When I read the title, I thought they might be talking about Washington, D.C. In fact, I think that might actually be a better idea for a MMO.

You've apparently never been to Washington. A Washington, DC MMO would mostly involve drinking coffee while talking about politics with ivy leage grads, boring cocktail parties, and avoiding the urge to shove tourists down escalators.

Apparently, what is going to happen is Batman and Superman are going to start franchises. You pay up and receive your starter kit, (lycra, tights and underpants) and you can be the fully licensed(TM) Batman(R) or Superman(C) in your local franchising area.

Batman(R) and Superman(C) look forward to working with you to unleash your mutual synergy and craft moneymaking opporutnities! All this requires is one low, low monthly fee. Order in the next ten minutes and receive your complentary DVD of Bruce Wayne's motiviational seminar!
