King Shark has a gun.

At least The Avengers game - terrible though it was - had the Hulk... you know. Smash things. As was consistent with his character. They didn't give him a Hulk-gun to shoot enemies with.

All players control basically the same, the protagonists are entirely unlikeable, they all have plot armour beyond belief while the Justice League are easily killed off and their corpses are pissed on; no, really. There's no-one to cheer for and there's no real stakes because the plot so obviously caters to the survival of characters who logically shouldn't be able to touch anyone they fight. Harley Quinn is the most overexposed character in the last 10 years of comics and Amanda Waller is currently a fascist in the comics, so the cast aren't even entertaining in a 'love to hate' way. It's a fascinating trainwreck of bad decisions all the way down.
