“What if Batman’s parents had never died, or if Superman teamed up with Lex Luthor? We wanted to explore the idea of time travel and really dig into these alternate realities,” said Jens Andersen, Creative Director, DC Universe Online. “We have selected some truly compelling narratives to explore in Origin Crisis, enabling players to alter the core motivations of their favorite heroes and villains and to see how the world changes as a result.”

In Origin Crisis – the space/time continuum has been compromised, and though Brainiac has been defeated, war wages on. Players must battle through new Raids and Operations and fight alongside Future Batman or Future Lex Luthor in order to shift the balance of destiny for Heroes and Villains forever. The two will summon their forces in an attempt to modify fundamental events in the histories of iconic characters and transform their futures. As the story unfolds, players gain access to an assortment of new multiplayer adventures and solo simulations.

Origin Crisis features:

• New Quantum Controller Power Set – Manipulate time, control gravity and twist the very fabric of space itself!
• Two challenging new Raids
• Two new Hero Origin Operations
• Two new Villain Origin Operations
• Iconic Anomalies – Two new Solo Simulation Challenges
• New Gear, including Tier 5 PvE Gear and new Iconic-inspired Gear
• New Feats, Collections and Trophies
