Now that the first monthly patch is live in DC Universe Online, it's a good time for the development team to take a moment to reflect on what was good and not so hot in this first update -- as well as let us know what's planned for the next step. Game Director Chris Cao and Art Director Mark Anderson sat down to talk with fans about just that through SOE's Stickam account earlier today and did just that.
In next month's update, which is being called Update 2, players will have the chance to face off against The Penguin as the DC Universe Online team continues the gang war storyline that is currently in game. Along with The Penguin are a series of penguin henchmen players will battle, including robot penguins! Two-Face will also show up in game to take part in the ongoing gang war and to become a new Legends character for players to unlock.
Knowing SOE, we'll likely see a reveal of more information on Update 2 and The Penguin sometime in the coming weeks. We'll be certain to keep an eye out for any umbrellagrams and bring you news as it develops!

On the game forums it looks like the next update will include a green lantern/sinestro corp duo, Two Face as a Legends unlock, and the final Batcave raid. Also, some sort of St. Patricks Day event featuring Mr. Mtzlplks (sp).

Oswalt Chesterfield Cobblepot.
One of the greatest comic villains of all time.

Still waiting to actually be a Green Lantern (since Blackest Night apparently hasn't happened in this version of the DCU yet).

It does feel around the 52 era...however looking at Tim Drake, as shown in the game makes it seem much earlier than that. He looks to be no more than 15...maybe 16 if you push it.
That would put him somewhere around Graduation Day.
Until you look at Wondergirl...who seems way past that time.
It really makes it almost impossible to put the gamer into a specific time frame from current continuity.

DCUO doesn't take place in a specific time of the DC Universe. The NPC's all use their most Iconic Image.
There also won't be a "Blackest Night" but DCUO will have its own story line of the rings that leads into Light Powers being put into the game. There may be Black Lanterns but don't expect the comic book to be ported over to the game. Which is a good thing. Originality is good.

While I'm not sure about the Black Lanterns getting a spot in the game, their oath is already part of the "Oaths of Light" investigation.

They are also finally letting people have control of their own groups, so if your friend gets booted in a raid you can just reinvite him. Seems simple enough. They are also putting in the second round of animation/pvp exploit fixes. They were discussing some sort of pvp badge revamping when the feed went dead so I expect to see something about that in the next few days.

For me, the sound and the video get out of sync, but it may not happen to everyone. I was pretty impressed with they're upcoming updates and definitely agree on they're self-given report card. Looking forward to the upcoming additions/changes.
