Ra's al Ghul, one of Batman's deadliest foes (and the grandfather of Bats' son), is making his devilish debut in DC Universe Online. The latest free update for the Sony Online Entertainment MMO introduces the international terrorist and a slew of new missions that include a few that tie in with the League of Assassins.

The free update features the following content:

• Four-Man Combat Alert: Players will  earn Marks of Distinction, good towards purchasing tier two gear pieces, for completing this  challenging combat encounter within the League of Assassin’s Stronghold and those who survive the combat will be also be able to earn other valuable loot items including Ra’s al Ghul’s cape.
• New Loot Drop: Collect a full set of League of Assassins gear.
• Investigate the League: New investigation and brief detailing the League of Assassins will be rewarded with a Kabuki Ninja Mask.

Special Event

• Poison Ivy vs. Swamp Thing: Poison Ivy wishes to gain additional power by deepening her connection to the Green – the mystical realm connecting all plant life. The only thing in her way … Swamp Thing!Sensing Poison Ivy’s malign intent through his own connection to the Green, Swamp Thing coordinates the help of his fellow heroes to stop her and her recruited faction of villains. Heroes will be aligned with Swamp Thing, villains with Poison Ivy.

New Hard Mode Alert

• Oolong Island Civil War: Chang Tzu and T.O. Morrow have started a coup on the “mad science” independent island state. Chang Tzu is publicly working against the government of Oolong with Morrow only pretending to try to stop the chaos. Players must help Oolong scientists flee the island with their important research but the exodus will require the help of both heroes and villains to destroy the technology before it destroys the island.
  • Hard Mode: Harder version requires four people and offers new loot.

The free content update is now available for both the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game. SOE also recently sent out a patch to fix the freezing bug found in the PS3 version but that didn't seem to do much good.
