    @KainScion: I guess it would be some kind of conflit opposing Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman...

    @lifeboy: No.... It is not good... Not as a DC fan, not as a Mortal Kombat fan, not as a Fighting game fan... Do not buy it...

    @KainScion: Ive seen the demo and it plays like mk but better and no mk vs dc did not suck, you're just a marvel fanboy that constantly are unhappy with DC for god knows what reason.

    @KainScion: yawns. Coming from someone who says he prefers the lame as hell kinect marvel fighting game over injustice. Pretty much everyone hates the kinect game.

    At least I'm realistic and I acknowledges when marvel does something good. you just hates everything dc. so shoo

    @KainScion: almost every website is praising the game calling it the most anticipated fighting game. it already won awards btw. tons of them. You dont need to play the game to know if its good. Just like how everyone saw that kinect game and couldn't be bothered with it.

    Whoa, thanks for the info guys, i will make sure to stay clear of it. Its just that i loved dc heros for ps2 so much, i thought any jl game would be good. It was just so much fun to play, especially being supes, zatanna, flash or ww :) i also bought xmen apocholipse but only played it for 20 minutes before i hated it and never played again. Who cares, it was only 5 bucks on amazon, since they dont even make ps2 games anymore, Lol...

    It's the next universe wide cross-over focusing on the trinity of Sins i.e. Pandora, Phantom Stranger and the new Question. It sounds like the three will be waring against each other with the DCnU in the cross-fire as opposed to the Trinity fighting together against the heroes.

    Pretty sure the characters Didio was referring to as Phantom Stranger being involved with the origins of familiar characters are Trigon and Raven. Trigon is mentioned in solicits of #1, and Raven was originally going to be used by Scott Lobdell in something, but that plan got axed for other future plans... probably these.

    So the zero issues are for anniversary purposes, but do we not already know most of the back stories/origins well enough already? Unless they're wanting to change things up a bit more. Interesting to see if they'll keep the anniversary theme every October.

    I'm glad to see this lighthearted exchange amongst some of the heavy hitters. I'm definitely looking forward to the Phantom Stranger as he's always been a favorite of mine.

    @Eyz: Neither Didio or Lee are EiC. That's Bob Harras' job. Lee and Didio are co-publishers. I don't doubt that Didio has a heavy hand in editorial though. Lee seems more invested in the digital and collectible parts of DC.

    Great interview. As well, I did not picture DiDio as a jovial, happy guy. DC has not disappointed me yet with the New 52 and I'm looking forward to what they come up with next.

    Ahh they are starting to lay the foundations of Trinity War, awesome. Phantom Stranger's gonna be one of the ongoings Im going to be getting soon so I sure hope he handles this book alright. And of course Jim Lee would say Team 7 would be his favorite upcoming zero issue, lol didn't even have to hear his answer to know what he'd say.
