Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is finally official and Rocksteady’s next game looks like it could be one of the highlights of 2022. The story will pit four members of the Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn, King Shark, Captain Boomerang and Deadshot, against members of the Justice League in an open-world Metropolis.
Players may be hesitant to go up against some of the most iconic DC heroes, but judging from the Suicide Squad trailer, it seems that strange things are happening in Metropolis and whatever is going on in the city is affecting the Justice League as well. With a huge lineup of superheroes in the Justice League’s roster, there are many possible targets that the Suicide Squad will have to fight during Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but here are a few, good possibilities:
It’s basically confirmed that the Suicide Squad will fight Superman thanks to his status as Amanda Waller’s ‘Alpha target,’ but this doesn’t seem to be the Superman that everyone knows and loves. With Batman seemingly out of the Arkham-verse for good, the man of steel is the biggest player the Squad can face. A Superman vs. Suicide Squad boss battle is likely to be one of the biggest in the game, and he will likely be one of the hardest targets to kill, thanks to his never-ending range of powers. Why Superman has turned against civilization is up for debate, but it’s a sure guess that whatever has happened to Superman could have happened to the other Justice League heroes as well.
One of Flash’s old enemies, Captain Boomerang, is a playable character in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, so it makes sense that the two rivals would meet in the game. Flash’s speed powers would be more than a match for the team of four, but Boomerang showed some speed powers of his own in the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League trailer, meaning he might just be the only one who has a shot against the hero. During the game announcement at DC FanDome, Captain Boomerang teased that he would be eager to kill the Flash in the game, which makes it seem even likelier that the speedster will be a target.
Another Justice League hero with a rival team member on the Suicide Squad is Aquaman. As the ruler of Atlantis, Aquaman has had many dealings with King Shark and his father the Shark God. Once upon a time in the comics, King Shark and Aquaman even held a grudging alliance, with King Shark mentoring Aquaman into his role as a leader. Whether or not Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League keeps this same backstory, it’s highly likely that the two will have history thanks to their shared ocean homeland. It’s been a while since Aquaman has featured significantly in a video game (outside Fortnite) and bringing him into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could offer up a world of interesting combat opportunities, particularly an underwater boss fight.
Green Lantern has been handled poorly in many of the attempts to bring him to modern media, but he would make a worthy opponent in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Utilizing the potential of his Power Ring would make Green Lantern basically unstoppable against any of the Suicide Squad members in combat. Plus bringing him into the game would be a chance for Rocksteady to redefine the character and open the door for more Green Lantern appearances in the expanding Arkham-verse.
Black Canary already has existing history in the Arkham-verse, having been mentioned by Oracle in Arkham Knight. It seems that Black Canary was an ally to Batman, and it makes sense that she would be helping the Justice League after the Dark Knight’s downfall. Black Canary would likely have a similar fighting style to Catwoman from previous Arkham games, but with the added advantage of her sonic cry which would be a tough match for any of the Suicide Squad members. If Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League chooses to follow certain comics, Harley Quinn might have a backstory with Black Canary via the Birds of Prey storyline, which would make for an epic boss battle between the two.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be released in 2022 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X.
