This better be for the PC version as well. No-one can get on due to Station being down.

And the mask better be colourable, blue doesn't work well on NOTION.

That mask is bad-ass!! Way better than those ridiculous Guy Fawkes masks.

But what's up with the Batwoman mask? I didn't know there was a Batwoman. I though Batman was knocking boots with Catwoman.

EDIT: I have learned that there is in fact a Batwoman. She is both Jewish and lesbian. Who knew?

So when does the free service become enacted? Or whatever the word is.

Green iz best! WAAAAAAAGH!

Anyway, I guess this means there's going to be lots of players with names like "B47M4N" running around.

The funny thing is Batwoman was 1st introduced in order to try and prove that 'Batman is not gay'. Then, in time, they made her a lesbian. Weird development.

There already are hundreds, but you can't get the Bat Emblem until you do the Batcave run at level 30.

I assume by good plans the spokesperson means they wont lose all their information

There's actually Batgirl, Batwoman, The Huntress (Lesbian ex-Batwoman) and Oracle (who's the ex-batgirl). And a female Robin AFAICR.

If they were interested in convincing me that Batman isn't gay, they should have killed off Robin. That would have more convincing effect than the introduction of Batwoman.

True, but Robin was and still is a waaaay too popular character to kill off. Besides they would simply have someone else take the mantle, like they did twice(or even thrice if you count Stephanie Brown) before.

Batwoman was the only character who got created specifically so that Batman could be 'so not gay despite having Robin by his side all the time'. Of course, later writers changed that, because she was introduced all the way back in the Silver Age of comics, IIRC.

And the female Robin you're referring to is Stephanie Brown. She didn't last very long in that role. In fact, I believe Batman explicitly told her that she failed her trial period.

And Batdog. The possibilities are endless.

That and she was distracting Robin from more weighty matters.

So this means about 5 people will get the hat? Seriously, there are only FOUR SERVERS that are played anymore. two for PC, two for PS34. One for Europe and one for America each.

I would take the 30 days plus package, Sony can keep the mask.

Stephanie Brown became batgirl two years ago and I got to admit, she doing a hell of a job.

Oh great a 30 free sub to dcuo so i can catch up with the league again, awsome. But wait "we are woking around the clock-" I'm sorry but that takes away from everything. Sony said psn would be up for sure wensday, it is now thursday goin on friday. Sony i love you guys and i will try my very hardist to stay with you but this is getting outta hand now.

And WOW laughs and laughs and laughs...

That is the most ridiculous mask I've ever seen...and I must have it!

Gah. Great, my credit card info is potentially compromised and I get...a mask. Okay, the extra month is being decent about things, but I'm going to have to hope that others are still going to show up.

Seriously, DCUO is a really really fun game. I'm totally into the action MMO concept, and there's some fantastic environmental design (yeah, two cities. But the alerts take you elsewhere, so hey). Decent writing, too, even if the overall "Exobyte" storyline is more than a tad weak.

But Sony has completely and utterly mismanaged the game from day one. What they really need to do is just offer a free intro month, maybe F2P until level ten, or heck, just a freaking demo. That ain't going to happen, though. At least not with a marketing team that is mostly worried about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Because of this whole PSN situation I can't even register for DCUO, I'm waiting for days now... Think that they will get me those 30 days for free if I register a day or two after it's online again?

Yeah, probably not. F... :x

I'm a bit confused here, i haven't had an open sub since the game was first release and till about a month after that, but I assume my information was still on file. Anyone know if I still get a free month?

And when DC: Online comes back up Sony will make it Free to Play, thus giving you all your free days.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that sony are going to give every account on record 30+ days. I suppose they could only give it to "active" accounts, but it just makes no sense to do that.

You know what? As someone who paid full price for the game, I'd still welcome that. I know it would grind a lot of gears for some guys, but bottom line, DCUO needs to stop hemmoraging players (also needs more end game content, but that's a secondary issue).

As an individual who would not give his last $1 to Sony if they were a reputable dealer of firehoses and his house was already ablaze, how *is* DCUO faring these days (pre-Crash, that is)? I seem to recall everyone was calling it the potential City of Heroes killer, but...?

Disclaimer: I played CoH for ~5 years, finally left when I realized that I had seen everything the game had or potentially ever would have to offer. DCUO has my interest, but again: Sony.

The game has improved since release. There are things to like and things not to like. It's short, and low on content for an MMO at a brisk 30 levels. It has plenty of raids and missions to grind on once you get there, but it is without question grinding.

I enjoy that it is one of the few MMO games to actually have something approaching a real combat system. In some hectic fights when you're trying to chain-juggle enemies with weapon attacks, while spacing it out with large damage super moves it can almost feel like God of War online, because the fighting really has that feel to it.

It's an excellent casual MMO, but bugs and exploit issues at initial release caused the population to drop off severely. I will go so far to say that you can at least tell that the developers if this game made it with a deep love and respect for the source material, and work hard to represent the best parts of the DC world in great detail.
