Trivia

• This is the first time an episodic open-world zone (since Central City 40 episodes ago) has Exo-Material nodes available, and they are also available in the open-world zones of following episodes.
• An open-world zone labelled Washington, D.C. is briefly available at the beginning of the episode for villains. It is devoid of most NPCs, and villains must demolish a statue (resembling Uncle Sam) and replace it with a hologram of Lex Luthor for the introductory mission.
• This is the first time Washington, D.C. is depicted in DC Universe Online, and the first time any real-life location is depicted, other than Area 51, which in real life is highly classified and not open to the public. It is largely kept the same in Death Metal Washington, D.C. in Dark Knights (Episode).
  • Real life landmarks that are explicitly named in-game via teleporter options include: the Lincoln Memorial, the Reflecting Pool, the Washington Monument, and the South Lawn. However, inexplicably, in-game the whole Washington, D.C. is turned anticlockwise by 90 degrees; in real life, for example, the Lincoln Memorial faced east, but in-game, it faced north.
  • Real life landmarks that are recognizable, but not named in-game include the World War II Memorial and the Constitution Gardens Pond.
  • The White House and United States Capitol are visible, but out of bounds. Due to the map rotation, the South Lawn in-game is to the east rather than to the south of the White House as the name suggests.
  • The Lincoln Memorial in-game has a replica (which can be read as-is or interacted with to get a text pop-up) of the real-life inscription of the Gettysburg Address next to the Statue of Abraham Lincoln. The exact wording and punctuation of that speech is not certain and there are many slightly different copies; oddly, the inscription in DC Universe Online uses the same copy as the real-life Lincoln Memorial, but not in the text pop-up.

Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, no long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

-Abraham Lincoln
