Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

[Neptune]

Does this game follow a story from the comics? What are the odds of Deathstroke being a playable character?

I found one thing to like about this game. Samoa Joe of pro wrestling fame, is doing the voice for King Shark. That's cool.

That's him? Wow impressive voice work but I think he's done voice work for other games as well or something

 

[Silvermoth]

Cool! Although I feel a bit weird that his dorsal fin is so much smaller than the comics run, at least that I can remember. Bit emasculating haha.

It’s interesting that they have the voice ready for the game but not the movie. Maybe they could use him for the movie also?

Watch them bring back Batman as an ally to help take down the Justice League after his supposed death at the end of Arkham Knight.

I didn't know this is taking place in Metropolis.... this should have been a Superman game especially there was an easter egg in Arkham Knight. I want to say I hope they make a Superman game after this, but its kinda hard to wish for something from Rocksteady/wb that would come until the late 2020s.

 

[Iceman]

Good. I wanted that.

Wishful thinking on my end perhaps, but I hope this game is somewhat of an extensive 'test' for Superman as a character in 1 of their games. I hope there's a point in the game in which the SS breaks Brainiac's hold on Superman & you've an opportunity to use him as a character even if only briefly if only to just maybe gauge player reaction to how he plays.

 

[The Infernal]

I think a playable Superman would be the only thing to pique my interest.

 

[Zorro]

Very disappointed it's a shared universe! How did Floyd/Deadpool turn black anyway? I know they probably did it because of the first movie but he was already established in Arkham City and Origins

yes. and now that they've created the assets for Superman, Metropolis, and Brainiac, perhaps they can use those assets in a solo Superman game down the road.

I think that is what's bugging me the most about this game's existence. It's like literally rubbing salt in the wounds (and in the faces) of all the Superman fans who have been wanting FOR YEARS for Rocksteady to do a Superman game and finally give Superman the video game love and respect that Batman got with the Arkham games.

And then, seemingly every year, there has been some new rumor or leak that Rocksteady or WB games is working on a new Superman game. And every time, it leads to false hope and disappointment as said rumor fizzles out.

And now, FINALLY, we get the elements for a Superman game (Superman, open-world Metropolis, Brainiac) and it's for a Suicide Squad game. Where Superman is "bad" and we have to "kill" him.

I mean. It's not even a Justice League game where we play as the JL to stop Brainiac in an open-world Metropolis. I'd be more interested in THAT game than I am in a SS game with only 4 playable characters.

 

[Boom]

This "evil" Superman thing is getting really ****ing old, and I'm not even a huge Superman fan.

You know, i can see this being the case.
Some test to see what they can do with Superman in video game form, where they can make the character vunerable.
And that works better when he is a obstacle you need to overcome.
I dont expect him to be in any form playable since its a SS game above everything.

But i can see this being a Test of some sort for maybe a superman game in the future.

As for this being allegedly in the arkham universe, not a big fan.
I would rather see this be its own universe...but lets see what they do with this first.

  Yeah, I’m surprised they’ve reused it so much across different media.

agreed.

Another thing that I don't like is if its not Batman getting a videogame. Its his side characters. We are getting Gotham Knights and I see Harley Quinn as the face of the Suicide Squad in this game.

It would have been refeshing if it was a Superman game and the supporting characters/enemies are from his catalogue. And even though the Justice League are appearing here, why would I want to see them as the enemies/bosses.

They could have made this a Superman game as last Superman game was a critically pannedmovie tie in. And if they wanted more playable characters then they could have made this as a Justice League game. Suicide Squad just doesn't appeal to me just likein the movies.

To be fair, Harley is for some time now the face of the Suicide Squad.
For years DC tries to make Harley Quinn one of the cornerstones.

But i get what you mean.
Yeah i like the Suicide Squad and the cast of characters we have seen in this so far...but there is such a huge pool of characters to choose from that havent been used at all.
We got a lot of stuff of the suicide squad already, would have been neat for something else.
Sure a cool Suicide Squad game would be neat, but there is so much stuff they could do with the DC license.

Not counting an Injustice 3, it would be the late 20s until there's a new DC game after this one unless Rocksteady pumps out a new game in 2025 or 2026. Well the other studios owned by DC could release games after this, but I have yet to play Arkham Origins, so I don't know what to expect with the quality of the games from WB Montreal. And I have no zero interest in Lego games.

Arkham Origins is excellent, it plays like all the other Arkham games & if I didn't know it was produced by a different company, you'd never know just playing it IMO.
