Here is some other info that you might want to add:

Confirmed Travel Powers
Flight
Superspeed - including running up walls & ceilings
Acrobatics - bounding strides across the ground and climbing/bouncing up between buildings

Cost
Sony has said perviously that they are aware console players are normally not willing to pay a monthly fee. While nothing official has been mentioned it is very possible that we will see DCUO with no monthly fee, but some sort of micro-transactions (maybe additional powers/costume pieces among other things?)

Story/Plot
The initial story of DCUO was written by Geoff Johns, a rather famous/popular DC comics writer. Marv Wolfman (another well known comic book writer is also doing some work on it). Johns has been quoted saying that the initial plotline in DCUO is "Secret Origins" - basically setting your hero's place in the DCU and filling out his origin. He has not mentioned many other details other than the fact that players will travel all over the DCU - including exotic places like the Doom Patrol's castle headquarters in Europe. Johns has also indicated that as part of the "Secret Origins" story the players will meet and interact with a large variety of DCU heroes and villians (includign Black Adam).

Feel free to steal any or all of the info in the last two posts either in-part or verbatim.
