    NEW CELEBRATION: SUPERMAN'S 80TH

    Today, the celebration of Superman's 80th anniversary is in full swing. The first of three content releases in honor of the Man of Steel is now live, with two more on the way in June. Doomsday is back and bigger than ever, and that's never good news for Superman. Luckily, this time he has back up in the form of exobyte-enhanced heroes, and based on how strong Doomsday is looking and the looks those exobyte-enhanced villains are giving, he's going to need it.

    Part I features a new version of open world Metropolis, and the ongoing battle between Doomsday and Superman. The celebration is available for all players level 10+, so no matter who you are or how long you've worn your cape or cowl, you can join in and play your part.

    Yo please explain why counter for iconics and Doomsday doesn't go up after every kill and repell... also is there a secret on the ambush bug loot drops only plague and tribute drops
  10. Eve YouTuber

    I got 2 for Doomsday, but only 1 for Bizzaro (And I killed him 3 times) I think you have to do it during the mission.
  11. Asphaltcowboy89 New Player

    What did you receive for the ambush bug mission

    Yeah this is really fun content, and a great style. Well done all round.

    My one complaint: Running that damned Easter egg hunt for magazines which took me over an hour(would have been longer if someone didn't help me with a couple) for 1 lousy MoV. Otherwise, not bad.
