Warner Bros. Interactive has announced that water-loving superhero Aquaman has been added as an unlockable character in its highly anticipated vide game, Justice League Heroes. Developed by Snowblind studios, the title will be distributed by Eidos Interactive this fall for PlayStation 2, Xbox, PSP, GameBoy Advance and Nintendo DS.
Justice League Heroes is an action game with role playing customization that will also feature popular comic-book denizens Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna and the previously announced unlockable, Green Arrow. Each hero has an array of customizable powers authentic to their character. Other Key features of the game include air-to-ground combat, fully destructible environments and two-player collaborative
Play.
The original story featured in Justice League Heroes was scripted by award-winning comic and animation writer Dwayne McDuffie, whose credits include Static Shock, Justice League, Teen Titans, Damage Control and Deathlok. Aquaman will join the fight to stop Brainiac and his evil forces, including Killer Frost and The Key, and restore peace to the world.
A hero from the mythical kingdom of Atlantis, Aquaman is armed with the sword of Atlantis and a water shield, and has the power to generate a whirlpool to trap enemies. Though he has long been a staple of the DC universe, the character has been overshadowed by more popular caped crusaders including Dark Knight and The Man of Steel. Recently, however, the property got some major publicity from HBO’s hit series, Entourage, in which an actor played Aquaman in a fictional movie directed by James Cameron. Now there is talk of a real Aquaman movie spurred by the talent agent who served as the inspiration for Jeremy Piven’s Emmy-winning role on Entourage.
