Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguegot a teaser for the upcoming video game thanks to a new poster for the upcoming DC Fandome event this October. The poster features Harley Quinn, King Shark, Captain Boomerang, and Deadshot, who many know from the recentSuicide Squadfilms.
TheSuicide Squadvideo game will follow the release of the movie of the same name by including the same characters (Harley Quinn, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang). The game will also include Superman as the main villain instead of a foe from either of theSuicide Squadmovies. Funny enough,James Gunn considered making Superman the villainofThe Suicide Squad, which would’ve tied in well with the game. However, Superman seems to be without an actor following theJustice League debacle with Warner Bros.

TheSuicide Squadvideo game will be Rocksteady’s next follow-up after its acclaimedBatman Arkhamseries, and both games take place in the same universe.Suicide Squadhas been on a rising streak in recent years, which is good considering the fallout from the DC film ofthe same name in from David Ayer. Released in 2016, Ayer’sSuicide Squadreceived mixed reviews, which have been attributed to the conflicting creative visions of the Warner Bros. executives and the director.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas yet to drop any gameplay footage, which has fans anticipating what to expect. The game would be a new step forward in Rocksteady’s DC game universe, which many thought would end withBatmanbut is now continuing with the villains/anti-heroes, as well as Superman. If the title is anything to go off, this game will be adding new characters into the universe from the Justice League who weren’tseen in theArkhamgames.
It would be nice to see some callbacks or easter eggs to eithertheSuicide Squadfilmsor theArkhamgames, but until fans get a look at gameplay there won’t be much to expect. DC has a good track record at making high-quality games, so here’s to hoping this one performs very well.
On the flip side, if this game does poorly then it doesn’t mean the end for the famous team of anti-heroes, it would just be one misstep. Fans are waiting for more content to come out following the well-receivedSuicide Squadmovie from Gunn this year, so they shouldn’t worry since there will possibly be more come.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis expected to be released in 2022.
