In recognition of the beta community's great support and feedback, and to celebrate the impending 1/11/11 launch of DC Universe Online, SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) will be closing the DCUO beta tonight with a cataclysmic beta ending event, "Battle of the Legends."
Based on the events revealed this summer in the "Who Do You Trust?" cinematic trailer, Beta players can align and fight alongside or against some of DC Comics' most legendary heroes and villains, including Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor and The Joker. Join in the battle and take this last shot at creating your legacy! Become part of this epic conflict when it erupts on your server.
If for some reason you're unable to attend, don't worry - the DCUO team will be providing updates on the status of the battles on their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/DCUniverseOnline. There will aslo be some "legendary" guests joining in on the fun, playing as the iconic characters:
At 6PM PT (Wednesday, January 5th) fight alongside comics legend Jim Lee aka "Future Batman" as he takes on IGN's Nick "Guyman McMonocle" Kolan and his league of villains in Gotham Botanical Gardens! (PC players only)
At 7PM Jim Lee will defend humanity as "Future Batman" in the Botanical Gardens against the evil duo of IGN Editors Greg "Blue Business" Miller and Hilary "The Temp" Goldstein! PS3 beta gamers can jump in and assist the Dark Knight, or help IGN rain evil down on the universe!

About The Author:
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).
