Software's complete.


The game is largely considered incomplete among pinball enthusiasts, but this is chalked up due to its relative newness. Multiballs are currently disproportionately valuable compared to the rest of the game, and there are a number of unused features and lights. Like with ''Pinball/BatmanStern'', ''Pinball/SpiderManStern'', ''Pinball/{{ACDC}}'', and ''Pinball/{{Metallica}}'', Stern intends to release updates to improve the game and add more features.
