November 2nd is fast approaching, and you closet-superheroes are no doubt dusting off your tights, underoos and power armor in preparation for Sony Online Entertainment's DC Universe Online. The comic-inspired MMORPG will take would-be crime-fighters from Metropolis to Gotham City, and whether you've got a PC or a Playstation 3, you'll find a home as well as plenty of competition on Sony's servers. Speaking of competition, CVG has released a set of new screenshots from the game that focus on everyone's favorite MMO pastime: violence!
Whether you're itching to spec out a beefy brawler who pancakes opponents with his fists and feet, or a lithe ranged attacker who fills up on POWs, WHAMs, and KRAKs from a distance, DCUO looks to satiate your hunger for action. Check out our gallery below for a little bit of the old ultra-violence.

So let me get this straight. Nov 2 is the release yet and the beta hasn't even started yet. *cough*

You haven't been around MMOGs long enough, have you.

Modern Betas are waste of time really.
Betas don't really result in big bug fixes.
They are usually just a chance for people to play free before launch or websites to build guides.
In truth modern Betas are obsolete. If people wanna play, then make them buy it or wait some months after launch for the free trial.
Open betas aren't really testing phases anymore, so they are not really needed.

Have they started closed beta with the public yet? Not heard much about the progress myself.

They are pretty tight lipped, which may be smart.

I'd wager most of the beta comments will be from players who want a more traditional MMORPG and can accept the action hybrid MMO concept.

I'm anxious to see how this title turns out, but I have to be brutally honest here and point something out. From the gameplay trailers and screens that I've seen, so far this looks like simply a higher polygon count/current-gen version of CoH. I'm looking foward to reading about the actual mechanics and character design but have yet to see anything that made me think "Wow, I gotta get this!".
