale!.. if that is the size of the car, then Grundy should be the size of a Hobbit!! haha.

No offense to the CG artists ok? And i know the car is in "first plane" (or how it is correctly said).

And no, i am NOT supermike,(in case someone is looking at the user´s name haha)

I think marvel is starting out by making a kids mmo with their superhero line and then if that fairs well they will make a title similar to the DCUO

Love your poem spidey209. I write myself, mainly scripts and stuff but i used to dabble in poetry..its easy to get a bit pretentious with poems though! But i like yours a lot. And your friend is nice too;)

Grundy is class..tragic, creepy character. He actually has a solo comic out at the mo, but i havnt checked it out yet.
SpiderBat209
SpiderBat209 - 4/16/2009, 12:37 PM
Thanks, Rorschach01! Me too, I write mainly scripts and stuff, but I love writing poetry also. I wrote one about suicide, that's just extremely beautiful, but NO publisher will touch it, due to the content. Oh, well.

And Yes, Angel is a BABE, but she's my buddy, so darn. Sux 2 be me. lol jk :)

I'll have to check out that GRUNDY solo comic! I'll hit the comic shop and see if they got it.

We will be expendable , but we will be many!!!!!

The only MMO in development for Marvel right now has been farmed out to Gazillion, and is based on the childrens "Super Hero Squad" property. The more serious one that was in development had Marvel drop out, and the resources that had already been put together for it became the Champions Online MMO. So, if you're looking for a serious Marvel-based MMO to counter DCUO then it might be a long wait.
With a very conservative guess at a two year development cycle for Super Hero Squad before Gazillion even starts work on anything more serious . . . well. Let's not hold our breath.

Nice work Spidey209

Thanks for the share. I understand protecting your creative concepts, however, your description is very intruiging. Should you ever put it down in any public medium, I'd love to hear your tale.
