‘Infinite Crisis’ Shows Off Gaslight Catwoman, Poison Ivy

by Derek Kraneveldt

Following the Wonder Woman and Nightmare Batman character profiles released last month, Turbine Entertainment today revealed two new character videos. Today’s release features Gaslight Catwoman and Poison Ivy, and each profile gives us a pretty good idea of what each character’s abilities are.

Turbine, of course, also developed the much loved Lord of the Rings Online, so I’ve got high hopes for this one. Hopefully an OS X version is also in the works! Watch the new videos below, and let us know what you think!

The free-to-play title is set to release later this year, with a closed beta beginning on May 8th? Did you get an invite?

Last week, DC and Warner Bros. Interactive announced a new free-to-play arena title called Infinite Crisis. The game is being developed by Turbine, the same folks that crafted the acclaimed MMO The Lord of the Rings Online. A short trailer for the game accompanied the announcement, but aside from that, most of what the title offers remains a mystery.

Today, two new character profile videos were released for the game featuring Wonder Woman and Nightmare Batman. Each profile gives a good look at the character and what they’re capable of, and also features plenty of new in-game footage.

Watch the videos below, and let us know what you think! If you like what you see, you can apply for the closed beta at the game’s official website.
