A DC Comics MOBA is in development at Lord of the Rings Online developer Turbine.

Infinite Crisis is a free-to-play MOBA that pits a collection of DC Comics heroes and villains against one another.

It will also feature twisted incarnations of favourite characters such as Nightmare Batman and Gaslight Catwoman playing in league with well-known characters like Green Lantern and The Flash.

“The Turbine team is very excited to reveal Infinite Crisis to the world and extend the MOBA genre with new features,” said Turbine executive producer Jeffrey Steefel.

“We are utilizing years of experience in the online game space to deliver innovations to the MOBA genre with a game that features fast-paced action, a major story arc, destructible environments, catastrophic events and a deep roster of iconic DC Comics characters.”

The official site lists Nightmare Batman, Doomsday, Flash, Gaslight Batman, Gaslight Catwoman, Gaslight Joker, Green Lantern, Poison Ivy, Shazam, The Joker, Wonderwoman, and Zatana as playable characters, with more still to be announced.

Infinite Crisis is due out in spring this year, and beta sign-ups are open now.
