With her defeat we acquired her jester's hat, which comes with stat boosts when equipped. But don't worry about her goofy hat compromising your hero's look that you put so much into, as we were shown how you could equip your spoils and then go back to edit your look, still maintaining the perks that come along with it. Of course, we made our hero almost completely naked after finding this out. We basically stripped him, save for the jesters hat and some superhero briefs. Classy.
It's easy to see how fun this kind of world would be online after our demo. The combat isn't quite as fluid as you'd hope to see in something that looks and feels just like a console-only online game, though. There's nothing inherently bad about it, but it doesn't quite have that finesse that we're hoping for. They've still got time before the release later this year, so we're not too worried. On the upside, DC Universe is looked quite slick in the visuals department on the higher end PCs we demoed it on. It's been a bit since I've seen the game (maybe Comic-Con last year), but it's looking to be shaping up quite nicely.
