[ToddIsDead]

How come I haven't heard of this until now? And what system is it on?

[Philly Phanboy]

Did they cut the team size? Green Lantern, Flash and Zatanna were supposed to be in the game and aren't in any of the pics.

[Juturna]

Hahaha, Batman looks so out of place. Some old fat guy in a bat suit trying to keep up. :down

[ToddIsDead]

I skimmed the article, and they say they saw the Flash and his abilities, but they weren't able to see Green Lantern or Zatanna in action. So, they're in the game.

[Philly Phanboy]

:up:

Can't wait to see Green Lantern in action then.

[ToddIsDead]

This is for Xbox right? Hopefully I can play it on my 360. I hope it's good, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

[XwolverineX]

Is this 2 or 4 player co-op?

[jaydawg]

I pray that John Stewart isnt a typo.

[XwolverineX]

I pray that John Stewart isnt a typo.


That'd be horrible man. Why not Kyle?

[jaydawg]

I love Kyle too, but frankly, I just like John's cartoon interpertation more than any GL to date. He's so badass. Besides, I just cant see giant manga robots working in this game. Controlling John, Bats, Supes and WW would be a total dream.

[artist71]

OK...This game looks awesome. Im so pumped about this one. Great thread!!

[ToddIsDead]

When does it come out and what console is it for?

[XwolverineX]

All he does is fly, shoot beems and make sheilds. He's not very imaginitive. :down

[XwolverineX]

F4 was two players and it sucked. X-men Legends is 4 and it rocked, I am waiting to see how many players this is.

[Civil War Rules]

It better have full coop like GRAW.

[Juturna]

F4 was two players and it sucked. X-men Legends is 4 and it rocked, I am waiting to see how many players this is.

F4 sucking had NOTHING to do with how many players you could play as. The game sucked period. Button layout, story, graphics, gameplay. X-men Legends was awesome because the game itself was awesome. The RPG elements helped a lot too.

[Civil War Rules]

I would pwn with Batman every time.

2 players sucked most. And the shortness.

[XwolverineX]

It better have full coop like GRAW.


:up:

[amazingfantasy15]

I agree Jutruna, there were many more problems with F4 than only being two player, it could've been 4 player and been just as bad. Just another case of a game trying to cash in on a movie.

[Quentin Beck]

Wow the screen shots for this game looks awesome! So is this game just for the xbox360 or is it for the gamecube and playstation 2 as well?

[XwolverineX]

No one knows, what a mystery!! :eek:

[ToddIsDead]

For a last generation game, which I think it is, all of the character models look damn good.

[Nathan]

Finally some DC action, looking really forward to it.

[GL1]

We really don't seem to know do we... I'm not to impressed with the graphics, but it certainly beats some of the other dungeon crawlers we've seen... (XML graphics were pretty weak)...

This may be the game I've been looking for, though.... I can't wait to pick up John Stewart and kick some serious tail. If they are smart, they WILL Make this a four player co-op game. Four player is just so much fun. And four justice league members together? Well... ownage.

And I'm impressed that they're finding ways to confine flash to a screen and still make him impressive and 'fast' even though he's not actually going anywhere.

[Nathan]

Flash is really one of the characters I'm most interested in. I wanna see how well they implanted his speed into the game and will probably choose him for the first playthrough.

[ToddIsDead]

I'm just hoping that each character is true to their comic book roots and they're all fun to play as.

[Mentok]

So is this real or just a good fake?

[Silverstein]

Dear Santa,
I promise not to only play as Wonder Woman, Supergirl(with single male camera angles), and Zantanna if you make this game come out on PS2.


Haha...just kidding.


But not really. Make it come out on ps2 or else.

[Mentok]

Make it play like 'Turtles in Time' and I will be in love :up:


Pitty it will probably be more like the F4 Movie game :(

[ToddIsDead]

Make it play like 'Turtles in Time' and I will be in love :up:

Hell yes!:up:

[Silverstein]

Was TMNT:TiT 4P? I only remember playing 1P and 2P games on that....

[Nathan]

So do I.

[jaydawg]

All he does is fly, shoot beems and make sheilds. He's not very imaginitive. :down
Which proves that you dont understand him. And he's made far more stuff than beams. Even in season one he did more than that. Even in the comics he's far more imaginative than people give him credit for. During his recent JLA stint he's been only second to Kyle in terms of constructions.

[Mentok]

So do I.

Yeah, I believe it was only a two player game now that I think about it.

[GoldGoblin]

Can 2 players play this game,or even 4 players at the same time?

[블라스]

*splurt*

[Civil War Rules]

Was TMNT:TiT 4P? I only remember playing 1P and 2P games on that....In the arcade it was 4P, on consoles needless to say it was only two.

I was talking about JLU. In the comics he does more, like getting entire plantets destroyed. :rolleyes:

[Spidey-Bat]

Looks pretty good. It'll probably be on Xbox, 360, and PS2.

[XwolverineX]

Most likely the Cube aswell. And DS, PSP, etc... LoL..

[Spidey-Bat]

Probably PSP but I doubt GC or DS.

[XwolverineX]

Probably PSP but I doubt GC or DS.


Well, XML was even for N-gage. And the TMNT games are for everything, like Marvel Nemesis, so I just assumed.

[jaydawg]

I was talking about JLU. In the comics he does more, like getting entire plantets destroyed. :rolleyes:
Which proves further how you dont understand him. That whole mini was incredibly out of character. John would never turn down backup. Besides, he could have grabbed the ground under the bomb and thrown it into space. And aside from that he does other great things like becoming a Guardian, one thing Kyle or Hal or Alan or Guy will never become.:o

I don't care if you think "it's out of character" I am so sick and tired of people using That Bull-****. It's in continuity, therefor he did do it, he made a mistake. I do things that are out of character, things that I don't usually do. Everyone does, he F'ed up, deal with it.

[jaydawg]

So I guess its okay that Gwen slept with Norman. I guess its okay that Peter hit MJ. I guess its okay that Wanda is insane with no build up at all. I guess its okay that characters can be portrayed as like hotheaded morons with no reason at all. I guess you just like bad and inconsistent writing.

Yeah, people make mistakes. And I never once said " I like it " I just realize that you can't just right things off, when you personally think it's out of characters. That's not our choice.

[The Lumberjack]

I have this issue of GameInformer, so here's a few answers:

-Playstation 2 and Xbox only. No mention of any other consoles.

-1 and 2 player only.:mad:

-The team will consist of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern (John Stewart), and Zatanna, although it seems that you will only have 2 characters to play each mission w/ some levels having pre-determined characters. Other levels will not be accessible to certain characters, such as Batman and Flash aren't playable in space.

- Braniac, White Martians, and Queen Bee are the only confirmed villians, although they did say there will be a total of 10.

Any other questions?

[Nathan]

1-2 Player only.... ok that sucks.

[XwolverineX]

SUCKS.... Really bad.

[Spidey-Bat]

Sounds rather boring now. I wish it'd be more like X-Men Legends. JL is the biggest group in the DCU, and we can only play as 7 heroes? Where's the others like Dr. Fate, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Green Arrow, etc.

[Sparta*]

Yeah! I want to play as Aquaman, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, and Plastic Man!!

[jaydawg]

Yeah, hearing that just cut my anticipation for this game in half. Playing as four characters really would be great. I want to be optimistic and say maybe they did it for a good reason, so all the characters could get their due. After all, its hard enough to translate Superman and WW to a game, but a telepath with all those abilities and then some? A guy who can literally create anything with a thought? Thats got to be hard as hell. Its probably why Aquaman, Hawkgirl or Hawkman and Aquaman, etc were left out of the game.

Plus villain wise, this doesnt sound appealing at all. White Martians are cool, but Queen Bee? Come on. We can probably guarentee a Darkseid and Luthor apperance, so at least theres that. But really, only 10 villains? Heres hoping theres some cameos. Anyone else think with a title like JL:Heroes, theres going to be a JL:Villians sequel, or possibly playability in the game? And where the hell is the GC love? Looks like another PS2 title to add for my inevitable PS3.

[XwolverineX]

No Aquaman really dissapoints me, so does no 4 player co-op. My anticipation was just shot down. :(

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Pffttt.....where would we play with Aquaman?

[Spidey-Bat]

Pffttt.....where would we play with Aquaman?

Hmmm....I'm just taking a REALLY wild guess here, but perhaps, an underwater level? I could be wrong though.

[XwolverineX]

Pffttt.....where would we play with Aquaman?


You know he can live above water too, right?

[ToddIsDead]

How about anywhere? He's not restricted to the water, you know. He has Superhuman abilities in almost every way, and he could have his cool trident, and the magic water hand. This guy has taken out Deathstroke, Superboy, and he has even taken on big blue himself. Ofcourse if he were in it, there would have to be some water levels.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Holy crap.......since when???????

[ToddIsDead]

There was a thread made by a poster that had all kinds of amazing feets of Aquaman. I can't find it, but it was very enlightening. If someone could find it, if it still exists, you should look it over. You might actually get interested in the character, who is awesome by the way.

EDIT: Here, 4th post.

http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=220441&highlight=aquaman+respect

[jaydawg]

Yeah man, where have you been? Aquaman could kick almost anyone's ass and that water hand, he totally rocks. Or at least he did.

[XwolverineX]

Real Aquaman> Hippie Aquaman

[Mentok]

ROFL... this game is going to suck.

[Spidey-Bat]

ROFL... this game is going to suck.

DC fans are used to it to by now.

Spidey-Bat and Matt: Always great to see Arrested Development fans :up:

Season 3 on DVD this June :D

Anyways, this game, even if it's only 2 player, is still going to rock.

Come on, don't shatter my hopes :(

[Sabretooth]

Graphics definitely should improve a bit. But 1-2 player? Only 7 characters? This is just wrong. :mad:

[Trigger]

I'll buy it just to play as Flash and Zantanna. When was the last time a game made them playable?

[Spidey-Bat]

Can't wait to get it. I re-did this avvy using something even better at the end, but it's 60kb too big to use on the hype:(

Anyways, this game, even if it's only 2 player, is still going to rock.

I wouldn't hope for much. I'd be happy if it gets a 7/10 from most places.

[블라스]

I still have great hopes for the game :(

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think it could all be about popularity....AND leaving something to be desired for fans.

Ya know....like, "Oh we'll have them in the next game" line.

^Yeah that does suck,especially for this kinda game.

I'm hoping for like 7.5, I am expecting like 5.5 - 6...

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I'm hoping for a 9.0, while it might probably be around a 5.0 to 6.5

A 7.0 wouldn't be so bad.

I just PRAY for solid controls.

[villejo]

I hope it's different than the X-men Legends games in that the characters are very different. In X-men Legends, they were all so balanced that quite a few of them(like Colossus, Juggernaut, Magneto, and Scarlet Witch for example) didn't get their due. But I hope that Batman doesn't come off as weak when compared to any of the other playable characters(like Superman or Wonder Woman or The Martian Manhunter).

[블라스]

Why would he? :(

It's only common sense to know that Batman is better, stronger, smarter and just more badass than any of those 3 guys you mentioned :down

You confuse me :confused:

[zenein]

I heard batman kisses boys.

[villejo]

One, Batman doesn't kisses boys. Two, he is only better(if by better you mean cooler) and more badass. It would be like having Punisher, Colossus, Sentry, and Pheonix on a team. Punisher is still a cool character, but he's just a resourceful human. And he's not a billionare like Bruce.

Good idead..:up:

[gregtestagent]

Here is my rant:
I'm only interested in playing as either Green Lantern or Flash. Please, don't tell me they are going to force us to play every character through painfully linear levels. Is this going to be like those X-Men games? And I don't like how every co-op game still hasn't (with an exception of a few) given players their own screen. I don't want to share the screen!

[GreenArrow]

They Should Have Green Arrow and Aquman then it would be close to Justice League:Task Force. That game for sega was great

[블라스]

It has unlockable characters, and yeah, Olliver HAS GOT to be there.

[ToddIsDead]

I'm suprised that I'm not the only one who liked it!

[GreenArrow]

What you mean you like Justice League:Task Force. I have It for Sega I play it soem times not very offten. And if they Have Conner insted of Ollie I will be angry. Conner is ok But Ollie is better

[블라스]

Say it!

OLLIE ROCKS.

[GreenArrow]

Of corse he dose he is the best GREEN ARROW ever

[GL1]

I think Batman should be more of a support character in a league game... he DOESN'T deal out as much damage as superman... he, over time takes away supervillains mobility, powers or changes their goals... using devices, or a series of devices he sets traps and THEN causes damage. He does just throw batarangs fast enough to go hand to hand with darkseid... that's foolishness.

That and the lack of four player and the fact that Flash and Wondy are going to be confined to the same little screen like on X-Men Legends is real crazy. If Batman would be allowed to be BATMAN. If it was four players and had at least partial split screen capabilities, then I would love this game to death.

Of course, having Green Arrow, Aquaman, Hawkwoman and Hal Jordan as unlockables wouldn't hurt either...

[jaydawg]

Well considering that there will be unlockable characters, I'd say its a 100% guarrentee that we will be seeing some Aquaman action. Its likely that one of the hawks will show up and if Bats is in the game, I wouldnt rule out GA. Who doesn't love the man whore that is Oliver Queen? I just hope we get some alternate costumes too... actually I just hope the game is at least worth buying.

Did it confirm unlockables in the preview?

They did on the SHH! front page.

For unlockables I'd think that they'd include Aquaman and Green Arrow because there's been talk about them getting movies with maybe Black Canary as well just to give an extra female hero.

[phoenixflight]

WOW - Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Zatanna and a host of unlockable characters ALL in one game. Hell Yeah!! Can't wait til this game comes out.

Does anyone know who will be voicing each character?? Do you think they will get the voice actors from the JLU series - that would be great.

[Mentok]

They will get the suckiest people they can find to match the quality of the game.

[jaydawg]

Theres been zero talk of Green Arrow getting a movie. As for voice actors, you never know. Its certainly a possibility considering Dywane McDuffie is part of the project and John Stewart was choosen as the GL for the game.

[TheBat812]

why does Supes look 4 feet tall?

[Mentok]

Its the Dean Cain version? ;)

[XwolverineX]

It's going to be so wierd seeing Batman dealing equal damage to Superman.. :O

[Nathan]

Snowblind updated their hompage. Except for a group shot and two Preview links to IGN and Gamespot there wasn't anything interesting. But now we have at least a good look at all the characters.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/Dusk/JLH.jpg

Hmm... Am I the only one who would've been happier if they went with the JLU design?

[jaydawg]

Well, improvements could be made on GL. I'd perfer the green part of his costume to be more a V and for him to have the beard and Flash's mask is a little off, but I can deal. Its not like we're going to be looking at their faces while we're playing. I just pray this game is good.

[PancakeBoobies]

Buttsex?

[XwolverineX]

This game will reek of badness, it's fact.:down

[ToddIsDead]

I'm not very optimistic about the quality of the game. But if it gets tons of good reviews, I'll be on this like white on rice.

[Hype Police]

It looks like a mediocre team action game with terribley mediocre character designs. This belongs in the bargain bin. Who knows though.

[Capt Throbberson]

I'm not very optimistic about the quality of the game. But if it gets tons of good reviews, I'll be on this like white on rice.
What if it's yellow rice?

[jaydawg]

Well Snowblind does have a pretty good track record, so theres always a chance of the game being at least a 8. Besides, it already looks better than EA's Superman.

[블라스]

I forgot Snowblind was making this game :up: :up:

[WhatsHisFace]

Tell me EA isn't making this.

[XwolverineX]

Tell me EA isn't making this.


Read one post up.

[GL1]

See Snowblind making it only solidifies my concerns, not that it won't be a good game... I'm actually thinking the gameplay will be very solid, but still, shoehorning a support-support character like Batman into a combat role or an all-class character like Superman into a tanker of sorts is upsetting to me. That's not the justice league.

The game will be good, but they're going to have to break more than a few traditions to make a "justice league" game... the story will be good too, but man...

Well, Batman is popular. And that's all that matters. :o:down

Then I'm out of luck.

[Nathan]

I wonder if Batman is going to get the Skill Prep-time. :o

After all, Deadpool in XL2 had the Skill Wisecrack.

[GL1]

I wonder if Batman is going to get the Skill Prep-time. :o

After all, Deadpool in XL2 had the Skill Wisecrack.

Prep-Time --Batman's attack rate slows as he builds up prep time on the target, based on target's HP. When Prep time is finished the whole screen goes dark and when the lights come back on, Batman stands triumphant over his defeated foe's beaten and bruised body.

Now THAT's a reason to put Batman in a video game. Other high level Batman skills could include:

Weakness -- Batman pulls an object from his belt (Kryptonite, Mother Box, Anti-Life Equation) at which time the target weakens and loses all of their high level skills.

Gotham Knights -- Batman summons the batmobile which does a hit and run on the villain at top speed.

Meh... why not...

[jaydawg]

You'd think Gotham Knights would call in the Batfamily...but I like your idea better.

[Nathan]

Hahaha... Sounds great. :D:up:

[baby_webhead]

I hope the game play is like Xmen legends and not like Fantastic Four.

[G-Man]

does anyone know the release date? or even the if its coming out this year?

[Nathan]

Well, Gamefaqs has the release date at Q4 2006.

[Mee]

I hope the game play is like Xmen legends and not like Fantastic Four.
X-Men Legends is really not that great. I hope JLH is like that in some ways, but all you did was pick your people, get to the level, and run through smashing everything in sight. Rinse and repeat.

[villejo]

X-men Legends is really "all that great", but I hope the JLH characters are more true to their comic book counterparts.

Then how would ya have Batman on the roster? He'd be too weak. :o:down

You give him kick butt "prep-time" style skills with long cast times...

[Sabretooth]

Because Batman is popular. He is the flagship of DC as well as one of the most internationally known characters of all time. Leaving him out would be a great way to prevent more sales.

[Binker]

Scrolling through Ign today, i found the first trailer for the justice league game, Justice League:Heroes.

http://ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/article/699/699475/justiceleague_033106_qtlow.mov

[ToddIsDead]

That trailer was...weird. It was like it was trying to be one of those MTV style horror movies...with the Justice League. :confused:

[Mentok]

Sucky teaser for a sucky game.

[Nathan]

That flat out blew. :down

[TheSpyAssassin]

the graphics seem either dated or too "fan-made" looking..that kinda bothers me...couldnt they have gotten some big name comic book artsit to design them? say...Alex Ross maybe????

[Savage]

I'm actually pretty excited for this game considering snowblind is making it. The only downer for me has been the two player thing. Everything else pretty much reminds me of X-men Legends 1 (which I loved) but with better graphics. I'm pretty sure the 7 are the only CONFIRMED characters for now but it might increase by 60%. Aquaman, Green Arrow, etc. Maybe even alternate costumes where for GL it would actually BE different GLs. Sounds good to me overall and it's way too early to start *****ing already.:up:


As for the Batman thing, I'm guessing he'll require more strategy. Throw a smokebomb or something that disorients or confuses (the whole green bubbles around the head thing) your opponent and then you melee him with either baterangs or your fists as opposed to just charging straight at him which would take longer. I can see how they can make him as powerful as the other characters without making him PHYSICALLY as powerful and quite frankly I can't wait to play him, GL, and the Flash in this.

Oh yeah, also hoping Bizzaro is one of the villains in this.:D Maybe Batman will have something like a kryptonite gas bomb or something that would help...Which also brings me to my next point. Hoping for a versus mode/danger room like deal where you can have some dream matches.:)

[phoenixflight]

Here are some clips from the Justice League: HEROES 30 second teaser trailer. It is shot as a "poorly broadcasted news report of aliens conquering humanity" feel. I liked it. Lets hope game play is really good.

...Wow does that remind me of X-men Legends. Especially with the news report the game started with.

[WildChild]

I hope it's good,Who's making it?

[Nathan]

Snowblind. The makers of Champion of Norrath.

[GoldGoblin]

Those images are awesome.

[jaydawg]

Looks like Brainiac is one of those 10 villains.

[XwolverineX]

Because Batman is popular. He is the flagship of DC as well as one of the most internationally known characters of all time. Leaving him out would be a great way to prevent more sales.


I know why they would have him. I said how. Big difference.

[phoenixflight]

New website for the game: pretty cool!!!

http://justiceleagueheroes.warnerbros.com/

[Mentok]

Looks like ass :(

[Quentin Beck]

There's hardly anything on the site apart from the trailer! :( and it isn't for the gamecube! :mad:

[XwolverineX]

There's hardly anything on the site apart from the trailer! :( and it isn't for the gamecube! :mad:



Good.

[Quentin Beck]

What's so good about it? Then the makers of this game will get less money and will be less likely to think of a sequel!

[Philly Phanboy]

That trailer was horrible. Everybody involved in making that trailer should be fired.

[XwolverineX]

That trailer was horrible. Everybody involved in making that trailer should be fired.


Word. :up:

[The Riddler]

yeah, i got nothing from that trailer.

[GL1]

That trailer was horrible. Everybody involved in making that trailer should be fired.

How could mulitple people be involved in making that trailer?

"Okay, you pick out two random shots, then you pick another two and... you... make a logo right quick... I think we can wrap this up before lunch..."

[Savage]

Well it was a teaser and the game's about half a year away sooo...

[jaydawg]

Good.
You are such an ass.

[OutcryX]

I'm buying this anyways...even it its half as good as XML and XML2...it'll still be a good fun game!

[Nathan]

I actually don't understand all the negative vibe about this game. The graphics look solid and it's being developed by Snowblind. The only letdown is, that the game will be only 2 Player.

[jaydawg]

People are setting their sights lower now so they wont be so hurt when they buy the game. Looking at DC's track record, you can't really blame them.

[GL1]

I actually don't understand all the negative vibe about this game. The graphics look solid and it's being developed by Snowblind. The only letdown is, that the game will be only 2 Player.

And Batman uses combos to do Supermans level of damage while fighting up close with darkseid.

[villejo]

I like the idea behind it, but how will they be able to get Batman to seem cool? I know he'll have gadgets, but his main purpose in the comics is to scare people and find **** out because he's so smart. That wouldn't be fun to sit around in the batcave and do some sleuthing while Superman is kicking ass and taking names.

[Savage]

Well the man (with Nightwing's help) did kick AMAZO's ass so I don't think he should be underestimated on the battlefield even if it is against superpowered foes.

[Mee]

That was a cheap copy of Amazo.

[Savage]

Still very powerful with the arsenal of powers he did have though. Just don't put Bats up against anyone with superspeed by himself.

[Mee]

Unless it's someone with a weakness for a little green ring.:D

[블라스]

Pffft, Batman beats the hell out of anyone, anytime, anywhere :rolleyes:
That's just common sense :o

[Nathan]

I don't know much about the comics, but in the JLU show Bats got his fair share of asses to kick. He was dropping those Para Daemons like flies in the last Episode.

[Stringer]

New interview with some new screenshots

http://xbox.ign.com/articles/703/703470p1.html

[Nathan]

IGN: Since you mentioned co-op, how many players can participate in the game at once? Is it two? It is four like X-Men Legends?

Jason Ades: It's a single player and co-op game for up to two players. We kept it two for a few reasons, One, to keep the amount of chaos on the screen at a minimum, and two, to keep the camera close in on the action to show off the art and visuals that the team has worked on.

Damn you to hell Snowblind.

[XwolverineX]

You are such an ass.


HA! To me, that is a compliment.

[villejo]

That's pretty sad.

[Ultimate_Superman]

Is this game going to be playable for the 360.

[The Last Meatbag]

Tony Montana you ****face :mad:

[XwolverineX]

Lmao, and it's on the 360. :confused:

[terry78]

LOL, I laughed at McDuffie's answer to IGN as to why he chose John Stewart as the GL for the game as opposed to another GL, like they expected him to say, "cause i'm black, he's black, and we brothas gotta stick together!"

[Green Ghost]

Here is the interview with Dwayne McDuffie:

http://comics.ign.com/articles/704/704686p1.html

And info on the voice talents:

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/705/705086p1.html

It also revealed that Green Arrow is an unlockable!

[jaydawg]

Pff. If there was one person that should voice Batman, is Kevin Conroy. Hearing Ron Perlman (who voiced Slade/Deathstroke, Clayface and Orion).... well thats just really weird. At least Micheal Jai White is voicing GL. If theres one person that should portray him in a movie, its White.

[Nathan]

I wonder why they didn't just take the entire voice cast from the show?

[Binker]

MORE NEWS:

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0605/05/justiceleague.jpg

Ron Perlman and Michael Jai White are among the voice talents for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertaiment's Justice League Heroes video game.

Published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, distributed by Eidos Interactive and developed by Snowblind Studios, the game will be available on the PlayStation2, Xbox and PSP this fall.

Dwayne McDuffie, comics writer and producer of the Justice League Unlimited animated series, created the story for the game.

Perlman, who starred in comics films Hellboy and Blade II, provides the voices of Batman. White, who starred in Spawn, provides the voice of Green Lantern.

Other voice actors include Ralph Garman as Green Arrow, Courtenay Taylor as Wonder Woman, Chris Edgerly as The Flash; Kari Wahlgren as Zatanna, Daniel Riordan as Martian Manhunter, Peter Jessop as Brainiac and Carlos Alazraqui as The Key.

In the game, each hero possesses an array of character-specific superpowers. Engaging in one-to-two player cooperative combat, gamers will be able to customize and master these superpowers as they travel through interactive and destructible environments spanning the farthest corners of the universe.

[jaydawg]

The Key? Damn, the list of villians chosen for this game just get worse and worse.

[Savage]

Eh. At least Brainiac's in there. Maybe he'll make good use of em. :confused:

[The Overlord]

The Key? Damn, the list of villians chosen for this game just get worse and worse.

Well there is also Queen Bee, Gorilla Grodd, Killer Frost and an invading army of White Martians, does that make you feel better?

[Mentok]

ROFL... Ron Pearlman doing BATMAN ???

[villejo]

Who the freak is The Key!?!

[WhatsHisFace]

Ron Pearlman can't be Batman! That's gonna be terrible! :(

Unless he just speaks in his growling voice the whole time. :D

[Mentok]

Only Kevin Conroy should ever be Batmans voice.


Hell, they should have dubbed him over Bales Batman voice in BB :mad:

[TheDarkKnight_NL]

new trailer :

http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/759/759016/vids_1.html

[Nathan]

Nice clip. Too bad they didn't show any gameplay footage.

[The Overlord]

Only Kevin Conroy should ever be Batmans voice.


Hell, they should have dubbed him over Bales Batman voice in BB :mad:

I think they wanted to establish that the game was unrelated to the JLU cartoon, so that's why they didn't use the JLU VAs. Though considering Pearlman did the voices of Clayface and Killer Croc in two different Batman cartoons, it is kinda wierd to have him voice Batman.

[Weapon M]

looks good

[XwolverineX]

looks good


Bizzaro?

[jaydawg]

Well there is also Queen Bee, Gorilla Grodd, Killer Frost and an invading army of White Martians, does that make you feel better?
No because Queen Bee and Grodd are really crappy villains, and White Martians are generic as hell. Frost is cool, but without Firestorm, it feels somewhat pointless. I just wonder what kind of interpertation of Brainiac they're going with. Hopefully its not the whole B13, over the top thing, but it probably will. There better be Lex Luthor, Black Manta, Zoom, Cheetah, Circe, Sinestro, Darkseid, maybe even The Riddler and Captain Cold. These are premiere DC villains. When you got the best heroes on one team, you've got to bring out the best villains in the DCU, not these B-listers.

[Savage]

God I hope for some Zoom action.:(

[phoenixflight]

There will be more villians. One in particular they said they weren't ready to announce yet. Must be a biggie. (Darkseid? The Joker?) But for the record Grodd is friggin' legend.

[Calendar Man]

So, GA is unlockable, and the Key is in.

There is a god. Hope there are more unlockable characters. Might be saving Aquaman and Hawkman up for the PSP edition though.

[jaydawg]

Why because he's a talking monkey? Or because he eats people? :rolleyes: No matter which way you slice it, all of DC's monkey related characters suck, from Titanto to Msr Mallah. :down

God, I hope not. They better not screw us like X-men Legends 2. Aquaman has to be in there. Hawkman I'm not sure if they'll put in or not since he's more associated with the JSA these days.

[Calendar Man]

Any news on this game at E3?

[Calendar Man]

Gamespot updated. New long video with gameplay and an interview. My question would have been are The Joker and or Darkseid in this game because Brainiac, Gorilla Grodd,The Key and some (uggh) made for the game villians are not going to quite cut it for me. Lets also hope you aren't fighting robots for most of the game. Robots can get boring fast.

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/justiceleagueheroes/index.html

[Savage]

That was one of the worst interviews that I have ever seen conducted. And either the guy playing really sucked or they really don't have that many powers or...something...it just looked odd to me seeing Green Lantern punch a robot when I'm thinking "You have a ring! Use it!".

[nogap87]

Agreed. Green Lantern should never ever need a lamp post to knock out a enemy. Don't get me started on the fact that Supes and WW looked like they had the same fighting skills like the characters in X-Men Legends.

[jaydawg]

Talking monkeys with advanced mental capabilites rule. Deal with it. :o
Maybe if the person watching them has intermediate mental capabilites. :o

[Mentok]

Hands on impression from kotaku...

While visiting WB Interactive's floor space today, I got to try out the upcoming Justice League Heroes for Xbox and PlayStation 2. This is a fairly straight-forward game with linear gameplay, but getting to trash the streets with the amazing Flash or Superman is quite an experience. Most of the environmental elements like cars or street lights crumble in a destructible fashion.

It turns into a button-mashing campaign very quickly, but in a fun way. Each character has his (or her) unique type of melee attacks and then their specials. But overall it takes endurance of the thumb.

Graphically it looks good, but the Xbox version takes the cake. The load times are easy and so is the gameplay, so Justice League Heroes is an generally good superhero, button-mashing fanfare. It'll be interesting to see how much it changes upon release.

[ToddIsDead]

If this is BC on the 360, and the reviews are good overall, I may pick this up. It could be fun.

From E3, JLH Hands-On:

E3 2006: Justice League Heroes Hands-On
written by Hilary Goldstein on Friday, May 12, 2006

A meteor hits Earth, containing a mysterious artifact broadcasting a signal heard by only one being in the universe. Unfortunately for the JLA, that being is Brainiac. Promised ultimate power, Brainiac needs a specific object to unlock the artifact and rule the universe. That object happens to reside in the Justice League Watchtower on the Moon. That's the premise that kicks off the action in Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment's Justice League Heroes.

Developed by Snowblind, the fellahs behind Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, JLH puts you in control of seven of DC's classic heroes: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern and Zatanna. With two players on screen in either co-op or single-player combat, you'll need to utilize an array of character-specific powers. These are authentic powers, each with their own unique animations and effects -- none of that recycling crap you see often in games. In fact, everything from the skins to the models to the animations looks distinct for each hero.

The first few levels of JLH are essentially training missions. You don't get to choose who you hook up with. So don't get pouty because Green Lantern and Flash have to get close and cuddle as they battle robots on the city streets. After a few missions, things open up with one required character joined by any of the JLA you choose. Who you pick will affect the dialogue from the villains, which is decent incentive to replay some of the boss battles. After all, you don't want to miss it when Brainiac calls Batman a pansy. Editor's Note: Brainiac does not, at any time, call Batman a pansy.

The gameplay is simple, but fun nonetheless. Health and energy are both rechargeable meters that work just like Halo 2. This is your character's "second wind." It forces you to assume some defensive maneuvering when your health is low and is incentive for co-operative gameplay.

Unlike X-Men Legends, which has specific team-up moves, JLH has a more organic system. It's a matter of experimentation. Try having Green Lantern create a cage around an enemy, then use Flash's tornado attack to cause some serious damage to the baddie. Or have Batman use a flash bomb to stun an opponent, setting them up for Superman's powerful uppercut.

The levels have a great deal of variety. One is a flying mission in space, with Superman and Wonder Woman taking on White Martians, the creatures that destroyed the Martian Manhunter's race. Wonder Woman, by the way, is a great gal to play. Along with incredible strength, she can reflect attacks with her bracelet and use her lasso of truth to pull enemies towards her.

When you level up, you purchase power slots for your different abilities. You can then slot Boost Effects earned to dynamically improve your powers. You can increase the range of an attack or it's overall strength, for example. Open enough slots and you can earn a Boost Combiner, which then combines with an attribute such as strength or speed. This will dramatically improve your Justice League brawler.

Warner Bros. also showed off the first revealed unlockable character, Green Arrow. Ollie looks great and as he levels up, he can string more arrows for each shot. This also alters his stance. Seeing a sudden level up (through the beauty of cheat codes), it's actually a startling change in Ollie's gait.

Zatanna may be the most enjoyable of the bunch. She uses magic, casting her spells by speaking her commands backwards. He stop time attack slows enemies and all of the destructible objects in the cone of effect.

One boss battle was shown in the E3 demo. Batman and Superman must fight a menacing Brainiac. He stands behind a shield while the heroes are attacked. When a generator is exposed, you must destroy it to temporarily drop the shield. There are multiple levels to this battle, as you might expect, but it does look entertaining.

There's plenty more to explore with JLH, but that will have to wait for another day. Look for it this fall on Xbox, PS2 and PSP.

[블라스]

Sounds like Marvel: UA will be much better but Batman + Green Arrow = Sure Buy for Gammy :up:

[giggs11uk]

This game should be on the Wii. THink about it using the wiimote to make green arrow shot arrows and you can hold it in your fist and make punching motions to make certain characters punch and so on. the possibilities are endless

[G-Man]

hey, does anyone know when this game comes out?

[Philly Phanboy]

hey, does anyone know when this game comes out?

Gamespot has the date as being Nov. 1st, 2006.

[Ultimate_Superman]

Will the X-box verison have backwards play so I can play this game on my 360?

[GoldenAgeHero]

thats not really backwards play, thats forwardplay. and reading fromthe article, the answer might be no. this game developer is stupid.

[JackBauer]

Why because he's a talking monkey? Or because he eats people? :rolleyes: No matter which way you slice it, all of DC's monkey related characters suck, from Titanto to Msr Mallah. :down

hey hey hey!! you respect Detective Chimp or he'll have to... investigate you.

:(

[jaydawg]

Meh. DC is cool as a novelty character, but nothing more.

[Binker]

The Justice League Heroes website has been updated.

Go here:
http://justiceleagueheroes.warnerbros.com/

Includes three videos, wallpapers, & profiles. There is a behind-the-scene feature but it won't be added til later.

[Savage]

...What's with the cheesy rock music?:confused: I hope that's not in the game because it seems like a pretty good game so far.:o

[ToddIsDead]

Yeah, I hope there's no Rock music in the game. That would suck.

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Honestly speaking though- i'm NOT feeling this game, or that Preview in the G.I. I would think with the success of the X-Men Ledends franchise, Snowblind would step their GAME UP- instead of making this game LOOK just like XML, but with the DC Universe characters. God knows that DC could use SOMETHING to compete with all the other Marvel games (not that ALL the Marvel games were tight..)- this game just looks "CLONED". Maybe when it comes out, and actually PLAY the game- maybe i'll EAT my words. But i was championing Marvel: Nemesis at one point in time- and we all know how that turned out.

[The Flash!]

Can anyone please tell me if the know, is Aquaman in the game? Thanks!

[ToddIsDead]

If he's in it at all, he's a secret character. The only secret character that is confirmed as of now is Green Arrow.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah.....the game looks good so far. I'm a little surprised really. It'll come down to the controls though.

Flash, Batman, and Lantern all look like they'll be fun to play. Arrow should be good too.

[kudin36]

i dunno but when i saw through gamespot...there's a pic of green arrow..so it is a character there i think

[Ibn]

Hahaha, Batman looks so out of place. Some old fat guy in a bat suit trying to keep up. :down

Batman looks fat?

[Nathan]

Damn that Rock music was annoying.

[Sabretooth]

Green Arrow is in it. I can rest easy. :(

[Lone Wolf]

http://supermanhomepage.com/images/games/jlheroes-boxart.jpg

Nice.

[nogap87]

Did they really need to show Batman and Superman twice on that cover?

Seems like they could of just put Zatanna and Green Arrow on the bottom.

[GoldenAgeHero]

wow this game isnt even on the wii? at least they couldve made it for gamecube. jeez, this stuio is retarded. ah well, game doesnt look really impressive anyway.

[Hades]

They should have went the Freedom Force route. In fact, if you guys want a good JL game just pic up FF. The company created its own heroes for the game but the majortity of them are Dc and Marvel rip offs. It's a really great superhero game.

[Hulkster]

Yes you're right Freedom Force is a great game, and I have almost all the X-men, Avengers & JLA characters.:) :up:

[Johnny Blaze]

http://supermanhomepage.com/images/games/jlheroes-boxart.jpg

Or the Daily Show JS as the Green Lantern would be cool too. :o

That cover kicks ass.

[Shadow_Knight]

Oh hell yeah I am without a dought getting this game.

I’m late to the party…

The people who are developing the Justice League game- is it going to be four players on the screen, or two? Hopefully four—or even six..

What’s the playable character list? What are the available powers and stunts?

I’m still waiting for the DC/Marvel crossover game—that will really get people going.

:supes:

[Savage]

It's 2 players and so far we have Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Zatanna, Green Arrow, and I'm sure I'm missing someone. Aquaman probably.
