We've been hearing about <a href="http://www.massively.com/category/dc-universe-online"><em>DC Universe Online's</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/the-last-laugh">Last Laugh</a> DLC pack for a while now. Fortunately for fans of diabolical supervillains everywhere, launch day is finally here. The pack represents the largest PvP content update since <em>DCUO's</em> release, and it also puts the Joker on center stage as the key figure in a "criminally twisted new storyline."<br />
<br />
If that's not enough to whet your whistle, Last Laugh also features new shield powers, safe house battles, headquarters battles, and legends characters including Power Girl, Ursa, Bizarro, and various Lantern and Sinestro notables.<br />
<br />
Last Laugh is free for legendary players or $9.99 for free and premium members. You can download it via the PlayStation Network or the in-game marketplace.<br />

Shields generally aren't thought of as a weapon; they're usually seen as the exact <em>opposite</em> of a weapon. But in the superheroic milieu, all that changes. A shield is something to be used offensively, and in <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/DC-Universe-Online/">DC Universe Online</a></em>'s next major update, players will begin wielding the shield for their own superheroic (or villainous) capers. <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/05/17/exclusive-behind-the-scenes-look-at-dc-universe-onlines-next-weapon-type-the-shield/">A recent interview</a> with creative director <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Jens-Andersen/">Jens Andersen</a> discusses the intended role of the shield in combat.<br />
<br />
Andersen explains that while the new weapon comes along in a very PvP-centered update, it's not meant to be used specifically for PvP; the team just wants to have something new for players to enjoy no matter what. In play, shields are similar to a staff weapon, but unlike most other weapons, the shield can continue to build a combo after a heavy strike by moving back to light strikes. That should make the shield a very aggressive option -- perhaps odd for something that's <a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/05/17/exclusive-behind-the-scenes-look-at-dc-universe-onlines-next-weapon-type-the-shield/">not generally thought of as a weapon</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/17/dc-universe-online-shows-off-the-new-shield-weapon/">DC Universe Online shows off the new Shield weapon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 17 May 2012 23:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/soe">Sony Online Entertainment</a> is bringing out the big guns for its next <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/dc-universe-online"><em>DC Universe Online</em></a> content patch. As we reported <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/08/the-joker-returns-to-dc-universe-online-in-upcoming-dlc-the-las/">last week</a>, the Joker is set to return for The Last Laugh, and fortunately for everyone, his voiceover duties will be handled by none other than Mark Hamill.<br />
<br />
Hamill is joined by DC stalwart Arleen Sorkin (that's Harley Quinn to you, mistah), and Adam Baldwin returns to the role of Superman for the first time since <em>DCUO's</em> launch. The Last Laugh also features a new shield weapon, four new safe house battles, and 8v8 throw-downs in both the Watchtower and the Hall of Doom.<br />
<br />
The Last Laugh will be freely available to legendary <em>DCUO</em> members, while free and premium players can purchase it via the in-game marketplace, the official website, or the PlayStation Network.<br />

	<em><a href="http://www.massively.com/category/dc-universe-online">DC Universe Online</a></em> players, prepare yourselves: The Joker's back, and he wants to put a smile on your face. The Clown Prince of Crime is making his grand return to <em>DCUO</em> in the game's upcoming DLC pack, The Last Laugh. Not to be confused with the renowned crossover comic story arc, <em>DCUO</em>'s The Last Laugh "will pit players against each other in high-intensity multiplayer brawls, feature an all-new weapon, and introduce new Light-Powered Legends PvP characters." The new weapon in question isn't much of a weapon at all, but if Captain America has taught us anything, it's that even a shield can be lethal in the right hands. Now players will be able to slam, bash, and <a href="http://superdickery.com/images/stories/seduction/wank.jpg">wank</a> to their hearts' content with the new shield weapon type.<br />
	<br />
	And players will need every trick they can get to succeed in the new Safe House Battles, which are 4v4 PvP brawls that involve players invading one anothers' safe houses in order to complete a number of objectives. So much for safe houses being... well, safe. Players thirsting for larger-scale combat will be at home in the new Headquarter Battles, which see eight heroes squaring off against eight villains as they try to take control of the Hall of Doom and the Watchtower, respectively. And finally, the game's first light-powered Legend characters will be making an appearance in The Last Laugh, allowing players to take control of the Green Lanterns' Kilowog and Sinestro Corps' Amon Sur.<br />
	<br />
	The Last Laugh will be available in June for free to Legendary members and for purchase on the market for Free and Premium players. For the full details, check out the official announcement at the <em>DCUO</em> site.</div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/08/the-joker-returns-to-dc-universe-online-in-upcoming-dlc-the-las/">The Joker returns to DC Universe Online in upcoming DLC, The Last Laugh</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 08 May 2012 14:30:00 EST.
