“It Was All A Dream”

Many questioned if the arrival of “Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League” would mark the actual demise of DC’s most esteemed Justice League heroes. Indeed, the loss of some beloved comic book characters came as a significant surprise, with icons like Batman and Superman meeting their ends in manners that seemed less than fittingly grand or epic. However, it was later disclosed in the final update that the Justice League the Squad fought were actually replicas, thus nullifying their deaths.

In the concluding scene, players get to observe the Justice League and Suicide Squad joining forces to vanquish the ultimate Braniac. The anti-heroes have already dispatched various incarnations of the villain across different dimensions prior to this. Despite managing to break free from Amanda Waller’s control, Harley Quinn and her comrades succeed in their escape, but Diana of Themyscira fails to do so as she is trapped by the Grim Reaper. Unfortunately, Wonder Woman meets her end at the hands of the clone of Superman, making her demise even more bitter.

Did It Even Matter?

The Arkham series games centered around Batman are often hailed as among the greatest superhero video games ever made, offering a fresh perspective on the Dark Knight that struck a chord with fans. However, for the Suicide Squad game, the innovative approach to gameplay failed to capture the unique abilities of its bomb-carrying villain characters. Late attempts to reimagine characters like Joker, Mr. Freeze, and Deathstroke didn’t significantly improve the Warner Bros game, and the cinematic changes in updates were also met with criticism.

After the main story, additional parts of Kill The Justice League were presented using both an in-game engine and two-dimensional graphics. However, these still images with added voiceovers didn’t effectively tell the remaining story, especially when compared to the already contentious events within the game. This was particularly disappointing for players.

The disappointing failure of “Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League” carries a heavy weight because it might be the last game in the Arkham series. Ending such an illustrious franchise on a sour note like this seems unfair to Batman’s impressive winning streak. While I can’t pinpoint the ideal approach for making this game successful, it’s safe to say that many players would agree – this wasn’t it.
