The first batch of media from the upcoming DC Universe Online MMO have emerged courtesy of the game’s MySpace page.

Unfortunately, this batch of pictures tells us very little about the game itself, but at least we get to see the first of the game’s heroes: The scantily clad Black Canary, and a tiny screenshot of Batman, Robin and Nightwing.

Also included are a few concept art pictures courtesy of famed comic doodler Jim Lee as well as an appropriately menacing portrait of The Joker.

Investigation showed that before finding its way to the museum the lost original version of the movie, which premiered in 1927, was part of a collector’s private film library and contains scenes never before viewed by an open audience.
