The Flash Speeds into DC Universe Online December 6
Written Tuesday, November 29, 2011 By Dave Olsen

Sony Online Entertainment has announced that the second DLC expansion for DC Universe Online, Lightning Strikes, will be arriving on PSN on December 6.  In addition to the Flash and the stable of characters from his comic book series, DCUO will be adding electricity based powers and a new environment, the Flash's stomping grounds, Central City. 

If you have a Legendary level subscription ($14.99 per month or have purchased a lifetime membership), Lightning Strikes will be free.  If you have Premium or Free access, it will cost you $9.99.  Of course, by purchasing Lightning Strikes or the previous expansion, Fight for the Light, you will be bumped up to a Premium subscription automatically.

Check out the short, but pretty sweet trailer below.

@2

It is free to play, aside from buying the exspansion and the actual game.

@2 It's free to play but you need to have the $14.99 a month subscription of Legendary to be able to unlock trophies. At least you get all the DLC free when you have your subscription.

If you do spend $9.99 for the DLC then you can download and install it whenever you want while playing even without the Legendary status, but you still won't be able to get the trophies. So in the end, Legendary status is the way to go.

@6...They are, but let's say that you levelled up two characters to level 30 and then paid for a month of Legendary. Right after you load those characters, the trophies will unlock.

I don't have the game, but The Flash as expansion? One of the most popular DC characters and they have him be a DLC?

Finally a date announced, looks like on Dec 6th I'm going Legendary.

@10
I agree, when it comes to other forms of media that isn't the comics, The Flash always gets a raw deal and its criminal.
