They have Batman (dark attack), but the Flash (lightning attack) is much more preferable.
Got stuck with Wonder Woman's green attack (which was hoping for) , but you only get the heroes by spending the money/stones. Try to go through the dungeon levels, and you end up with the villains, whose attacks have double-edged penalties.

(Yep. Total P&D addict, just not on Facebook. Cool )

Correction: It's Supergirl without no spaces. Also, it's Lex Luthor, not Lex Luther.

It's interesting that the female characters look more animesque than the male characters, who look more like the original American comics style. Not that I'm complaining, Arrow looks badass and Wonder Woman and Supergirl look cute.

I guess DC is starting to pull a Marvel and try to market stuff in Japan now? It's a start, I suppose.

Wow. Could they make the Hulk clone look more like a Hulk clone and less like his comic book self?

Ivy and Doomsday have their pre New52 design for some reason.

I think it's the same reason why the Kotobukiya Bishoujo figures are extremely popular. I remember reading a statement from a Marvel or maybe DC representative at a convention also stating so. Every bishoujo figure's prices also skyrocket once they go out of print since the demand is so high (the Poison Ivy is $225 on Amazon, when they're normally $60 - $70)

There have always been classic comic-styled Marvel & DC statues for their female characters but they've never received the same attention. The Kotobukiya bishoujo line reaches western audiences that don't normally watch anime. This Bishoujo Starfire Kotobukiya DC Comics Statue Review shows why the anime-esque style is popular choice.

(I thought Solomon Grundy was the official DC Hulk clone!)

If you mean Doomsday, think he starts the resemble his original comic form once you power him up to his higher levels...

Too bad, as tablet games go, the mix of Match-3 and evolvable Poke-monsters is not only crack-addictive for those who like either, it stomps the sad cheapjack, narcissistic, overbearing fraud that is Candy Crush Saga into the ground. Smile

Every i-game nowadays is designed to enslave its users with Facebook clubs and in-game purchases, and the test for a good game is whether I can get hooked without either.
And, well, I haven't been this hooked since Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
