Justice is a Dish Best Served Cold
You have no idea how well that headline actually goes with this story.

Now, we certainly won’t say we didn’t see this one coming. After all, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment did announce last July its plans to give Justice League of America the current console treatment. Here’s what we didn’t know, though: Snowblind Studios is behind it all.
Yes indeedy. The famed Baldur’s Gate and Champions creators are delving into the world of DC Comics, but not without a little help from award-winning comic book and animation writer Dwayne McDuffie ("Static Shock," "Justice League," "Teen Titans," "Damage Control," "Deathlok"), who will be penning the unique story.
"In Justice League Heroes, gamers get to play Batman and Superman together along with an amazing team of super heroes wielding unprecedented powers for stand alone action on consoles and the PSP system," worded Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "The game utilizes Snowblind's innovative gameplay technologies and the respected story writing of Dwayne McDuffie to bring fans and gamers some of the best super hero battles in the universe."
Justice League Heroes will primarily take the action/adventure route, though role-playing customization, including upgradeable, character-specific superpowers, should steer it more in the X-Men Legends-esque direction. The all-star cast features Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, and a number of unlockable superheroes to boot. The game will offer both solo and co-op combat and destructible environments, as our favorite tight-wearing heroes span the universe doing, you know, hero-like things.
"Working on Justice League Heroes is exciting because players will get a chance to experience the superpowers of these well-known and loved super heroes together first hand," squealed Paul Knutzen, Game Designer, Snowblind Studios. "This is a real opportunity to bring the celebrated characters to life in dynamic gameplay, showcasing their individual powers and their incredible capabilities working as a team."
"Comics and videogames go hand in hand, so it's only natural to have a game featuring iconic characters like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman," calculated Paul Levitz, DC Comics President and Publisher. "Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will do a great job of bringing the Justice League to life."
We won’t know for sure if the Justice League will have, er, proper justice done until the fall, when the game arrives in both console and portable fashion. Until then, we wait… and if you’re lucky, return with updates.
