MTV Multiplayer got a chance to interview DC Universe Online writer, Geoff Johns, about SOE‘s upcoming MMORPG. The most important bullet point? He estimated we will be ready to don our official DC issued leotards by late 2009 or early 2010. Joy!

He mentioned that he was done writing the overall story as well as the general path that players follow to get into the game. On the game itself, John elaborated on the basics of how he approached DCUO, saying:

Lots of gamers create their own characters. Everyone knows Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, but this game gets you more entrenched in the universe. You meet the Metal Men, or Doom Patrol, and everyone gets a chance to embody something different. I like the idea that your secret identity is really outside the computer. YouÂ’re a normal guy, and then when you log on to the game, you become the superhero.

DC Universe Online is being developed by Sony Online Austin and published by Sony Online Entertainment. The game will be available on both the PlayStation 3 and the PC.
