In this DLC, Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, has declared war against the mortal world, but Wonder Woman and her allies struggle to stop the queen's madness. Gotham City has become the center of a civil war between these two powerful factions. Heroes take on missions to help Wonder Woman defend the city while Villains join Hippolyta and Circe to help destroy it. Each mission is repeatable and can be accomplished in a few minutes. Although intended for solo play, these missions occur in a shared space, allowing for players to team-up if they wish.
