Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League - All Riddler Trophy Locations (The Oldest One in the Book!)
This guide will help fans find all 40 Riddler Trophies and earn the Oldest One in the Book achievement in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
There were many great characters introduced in the Batman: Arkham games and some of them return, even from more obscure forms of media from the series. It’s also worth noting that due to some characters in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League being alive, this article will treat the Batman: Arkham Knight comics and the Batman: Assault on Arkham animated movie as non-canon, as these are the returning Arkhamverse characters, and not multiverse variants or otherwise.
9 Harley Quinn
5 Appearances, Now A Protagonist
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Batman: Arkham City
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Harley Quinn returns in full form, no longer just a sidekick to Joker, or a woman in mourning of her dead and psychotic ex. Harley is one of the four main characters in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and she gets more time to shine this time around, featuring some truly emotional moments, as well as many comedic ones that help shape her into the modern character that audiences know and love today.
Harley has come a long way from her skimpy nurse outfit in Batman: Arkham Asylum, and she’s ready to take on the Justice League and Brainiac with little regard for her own safety. Harley’s one of the best and most well-known members of the Suicide Squad, so it’s great to see her on the team for this Metropolis bout.
8 Batman
The Titular Hero Of The Arkhamverse Appears As The Villain
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Batman: Arkham City
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
There wouldn’t be an Arkhamverse without Batman, arguably the world’s most iconic superhero from DC Comics. This time around, Batman doesn’t play the role of the hero, nor does he feature as the playable character. In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, he’s a villain, with his brain altered and controlled by Brainiac. 5 years have gone by since his identity was revealed to the world and he faked his death, so this is a Batman with nothing to lose and an arsenal of gadgets.
It’s a distressing contrast to see a Batman who went through so much with the Arkham games, only now to have fallen into the hands of a world dominator. Batman is a tactical mastermind, and his personality is twisted, sadistic, and hellbent on killing for Brainiac. It’s a far cry from the hero that was once loved by citizens and feared by Gotham crooks.
7 Aaron Cash
The Arkham Guard Provides Supply Crates
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Batman: Arkham City
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Aaron Cash is noted for being the confident Arkham guard who doesn’t stand for any disrespect. Aaron Cash has featured a few times in the Arkham games, and he’s back here, acting as a supporting member to ARGUS in the Hall of Justice, complete with his hook hand and all, which he received from being a deadly snack for Killer Croc back in Arkham Asylum.

With no Killer Croc to fear, Aaron Cash is free to provide the Squad with Supply Crates. He’s an important vendor in the Hall of Justice, and players can even talk to him to find out what he’s been up to these past few years and learn about his opinions on the squad.
6 Poison Ivy
Ivy Is Reborn In Her 4th Appearance
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Batman: Arkham City
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Poison Ivy may have died in Batman: Arkham Knight, but as she said before; “nature always wins”. Poison Ivy left behind a plant sapling after her death, and it seems that Lex Luthor found it and grew it until Poison Ivy was born back into the world. Make no mistake, despite the pheromones of Ivy having familiar memory of her past and her interactions with Harley, this child version is a new Ivy, one that doesn’t like being called ‘Poison’.
Whilst more of a rebirth for Ivy than an exact replica, this is still very much Ivy, with all her twisted hatred for humanity and meatsacks bound. Ivy can be found in the Hall of Justice during the story, where she will provide Afflictions to melee weapons and grenades.
5 Jack Ryder
Gotham's Favorite Journalist Reports On The Events Of The Games
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Batman: Arkham City
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Jack Ryder has a funny set of cameos in the Arkham games. Whilst his villainous alter-ego The Creeper does not feature in any of these games, the reporting and efficient, albeit cowardly, Jack Ryder does. Jack Ryder is often heard and not seen, and features in many of these games as a radio reporter, meaning players will hear his voice.
Jack Ryder narrates the Batman Experience in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and is not seen physically. This appearance is more similar to the other Arkham games where he can only be heard through news reports and interviews, unlike Arkham City where he was thrown into the pit of criminals, or Arkham Knight where he was set to be a victim of Deacon Blackfire.
4 The Penguin
In Need Of A Good Gun Runner?
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham City
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Oswald Cobblepot makes his squawking return to the Arkhamverse with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Whilst the years have been less kind to Oswald, they at least gave him his hair back, as he was seemingly receding and then bald in the previous games. Even his glass bottle monocle has received an upgrade, although he’s still a loud and fairly rude British arms dealer who won’t stand for anyone’s business; unless a bomb is planted in his neck.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League – Trophy/Achievement Guide
This guide is for the players who want to claim victory with the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Platinum Trophy.
Oswald Cobblepot acts as a vendor in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and players can find him in the Hall of Justice to purchase new equipment in terms of weapons and gear. Joined by his Penguin Thugs, Oswald fits right in with the group of criminals trying to save the world.
3 Rick Flag
Amanda Waller's Right Hand
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Where there is Amanda Waller, there’s probably Rick Flag. This government agent works closely with Waller as a member of ARGUS. He’s fairly loyal, and his allegiance is also to America, not to the superheroes that protect it, or the villains that attack it. Rick Flag first appeared in Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, but he makes his proper Rocksteady debut in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Both characters share similarities, so it’s to be expected that this is indeed Rick Flag Jr. Their no-nonsense attitude characters Rick Flag through his missions, but this time he isn’t leading the Suicide Squad into battle, but is instead helping them from the side. He can be found in the Hall of Justice, where players can select him to swap character orders.
2 Amanda Waller
Task Force X's Daddy
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
The director of ARGUS didn’t debut in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, as she actually appeared in a post-credits scene for Batman: Arkham Origins. Amander Waller is in charge of the Suicide Squad, her Task Force X, which is recruited for a specific and expendable goal. Yet, players haven’t been able to see what Amanda Waller has been cooking until now, and it seems that one of her first squads is the most reckless, with a truly suicidal mission to kill the Justice League and beyond.
Amanda Waller is all business, and she has no allegiance to anyone but the safety of her country. Amanda Waller does not care who she has to manipulate or kill to get what she wants, and she makes that pretty clear from the moment players meet her in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Just, try not to get on her bad side, or expect an explosive migraine.
1 The Riddler
Players Can't Escape Nigma's Trophies & Riddles
Arkhamverse Appearances:
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Batman: Arkham City
- Batman: Arkham Origins
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
The infamous and cocky voice of Edward Nigma, the man who is so obsessed with puzzles and riddles that he and his goons spend hours, day and night, placing riddles and trophies around Gotham City for Batman to solve. Many players might remember the tireless hours they spent picking up Riddler Trophies and solving DC-themed Riddles, now get ready to do it all over again.
Edward Nigma returns, having hacked the Suicide Squad’s bombs, and ready to blow them up unless they solve his riddles, trophies, and AR challenges scattered around Metropolis. Players can expect to be bullied by the Riddler’s words and his annoying sense of superiority and smarts like it’s 2009 all over again.
