Picking up where Injustice left off, Batman struggles against Superman’s regime, as a new threat appears that will put Earth’s very existence at risk.

Pros:

• Crafting to make better gear.
• You can earn re roll currency that allows you to re roll gear and makes it the same level as you are currently. Really handy when you have low or high level gear.

Cons:

• Doesn’t explain currency or crafting mechanics very well.
• Customizing is fiddly thanks to having to go in one menu to do it then click through to each section. Its just long winded.
• No notification of Guild rewards waiting or progress.
• AI can get a bit cheap.
