The game has been slowing, but finally gamers got a look at Jim Lee’s DC Universe Online game. While it is a MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) game, the trailer below only shows NPC heroes and villains duking it out. If this game has the scope and grandeur of World of Warcraft, then I’m sold. Another behind the scenes trailer after the jump.

This morning during the Q4 conference call it was asked if Marvel had thought about going into the game market after the announcements of several companies dropping Marvel games (Microsoft’s Marvel MMO). In a nutshell, Marvel did say it was not pursuing this venture at this time.

Even with my speculation, I can understand why Marvel…
