The registration for the beta started on July 20, 2010, and let users choose the platform upon which they wanted to beta test the game. On December 14, a beta was released on the PlayStation Network for all PlayStation Plus members.
On January 5, 2011, the beta came to an end with a send-off event dubbed "Battle of Legends". Developers announced in-game of two meet-up locations, one in Gotham's Botanical Gardens, and another at Centennial Park in Metropolis, where Future Batman faced off against Future Joker, and Superman fought Lex Luthor, respectively. The PVP event allowed players on the hero and villain sides to take on the opposing iconic heroes/villains as well as their army of players.
During these battles, for as long as they lasted, Brainiac (at character level 60) and his minions would show up and wreak havoc on the player base. Each event ended with an announcement that Brainiac had taken over the world, resulting in each beta server shutting down (as an intentional part of the story). Sonystation's DCUO forums similarly shut down, scheduled to re-open on January 11, when the game officially released.
