And so in multiplayer mode character level and the amount purchased for him gains are valued no less than appropriate conducted by "super" and just put a block. By the way, have to fight for the team of three fighters to choose from, and the total number of actors and their variations passed for four decades. In roster includes all the iconic characters of DC - Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Catwoman and many others.
