Xbox LIVE Adds DC Comics Network

Xbox adds a host of DC related features to its online service

As if Dark Knight, Wanted, Hulk, and Iron Man gamerpics weren't enough, the Xbox LIVE online video game service has announced a plethora of DC Comics content for your Xbox 360.

The DC Comics Network will be a one-stop shopping location on the Xbox LIVE Video Marketplace for superhero media to play on your Xbox 360 game system. To celebrate the launch, they're offering stellar gamerpics of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and the DC Swirl. (Gamerpics are pictures attached to your Xbox online profile to represent you when playing other gamers.) Imagine evil gamers quaking in fear when they find they're going to play against the Justice League. Cheaters are a superstitious and cowardly lot.

After p0wning bad guys, relax with all the superhero digital downloads you can buy for a reasonable price.

• Batman: The Animated Series
• Batman Beyond
• Superman: The Fleischer Cartoons
• Super Friends
• The Adventures of Batman
• Aquaman

And coming July 8th, Batman: Gotham Knight, the Batman direct-to-DVD animated feature will also be available for download. (Click here for our ComicMix review of Batman: Gotham Knight.) An exclusive clip is available right now for the Xbox.

Haven't bought an Xbox 360 yet? If you're considering it, multiple leaks have all but confirmed that a price drop to $299.99 for the system (the one with the hard drive to download video content) will be coming in mid-July.
