Green Lantern's light powers will be added to DC Universe Online in an upcoming downloadable content update. We got all the details at Fan Faire!

New Alerts, Duo and Iconic Gear

In addition the the new light powers, the downloadable content pack introduces new alerts and a duo that are all based around the Green Lantern Corps.

• At the launch of DC Universe Online, Brainiac set up a logic battery to drain all the power from the rings. Heroes and villains will go with Hal Jordan and Sinestro into S.T.A.R. Labs to destroy the batteries and reboot the power of the Corps.
• Another alert will take you to Hal Jordan's home of Coast City to deal with the Red Lantern Corps, who draw on the power of rage. “They're mindless, terrifying, powerful guys,” Andersen said, noting that they're going to be tearing apart Ferris Aircraft. There will also be a duo in Coast City.
• Green Lantern fans will definitely want to check out the Oa alert, which will feature an attempted prison break. Heroes must stop it, while villains will attempt to help the prisoners escape. The alert will include iconic characters from the comics, including Guy Gardner and Lyssa Drak.

Players will also get the chance to earn new iconic gear sets based on the Green Lantern Corps suit and the Sinestro Corps suit. Collecting this gear will give you the chance to look like you're truly a member of the Corps.

The “Fight for the Light” downloadable content pack will be available for $9.99 for both PC and PlayStation 3 later this summer.
