Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming DC Universe Online (PC, PlayStation 3)MMORPG wouldn't deserve its name if it didn't feature DC's poster boy: Superman. Well, we've gone and compiled some interesting, albeit, well known facts about the Man of Steel in the first of what will be a series of articles on the characters in the game. So head on over to the full article to find out more about everyone's favorite Big Blue Boy Scout.

This week's new offerings for your Blu-ray home entertainment systems come from various genres and we're sure some of you would like the releases. This week's on Blu-ray stars Led Zeppelin, Takumi Fujiwara, Oliver Cromwell, a bunch of vampires, and the Justice League. Interested? Check out the full article for the complete list.

It's been reported earlier that Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group is acquiring TT Games, the studio behind the highly successful Lego games. Guess for how much though? A whopping GBP 100 million (US$ 206 million)!

Read more about the acquisition and about the founder of TT Games Jon Burton, now dubbed as the £100m geek.

At the GDC show floor, NCSoft showcased the video for Issue 9 of twin MMOs City of Heroes and City of Villains. We reported on the latest issue called Breakthrough last January, but it's still better to see it applied, don't you think?

Anyway, the GDC Breakthrough trailer runs through the new content that would arrive as soon as the Issue 9 goes live. The Invention System, which lets you create your own costume pieces, get temporary powers and superior enhancements, and the Stateman's Taskforce, where Heroes can join forces - a la Justice League - to go into major PvE action, were showcased in the video.

The expansion's release for City of Heroes and City of Villains is yet to be announced, so for the meantime you can check out the video.

The press release used very positive language. Powerful positive words like "investment" and "leading"  were present. Well, here's the short of the long of it: the big WB is putting some of its eggs in Sci Entertainment Group, the parent company of video game publishing label, Eidos Interactive Ltd.

So what will this business-y bit of news mean to us gamers? Well it basically means that Eidos now has the freedom to develop games on WB properties. Franchises like Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera, The OC (do you really want to see an OC MMO? Ergh...), and other animated content can now be made into games by Eidos.

So what are we looking forward to? Hopefully a good WB-Batman game, or maybe even a Justice League game thats based on the JLU animated series. Here's a weird thought:what if Eidos takes a page from CAPCOM's playbook? Looney Tunes vs. Hanna-Barbera? We'd want to see Tom and Jerry go up against Road Runner and Wile E on your 360...

More interesting is that, after some digging, we found out that there was a rumor a few months ago that SCi-Eidos will be making games based on movies by Time-Warner... Hehe, a Snakes on a Plane survival game perhaps?

Okay, let's assume that you're not the best comic book fan, that you've managed to ignore the JLU animated series and that you've chosen to ignore over 50 years of pop-culture, just because Adam West and creeps you out a bit. So following that improbable assumption, you're likely to have no idea what Justice League Heroes on the PSP is about. Don't worry, we found two GameTrailer videos for you guys.

If in case you're normal and not a freak of nature (like the ones who'll fit the assumption we made above), enjoy the vids! It's got character profiles, interviews with the producers, and a small feature on the locales you'll go through in the game. If you want more interviews (this time with the voice actors, you can go here.)

More fun than a barrel full of monkeys is a game that's a barrel full of super heroes. And what better way to play a game than to control a super hero that can morph into different things? We're talking about none other than Justice League Heroes' J'onn J'onzz, a.k.a. the Martian Manhunter.

The video below has him smashing baddies left, right, and center with lamp posts and motorcycles. You can also see him morph into his default martian figure and slash enemies with his claws. For those who have seen the "Justice League" cartoon series, you might be surprised with his arsenal of super powers. Some of these shown in the vid were actually never-before-seen attacks in the cartoons.

Now, if that's not enough for you, we've included a download link for Wonder Woman's gameplay trailer. She's walking around a factory and lassoing frozen robots in an Amazon's rage. There's even a short clip where she does some sort of screwdriver attack that would shame M. Bison of Street Fighter. Click the link below to watch Diana rough up the baddies.

Supergirl and Black Canary joins the Justice League as unlockable characters, no, heroes, in Justice League Heroes. You'll get to unlock the two PSP-exclusive super babes as you progress through the game, giving you another reason to give justice to the Justice League heroes by kicking ass on your handhelds.

Supergirl (aka the Last Lass of Krypton, hehe.) will have the following powers that you can use:

Flying Strike: Supergirl damages and crushes her enemies as she flies and zips through them.
Heat Vision: She can incinerate everything that falls in her line of vision via a searing beam of heat that erupts out of her eyes. You might wanna think twice before trying to catch this girl's eye.
Super Breath: No, not with super bad breath, but with a giant freezing breath, Supergirl can literally make guys stop in their tracks, all frozen and rigid. Of course she can do this to her girl enemies too.
Super Punch: A damaging blow that gets even stronger as Supergirl winds up.

Black Canary also has quite strong powers you can use if you decide to take on her role in the game. These are the powers you can access when you play as this tough chick:

Sonic Scream: Black Canary can scream a cone of disrupting sonic energy, resulting to stunned and damaged foes.

Bird of Prey: A powerful series of martial arts moves.

Talon Strike: A deadly combination of kicks that causes major damage to enemies.

The Raptor: A flying, spinning kick that tornadoes through a pack of enemies, damaging those in her path.

Yes, it's time that the girls get the spotlight on this game, and to give you a taste before you get the game on November 10, here are two screenshots of the two super babes in action (and no guys, not THAT kind of action):

 

Aquaman is just one of many unlockable characters in Justice League Heroes, the action adventure that will hit current-gen consoles as well as PSP and DS this Fall. The game is voiced by an impressive cast, including Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Blade II, Justice League TV series) as Batman, Michael Jai White (Spawn, Spawn: The Animation) as Green Lantern; Crispin Freeman (Viewtiful Joe, Kingdom Hearts II) as Superman, and many more recognizable names.

In Justice League Heroes, players will be able to customize and master the super powers of many popular comic book heroes in a RPG-style fashion as they fight in destructible environments spanning many locations of the universe. The game will include cooperative modes, countless numbers of enemies and a compelling story. Looking at these screens, Justice League Heroes seems to be shaping up as another great comic book adaption.

Pre-Order: [Justice League Heroes PSP]

Welcome the newest addition to the Justice League Heroes team on the PSP console: Hawkgirl, as she joins the battle against Braniac and his evil minion.

Just a little trivia, the original Hawkgirl was Shiera Sanders (or Saunders) who is called the Golden Age Hawkgirl. She was the reincarnation of the Egyptian princess Chay-Ara, and partner of Carter Hall, the Golden Age Hawkman. Shiera died when she was merged with Carter and Katar Hol to form a new Hawkman version, a "hawk god" creature, during the events of Zero Hour. The current Hawkgirl is Kendra Saunders. After committing suicide, her grandaunt Shiera Hall, the Golden Age Hawkgirl, entered her body and continued being a heroine using the original Hakwgirl's equipment — a belt made of nth metal.

Now she has been confirmed as a new member of the Justice League and they will be gracing your PSP screens by October 17 this year for the game Justice League Heroes. The unlockable Hawkgirl, alongside with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, Green Arrow and Aquaman, will enable players to fly and utilize her lethal hand-to-hand combat skills. Her diverse range of super powers are great for single player mode or to assist other characters in a co-op play.
