Included in the update is a new raid that teams up Superman and Lex Luthor in defense of the Forturess of Solitude. They've also thrown in a new 16-player PvP map set , as well as a 4-player Batcave alert. Of course, the customary bug fixes are here, only, that it takes away from the normal because the update comes at an enormous 3.7GB.
