USA Today Interviews DCUO Artist Jim Lee

USA Today published an interview with Comic Book artist Jim Lee today.  Mr. Lee is the artist overseeing the DC Universe Online MMO!

Q: How will DC Universe Online differ from other MMOs?
A: To me, a lot of MMOs are fairly, I wouldn't say static, but it's the kind of thing where you start, push "attack," and get a cup of coffee, come back and say, "I won." (In DC Universe), you are constantly moving and actually doing a lot more dogfight-type battles, running along on the ground and flying and going around buildings and blasting people. It's chaotic, but it's organized and it's very, very dynamic. To me, that is kind of how superheroes fight. It's not like they stand there and trade blows. The cities are their playgrounds, and they demolish them.
Q: What can you say about the artistic style of the game?
A: I actually spend a lot of time on the faces. As a gamer, I like to go up and look at people's faces and see how good of a job they did. For me, it does feel more alive because the video games have sound and movement. ... To me, I'm not trying to get Superman to look like he is the guy who lives next door. To me, he should still look iconic and bold, and that's what we do best.

Not only is Jim Lee a talented artist and an incredible fan, he's an MMO gamer!  Good to know this game is in such good hands!
