ooh i wasn't aware of this! That's awesome! I knew you could use the eye cam as a web cam though... 😮

SAN DIEGO – November 17, 2011 – Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) will soon launch its second Downloadable Content (DLC) pack for DC Universe Online with the worldwide release of Lightning Strikes, later this year. Launching simultaneously on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC, Lightning Strikes introduces Electricity Powers – the game's eighth power set – and a new adventure starring the iconic speedster The Flash."In this DLC pack, fans have the opportunity to immerse themselves in another great character and action-packed story from the DC Universe," said Jens Andersen, Creative Director for DC Universe Online. "With exciting gameplay, a new power set and new locations to share with your friends, we packed a whole new kind of fun into this DLC pack and are eager for our players to dive into another legendary adventure."
In addition to the new Electricity Power set, DC Universe Online players will also be able to interact with The Flash-themed characters and content with new maps and features:
Central City – An all-new map that offers players a more open world experience that provides on-going gameplay, with solo and group missions.
The Flash Museum Duo – Players can now experience the Central City of today and tomorrow. In The Flash Museum Duo, players can travel back in time to the very moment when Barry Allen became The Flash and battle foes inside the Central City Police Station!
Electricity Powers – Players now have the opportunity to get the new Electricity Power set for current and new characters. The new Electricity Power set allows players to leverage the lightning power of electricity and use new types of attacks in combat. Electricity Powers include the Tesla Ball, which creates a floating ball of electricity that zaps nearby enemies; the Shockwave, which shoots streams of electric bolts at enemies; and Ionic Drain, which drains energy from the environment to replenish a player's health while simultaneously damaging surrounding enemies.
New Gear – Players can earn all-new gear sets including the new Zoom-inspired gear set for villains, and the new Black Lightning-inspired gear set for heroes.
New Characters – Lightning Strikes brings players new iconic DC Universe characters including Livewire, Black Lightning, The Top, The Trickster, Static and more. New characters – such as Livewire – will be featured as new "Inspired By" options for players who can choose to create a new character inspired by some of DC Universe's legendary characters. Additional new characters – such as Black Lighting – serve as a bounty mission that players can fight if they choose to be a villain.
Lightning Strikes offers players a new story-driven adventure that offers up even more of the intense and fast-paced combat that distinguishes DC Universe Online, a game focused on superhero combat set in locations where gamers can showcase over-the-top powers in epic battles. The Flash adds another legendary superhero for players to battle against or alongside on their journey to becoming the next legend.
DC Universe Online's Lightning Strikes DLC pack will be accessible for free for all of the game's Legendary players and available for purchase for $9.99 USD for all Free and Premium players from the PlayStation® Network Store, through the in-game Marketplace and on the PC from the DCUniverseOnline.com website.

Sweet, I'll be getting this update. Lightning power sounds awesome and being able to go to Central City instead of bouncing between Gotham and Metropolis sounds great, too.
I'm hoping we'll continue to get more cities to operate out of instead of the main two. Coast City should have been added in the GL expansion, imo.
Here's hoping the next expansion will go more cosmic; I specifically remember the creators of the game in a video interview discussing how they planned an alert/raid on Apokolips where you fight Darkseid.

That would be pretty sweet.
As far as locations go, I agree, though I think we really need to get Themiscyra in there too.
I'm loving DCU online, it looks amazing the combat system is great. I'm glad they are adding new content because thats all it's lacking. In a years time this game is going to be massive. I'm not even looking forward to Marvel Universe online. I dunno man I think DCU is getting stronger.
That lightning pack is bought.
Sadly, i do not seem to be having a good time with this game. I got the playstation controller to work for my computer, and yet it seems there is too much lag. I do not seem to be able to achieve any goals ( 2 days trying to kill 10 lieutenants of Grods army). I know when a bad wireless connection is the cause...however my signal has never been stronger, and i have been playing numerous other games which run fine. Looking into the matter, the only answer i can get is that they do not buffer, when a server goes to high population, that they never built in a system to buffer the content. I see the enemies, yet cause no damage (it seems) i take damage at random times etc. My system handles Start Trek online and other games at high end graphics and such, but i even lowered this game to normal. I gotta say the game looks great and i desperately want to be having fun. . I need my hero fix, so i am going to see what i can do. Has anybody gone through these issues or anything close?

I to seem to experience more lag on the pc in comparison to PS3 and imo it feels to flow better on the ps3. Although I don't think i have had as much trouble as your having. With the info provided idk whats wrong or why your lagging....did you try a "hard" connection?
No, i only have access to wireless connection, which is working great for everything else.

this is what's tripping me up because in my case I experience some(very minimal)lag but when I downloaded CoH I couldn't even play its lagging so bad. At my Apt I have the best internet connection that Comcast offers(I also have wireless). So I find it very curious that DCUO is giving you this much trouble. Maybe you could try uninstalling it and re-installing it? I know it's a bit of a hassle but it might work.
I think I want to either form my own league, or join one that's actually organized. The league I'm in now has practically no leadership or teamwork. It's about 30 people deep yet there's no assistance for bounties or missions. Luckily I was powerful enough to take Hawkman and Hawkgirl solo, but whenever I put out a call for an assist it pretty much goes ignored. We should be rolling in packs.
Also, Kilowog is a damn beast. I got cocky after taking down the Hawks and figured I could take him by myself and collect the bounty. I got my ass stomped and luckily was able to raise my shields before I got killed and ran away to recharge. I then flew back and blasted him a couple times before flying off at top speed.
