Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's Future May Lie In Its Past

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of DC Universe gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that Rocksteady’s approach to character selection in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been a rollercoaster ride. On one hand, their willingness to explore the multiverse and introduce new characters is commendable, but on the other, it seems they’ve lost sight of the charm in their existing roster.

The future of the game “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” could hinge on how Rocksteady handles their current character lineup. While introducing fresh DC characters into the game may appear beneficial at first glance, the mixed response towards these new characters suggests that it might be time for a different strategy.

In the movie Suicide Squad, they significantly incorporate the multiverse concept when it comes to introducing new characters. For instance, their portrayal of Mr. Freeze deviates from tradition by transforming him into Victoria Fries, a gender-bent version instead of adapting existing characters from the Arkham universe. In this case, Nora Fries could assume the role of Mrs. Freeze, as she does in DC Comics and is the trigger for Dr. Victor Fries becoming Mr. Freeze in the Arkhamverse. Since the Lazarus Pit, a revival method, exists in the Arkhamverse, Nora’s death could have been rewritten or explained away using this mechanism.

In the third season, the introduction of Lawless encounters comparable challenges. The character portrayed as Lawless in this series is nearly a faithful adaptation from the DC Comics’ original depiction. In the game “Kill the Justice League,” the role of Lawless is assumed by Zoe Lawton, Deadlock’s daughter. Despite Lawless being a well-established member of the Suicide Squad in DC’s extensive history and Zoe Lawton being an existing character, they are separate entities that have not been merged before. This means that players of “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” lack any prior connection to Zoe Lawton’s interpretation of Lawless or any pre-existing association.

Investigating the multiverse is a concept that’s been successful in popular superhero video games before, but _Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League_ hasn’t quite managed to pull it off yet. Instead of altering characters like Rocksteady often does, focusing on the game’s existing roster of playable characters could add more layers and complexity.

Kill the Justice League Should Take a Closer Look at its Character’s Backstories

Analyzing the backgrounds of characters playable in the game “Kill the Justice League“, we could introduce new characters that won’t confuse players or upset fans. For instance, delving into the less popular members of the Suicide Squad could provide a richer gaming experience. A relationship between Deadshot and Lawless is already established, and everyone knows about Harley Quinn’s volatile relationship with the Joker, but characters like Captain Boomerang and King Shark have yet to shine.

Arkham games (KTJL). For King Shark, who shares a half-animal, half-human nature with some of his cohorts, villains like Orca or sea-themed antagonists such as Black Manta, an enemy of Aquaman, could enhance his background.

The Arkhamverse Has Plenty of Characters That Could Return

Absolutely, the Arkhamverse might bring back villains and anti-heroes seen before, including Jason Todd who could be a key character in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Despite donning the Arkham Knight’s helmet, Jason Todd’s role as the Red Hood has been somewhat conflicting with the moral principles of his adoptive father, Bruce Wayne. Specifically, the Red Hood is unwavering in taking lives of villains, a practice that directly opposes Batman’s ideals, making for an intriguing exploration of this character.

In the updated game “Kill the Justice League,” the inclusion of a fresh take on the Joker as a playable character could potentially stir up more conflict, this time with Jason Todd, who suffered gruesome torture at the hands of the clown. Known for his ties to the Bat Family and the Outlaws in the comic books, Jason Todd has also worked with the Suicide Squad, notably in “Suicide Squad: Get Joker!” (2021). Despite this, it’s uncertain whether he will join the team in the upcoming “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.” The roster for this game is yet to be fully revealed, but considering Rocksteady and Warner Bros. have a rich array of characters from Arkhamverse’s history, present, and future to choose from, a variety of characters could potentially make an appearance.
