Rocksteady’s Batman trilogy is one of the most beloved action series of all time, so some have wondered ifSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis in the Arkhamverse. Thankfully, we now have an answer after theFebruary 2023 State of Play.
The developer has announced which universeSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis in. It will be important to know as one of the multiplayer game’s Harley Quinn played quite a pivotal part in theBatman Arkhamseries. Here’s everything that was told to us.
Rocksteady has confirmed in a Behind The Scenes trailer thatSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewill be a continuation of the Arkhamverse.
“Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis an extension of the Arkhamverse,” said studio founder Sefton Hill. “It’s really about now reframing the story and telling it from the villain’s point of view.” He also confirmed in the video the game will take place five years after the events ofBatman: Arkham Knight.
The Caped Crusader will indeed be returning inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.Under villain Brainiac’s influence, the once-great hero of Gotham had his mind twisted in an extreme way. He is now going to be an antagonist the Suicide Squad has to face. It’s sad that this will be Kevin Conroy’slast performance as Batmanas it’s such an alternate take to what we’re used to.
“We’ve always seen Batman’s perspective on this world, and we thought it would be really fun and enjoyable to see this universe through the eyes of the villains,” said Sefton. Let’s see if Amanda Waller’s approach to defeating the Justice League by forming the Suicide Squad will work. With thegun-forward presentationof the gameplay, however, it is quite odd to think how these four could defeat the likes of Superman.
