Background

Players pick three members from a roster of twelve characters from the show and switch between them across fifteen levels. Each character has unique special abilities, strengths and weaknesses, levels up through missions, and has at least three costumes that change both looks and play. Equipment can be bought from Red Tornado and training done with Black Canary, and some missions bring in Justice League members such as Superman, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Batman.

The game was first scheduled for February 2013 with the first-season line-up, but after the second season premiered the roster changed and the release slipped to September and then November 2013. Pre-production moved between Little Orbit's in-house Game Machine branch, its Madrid contractor Freedom Factory and a Melbourne studio.

Reviews were negative; IGN gave it 4.8 and called it a listless squad-based action RPG.
