Directors Chris Cao and Jens Anderson answer your biggest DCU Online questions

DC Universe Online has released another Inside the Studio video, answering the fan's toughest questions. Things they talk about:

Guilds

Guilds will be fully functional, and while they're not releasing a ton of info on them at the present, they are saying that guilds will have proper superhero names, like Leagues and Legions.

Kid Heroes

During character creation, kid body types will be available, so you can make your Robin-esque or Teen Titan hero. Choosing the kid body type won't effect your stats or abilities in any way.

Weaknesses

Superman's vulnerability to Kryptonite and Green Lanten's weakness to the color yellow will not be included in the game. The directors spoke about how it would be very difficult to implement, but they're looking to possibly add the idea of hero weaknesses in updates and expansions to DC Universe Online in the future after the game has released.

Will Dead Heroes or Villains Be Featured?

Cao and Anderson have said they've played around with the continuity of the DC Universe in order to produce the coolest versions of the world's characters. That means some characters that have died in the current DC Universe comic book continuity will be present in the game. Having these characters alive gives the development team the ability to tell the best stories.

Character Creation

The directors spoke of a feature during character creation called "inspired by," that gives players the ability to scroll through many of the DC's greatest heroes and villains, choose one, and then create a brand new character inspired by the one chosen. This also carries over into how the characters play. So if you've chosen Batman, you'll see a variety of new characters that appear dark and ninja-like and possess all of Batman's gadgets and martial arts fighting ability.
