The Flash and his city come to the MMO at the speed of the internet

DC Universe Online is nearing the end of its first year of operation, and after going free to play months ago, the MMORPG has seen a bigger audience than ever. Today those new players got a big chunk of new content to explore, as the comic-based game got its second expansion pack. Titled Lightning Strikes and focusing on DC icon The Flash and his hometown, the DLC even has a fancy new trailer to accompany the launch…

We got to play the expansion last week, as you can read in our preview. The new series of raids and other goodies features the Flash Museum and other interesting setting, plus famous Flash rogues like Professor Zoom. The DLC will cost you $9.99 on PS3 and PC.
