Eight years following its launch DC Universe Online is answering the existential question of MMOs — how to stay fresh and relevant? — by leaning on the interest in its namesake’s cinematic doings.

The superhero MMO just launched Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, an adaptation of the classic 1984 story arc (which itself was adapted in a direct-to-video animated film last year). It’s also no coincidence that it launched July 18, right as hype was building for Titans, which will inaugurate the DC Universe streaming service for Warner Bros. Digital later this year. (There’s also the lighthearted cartoon Teen Titans Go! to the Movies, which premiered on Friday.)
