This shift, exemplified by the "Hot Bat Summer" promotion featuring DC characters, contrasts with the game's previously more conservative design choices. The change appears to be a strategic response to declining revenue and increased competition, notably from Marvel Rivals, which has featured revealing skins since its launch. AI
