Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

View source

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a video game based on DC's Suicide Squad. Developed by Rocksteady Studios. It was released on February 2, 2024 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X and Microsoft Windows. It is a spin-off and the fifth main game in the Batman: Arkham Series, taking place five years after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight. A tie-in comic, Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum, was also released alongside the game.

In the game, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark - members of "Task Force X" - are ordered by unit leader Amanda Waller to head into the city of Metropolis to stop the alien invader Brainiac and kill the members of the Justice League supposedly brainwashed by him.

Like the earlier Arkhamverse games, combat plays to the strengths of each member of the Suicide Squad, mixed with elements of gun-play. Unlike the earlier Arkhamverse games, Kill the Justice League allows players to tackle the story by themselves or upwards to three other players via Co-Op Multiplayer.

Trivia

  • This is the second game in the Arkham series to have an online multiplayer mode, with the first being Batman: Arkham Origins.
  • The music that plays during the sequence when Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang and King Shark are fighting over the nanobomb injector in Arkham Asylum is “(If) You Want Trouble”, a 2012 song by Nick Waterhouse.
  • This is the first Arkhamverse game to not feature Batman as the title or main character.
    • At random points when playing in the open world, Batman will actually watch and study any of the fights between the Suicide Squad and Brainiac's forces from afar. However, once he is dealt with later in the story this will no longer happen.
  • The game features three members of the Suicide Squad that were killed off before the events of the game or have been changed in some sort of way; King Shark died in Batman: Assault on Arkham, Captain Boomerang was killed during the Arkham Knight comics, and Deadshot is a completely new person.
    • Boomerang and Shark's deaths were featured in now non-canon media, explaining why they are alive and no one questions it.
    • The Deadshot of the past Arkham games is confirmed to have travelled from Earth-2, explaining why there are two Floyd Lawton's in the Arkhamverse.
  • The game's cover art is designed to look similar to how the camera is positioned during the game over screens in past Arkhamverse games.
  • The game received post-launch content, such as new playable characters, new additional missions and new weapons.
  • The game marks Kevin Conroy's final contribution to the Arkhamverse, as he passed away in November 2022, not long after he had finished work on the game, and marking his final video game voice role as Batman.
    • Following the entirety of the game's plot and cutscenes being leaked online after it's early access release, the character's fate in the game (being shot in the head by Harley Quinn) had garnered significant backlash, with many fans considering the way Batman's story was concluded to be incredibly disrespectful to not only the Arkhamverse as a whole and its version of the character, but to Kevin Conroy himself since the game was released after his passing.
      • However, one YouTube fan discovered 12 hidden calendars in the game. When the matching letter is found for each, it spells out "He will return" with December 14 marked with a Bat symbol. This implied Rocksteady already planned to bring Batman back in foresight of the fans' love of Kevin Conroy.
        • This also supported datamined audio related to the Flash that revealed that possibly, over the following seasons, the Justice League would be brought back to life, as not only does the audio have a character refer to the Flash recovering after his "resurrection" and Green Lantern being rescued, along with audio of the Flash himself not sure how he was alive again, but Nuufolau Joel Seanoa (credited as "Somoa Joe"), the voice actor for King Shark, revealed that Conroy had actually recorded more lines for Batman that wasn't featured yet in the game, further supporting the "He will return" message.
        • Following the Season of Freeze update this was proven true with the Flash's revival and rescue, with following Season updates seeing the return of the League members killed by the Suicide Squad. More importantly, in the final update, it was revealed that the League members killed by the Squad were actually clones created by Brainiac, and that the real ones, including Batman, were imprisoned by the supervillain the entire time.
  • This game is dedicated to the memory of not only Kevin Conroy, but also that of Matthew White, one of the senior AI programmers working on the game. According to his younger sister, he had died of excessive emotional stress to his system caused by the constant criticism by beta testers during the production of the game. He had been frustrated by the constant criticism to such a point where the game had changed him, emotionally, and he had taken the negative comments personally, despite advice from his sister not to take said comments personally. A memorial to him was added to the game in the square metropolis, which was approved by his sister, who cannot play console games anymore, as she does not want to be reminded of White’s death. A memorial to white is also included in the game’s credits.
    • During the production of Season 4 Nick Maw-Naing, one of the advanced animators for the game had passed away as well from unknown causes. The credits were updated accordingly to include a memorial to him.
  • Any attempt to press the melee button in the Hall of Justice will result in the currently selected character to experience a strong electric shock in their head.
  • Harley rejecting her Knight outfit and choosing to create a new one keeps the theme of retuning characters always getting a new outfit. Plus Harley doesn't want the clothes associated with the memories of how Henry Adams manipulated her into getting the other Joker infected killed.
  • If enough time passes without selecting a mission, a random squad member will call the player out and pester them into picking a mission.
