Here are two new screenshots sent to us for the nwe Justice League Heroes game. Normally, I'd write this game off as another lame attempt at turning a hit TV show into a game but since it's from the folks at Snowblind Studios, I'm really excited to see how this game turns out. I've lost many hours to Champions of Norrath and Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance so you can't blame me for having high hopes for Justice League Heroes. Here's the press release:
