Superman
So it finally happened, my glorious chance to fight a real super hero and the main cog himself, Superman. But I wasn't alone, Lex Luthor joined the battle along with a little Kryptonite. Was a rough battle even with the Kryptonite and without it Superman would have handled us both.
With the Kryptonite, Lex Luthor and Warband managed to defeat Superman and force his retreat. Our assault on S.T.A.R. Labs was successful and LexCorp has all the information they could ever want about the super heroes and a pile of new Exobytes to create more Villains.

Down for the count
Not really, all DC server have been taken offline for maintenance and server side patches. While I am craving to play I can accept the few hours of down time for patches that will only better the player experience.
They did something I have seen no other MMO do. They sent out a few system messages stating the downtime was going to start in 1 hour, just so players could finish what they were doing. They posted exactly why the servers would be offline, posted patch notes and a estimated maintenance time. While the dev team handled this professionally by giving plenty of time before shut down and a reason for doing so but people still manage to complain.
Every game has these growing pains after launch and I am impressed at how stable the servers have been. There has been a crash or two but overall the servers haven't been down for a extended time that was not planned.

Boy Blunder
Got sent on a critical mission from Joker. Robin managed to break into Jokers Fun House to capture Harley Quinn and steal Jokers recipe for a nerve agent. So Warband is sent in to do the grunt work and is told to secure the recipe above all else, if Harley Quinn had to die then so be it.
Robin was one of the harder fights so far, he had a lot of health and was fast. Had some abilities that I wasn't used to like a charge attack with a knockback/stun combo. He also had Metropolis police officers there to aid in battle, luckily for me I had a few of Jokers minions on my side.After the fight was done, Harley Quinn was free but Robin got away with the Jokers nerve agent recipe. I hope Batman likes Jokers famous lemonade recipe that Robin so valiantly fought for.
Wonder Girl
Warband and Giganta faceoff against Wonder Girl .Who so rudely interrupted Giganta while she was in a ritual to steal powers from dead Amazonians, so Giganta herself could become a demigod.
The fight was not what I was expecting. Wonder Girl was a literal push over, she had two abilities at max. She used a lasso to stun and drag enemies to her and a round house kick with a knock back. Simple ground and pound fight again.
If you have read some of my other posts, the boss battles have been simple so far. But the characters I am fighting are considered "sub heroes", meaning they are the weaker of the super heroes. I did not get video of it, but I was in a fight against Bizzaro who is considered a "epic hero" and he was a vastly more difficult fight. It was 3 or 4 Villains including me and at least 6 Super Heroes, Bizzaro in this case was a simple ground and pound tactics except that he hits like a truck and has many brutal abilities. Both the Hero and Villain characters combined managed to beat him down to 88% before he knocked everyone out.

Freerun Video
A quick few minute video of the movement aspect of DC Universe Online. I chose acrobatics as my main which allows Warband to run faster then normal while the ability to climb almost anything.
