Let the hype begin!

It looks like DC Comics wants to give City of Heroes a run for their money. Let's hope that DC's mouth isn't writing checks that its ass can't cash:

Smedley said he was unaware of the Marvel MMO status but wasn't concerned. "I will put Super-Man against the X-Men any day," he said. "And 'City of Heroes' was massively successful, but now we're bringing the world's No. 1 comic into the MMO space."

Hall was similarly unfazed by any potential competition. "DC is really where the classic archetype of the superhero lives, and there is nothing else like it," he said. "We're partnered with arguably the leader in this space for the longest period of time, and we're pairing them up with one of our largest properties. It's a great setup for success and for the experience DC fans want to have."

So, does this mean that they won't have annoying 13-year-olds running around with character names like B4tm4n and S00perm4|\|?
