  • 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 – Livewire, The Top, The Trickster, Static and more. The characters will be featured as new “Inspired By” options for players who choose to create a new character inspired by some of DC’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.

The Lightning Strikes DLC pack will be accessible for free for all of the game’s Legendary players and available for purchase for $9.99 through PC and PS3.

A release date is to be announced.
