Do you have a favorite hero or villain in the DC Comics Universe? Good or bad, DC Comics and Sony Online Entertainment are giving fans a chance to express their passion for their most beloved or despised DC characters in a new video contest on DC Universe Online’s official MySpace site. Fans who visit SOE’s booth #5201 at San Diego Comic-Con, July 22-26, 2009, are encouraged to submit their videos on the spot at their BFF kiosk! For those of you not hip to this term, BFF means “best friend forever.” I’m not hip to it, just forced to know it somehow, for some reason. Agh. So, dress up like a DC villian, act like swagger in front of a camera and you could win. Easy enough.

The DCUO BFF Promotion lets eligible participants submit a video of up to 30 seconds to explain why they would like to virtually meet, fight and become BFFs with their chosen character in-game.

“Whether it’s a song-and-dance tribute to the Pied Piper, or your diabolical plans to trick Mr. Mxyzptlk into saying his name backward, this is a chance to have fun and show just how creative fans can be,” said Debysue Wolfcale, global senior brand manager, Sony Online Entertainment.

At the booth they’ll be hosting hands-on demos of DC Universe Online and handing out some awesome giveaways. Jim Lee and some of the artists from DC Comics’ WildStorm Productions will be visiting each day to sign a DCUO Comic-Con exclusive poster! Also two favorite DC Comics characters will be patrolling and prowling around the booth for photo ops.

That’s not all! On Saturday, July 25th at 11:30 AM PT legendary comic book writer Marv Wolfman will be featured in a panel, “Bringing the Stories of the DC Universe to Life Online,” discussing how they are bringing stories from the DCU into our game adventures. Then Saturday night at 7:00 PM PT is special DCUO Fan Event; come join for a chance to find out firsthand what exciting new features are going into the game, hang out with the DCUO Development team, meet Jim Lee and Marv Wolfman and enter a raffle to win a DCUO collectible pull-up banner of the latest new art from Jim Lee and the team. Plus, enjoy some tasty refreshments!

This is a first come first serve event, but we’re letting YOU know now that the first 300 people who come to the SOE booth and say the phrase “I’m DCUO’s BFF!” will receive a collectible VIP lanyard that guarantees you a seat at the Fan Event. So don’t wait to stop by or you may just miss out…
