Current mood:  adventurous
What happens when Dick Grayson, The Boy Wonder, becomes a
man and decides to leave his mentor to take on new adventures? He takes on the
name Nightwing
and joins forces with the Teen Titans against criminals of the
night. Second only to those of Batman, Nightwing’s fighting skills
and detective abilities are a definite advantage for a hero who also has gas
pellets, smoke capsules, and an acetylene torch.
Wearing a bulletproof and fire-resistant costume that is wired
with a single-shot taser, Nightwing can easily incapacitate any attacker. His weapons
of choice to combat foes, including the H.I.V.E.
(Hierarchy of International
Vengeance and Extermination), are twin, shatterproof-polymer Escrima sticks.
Keep in mind that you get to play alongside or against Nightwing in DC Universe™
Online, so choose your own armaments wisely.
Check out all the downloadable AIM icons, renders, concept art, screenshots, and wallpaper of Nightwing in action
available now!
As we move into the winter season, our next month’s
character is getting cozy with his surroundings and may even be the cause of
the cold weather front. He openly shares his cold heart with those around him.

Sony Online Entertainment Joins Forces With Mass Animation To Launch The DC Universe™ Online Animation Contest On Facebook®
Artists Invited to Collaborate In Animating Heroes and Villains for the DC Universe Online Game and Trailer
LOS ANGELES, Calif. November 16, 2009 – Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and Mass Animation today announced the DC Universe™ Online (DCUO) Animation Contest. The DCUO Animation Contest is version 2.0 of the acclaimed Mass Animation Facebook® application and will give DC Comics fans, gamers and animators a chance to animate heroes and villains from the DC Universe Online game currently in development by Sony Online Entertainment, and to collaborate in creating a CGI trailer and in-game character animations. The DCUO/Mass Animation contest is scheduled to launch on December 7, 2009. “The DCUO/Mass Animation contest takes a part of the game out of the development studio and puts it in the hands of fans, an empowering opportunity for our community,” said John Smedley, president of SOE. “Players will have a chance through qualified contest submissions to be involved with the game’s development at a deeper level than ever before by animating actions for in-game heroes and villains.”
All the tools that animators will need to collaborate on this project, including a special edition of Autodesk Maya 3D Animation software, storyboards, designs and fully-rigged 3-D models will be provided to contest entrants and accessed through the Mass Animation application on the DCUO Facebook fan page. Participating animators will upload their contest submissions back to the application for viewing, voting and sharing with their friends. New to the contest this year will be the Mass Animation iPhone app, which gives people a new way to view and vote on submissions. Qualified contest winners will receive cash or other prizes. Each week, voters and a panel of judges will help determine what shots qualify as the “best” and will be eligible for voter prizes.
”This new project really gives us the opportunity to expand Mass Animation into the online game sector, where gamers have already been creating in-game customized assets for some time,” said Yair Landau, founder of Mass Animation. “In 2.0, we are opening the animation process to traditional animators as well as gamers and inviting artists to animate some of the coolest most classic characters on the planet such as Superman, Batman, The Joker and Wonder Woman. By opening up the contest to gamers and involving them in asset creation, there will be a real sense of connection to the game before it even launches.”
Mass Animation’s first collaborative animation project, Live Music, is scheduled for theatrical release on November 20th with “Planet 51.” Inspired by Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” and early CGI films, the story follows Riff, a rock ‘n’ roll guitar, falls in love to the wrong song but ends up with Vanessa, the classical violin of his dreams. A global story told through the universal language of music, the instruments are brought to life through original compositions and familiar rock tunes played principally by legendary guitarist Steve Vai as Riff and acclaimed violinist Ann Marie Calhoun as Vanessa. 51 animators from 17 different countries collaborated in the making of this unique and wonderful film which introduced Mass Animation to the world.

In hopes of having a Superman of his very own, Lex
Luthor called upon his top scientist Dr. Teng to scan and replicate the
hero’s genetic structure. Due to complications in the construction of the
carbon copy, their results gave birth to a monstrous menace, Bizarro.
Bizarro has a reputation on the streets of Metropolis that
is the polar opposite of Superman’s. With freeze vision, flame breath, and strength
to match Superman’s, Bizarro is a daunting enemy. Kryptonite, which can cripple
Superman, actually gives Bizarro strength, giving him an advantage over
Superman.
Make sure you check out all the downloadable ..AIM.. Icons, concept art, and screenshots of Bizarro
in action, available now!
Next month we’re featuring a hero who amazed his audiences
with his artistry in the air at a young age and eventually stepped out of the
shadow of his mentor to take on new adventures.

As an archer, Green Arrow (Oliver "Ollie" Queen) is an expert marksman with his bow and his dozens of trick arrows. He has excellent aim and never misses a shot at cleaning up the streets of Star City. He is constantly inventing new kinds of arrows, including a boomerang arrow and others that explode on impact.
Armed with a cutting wit and devilish smile, Green Arrow is a key member of the JLA and a very close friend to Green Lantern. Friends of Green Arrow consider him a bit outspoken for his own good; his snide remarks infuriate his rivals as Captain Boomerang, who yearns for the day he can cut Green Arrow down to size.
The by-products of his years of study and spiritual training are his enhanced strength and stamina, that are matched only by his political convictions.
Make sure you check out all the downloadable AIM Icons, concept art, and new screenshots of Green Arrow now available on our website!
Don’t forget to stop by next month. If you like things that are bizarre and defy logic, you might actually like our October Focus Character...or perhaps we have that backwards.

Hal Jordan acquired the power ring and lantern from a dying alien whose spaceship crashed on Earth. The alien’s objective was to find an individual who is “utterly honest and born without fear” all which describes the character of Hal Jordan.
Hal is the premier Green Lantern in the famed Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force. Armed with his ring, which creates hard light constructs powered by his imagination, Hal patrols Earth with his mantra:
“In brightest days, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might Beware my power, Green Lantern’s light!” Check out all the downloadable content including DCUO AIM Icons, concept art and renders of Green Lantern on our website!
Don’t forget to stop by next month where we focus on another “green” character!
