USA Today scored an interview with DC Universe Online artist and project overseer Jim Lee.

While short, it's one of the first interviews about the game about which very little is known. Check out a snip:

Q: How will the DC Universe Online game fit into the DC Comics universe?

A: The game is based on the prime DC universe but not necessarily at the exact same point in time. That said, we are striving to have DC Universe-defining story lines unveil both in print and online as simultaneously as possible. ... (From the beginning) we actually have a story line. I can't really divulge the details, but it's organic and it fits into the DC universe mythos. You understand why all these characters appear, there is a reason for it, and these characters are going to serve some bigger function in this bigger story down that line. And we're going to have something that ties into the print comics and some things in the print comics that tie into the video game.
