DC Comics: Best Batman Stories Of 2023, Ranked
Batman often holds the title of DC Comics' most popular superhero, and these stories from 2023 prove just why.
A big video game launch like this is normally expected to receive some DLC in the future to expand this world and give players some new experiences in this version of the DC Universe. This DLC could include some new locations to explore or some new characters to play as. Fortunately, the Suicide Squad is a team that has plenty of members that the developers could include as playable characters in future DLC.
5 Polka-Dot Man
A Weird Villain Who Can Shoot Inter-Dimensional Polka-Dots
- First Appearance: Detective Comics #300 (1962)
- Created by: Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff
The idea of a character who can throw polka dots at people in an effort to commit crimes seems like a very silly idea that is supposed to only exist in a comic book from the 1960s. However, filmmaker James Gunn managed to find a way to make Polka-Dot Man a serious character in The Suicide Squad movie in 2021. In his first comic book appearance, Polka-Dot Man faces off against Batman when an inter-dimensional virus gives him the ability to grow and throw explosive polka dots at people. In the movies, this origin was changed to make him a man who was experimented on by his mother in an attempt to make him a famous superhero.
DC: 6 Most Sympathetic Batman Villains
Not all Batman villains are unrepentant evildoers. Some have shown a redeeming side to themselves that makes them quite sympathetic.
This new origin makes the Polka Dot Man a much more sympathetic villain, and he is now seen as more than just a silly throwaway character from the 60s. As such, now would be a great time to give this villain more of a spotlight in a game like Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. Traversing the open world may not be a highlight for this villain, but his in-built explosives give him a combat style that already works within the game engine.
4 El Diablo
A Magic Fire User With Two Forms
- First Appearance: All-Star Western #2 (1970)
- Created by: · Robert Kanigher and Gray Morrow
El Diablo was one of the highlights of the much-maligned Suicide Squad movie from 2016. Originally a dark villain who is supposed to fight against lawmen in the Wild West, this character was re-imagined as a remorseful gang member who hates his fire-based powers as they were responsible for the death of his wife and child. After embracing these powers once again, El Diablo joins forces with the magical fire god, who gave him his powers, to become a towering monster who eventually defeats the main threat at the end of the movie.
This duality in power sets makes El Diablo a fascinating choice for a new playable character for future DLC. His regular fire powers could allow him to take on waves of enemies at once, and his ability to change into a giant fire god could be a unique power-up for boss fights.
3 Cheetah
One Of Wonder Woman's Most Famous Adversaries
- First Appearance: Wonder Woman (Volume 1) #6 (1943)
- Created by: William Moulton Marston and H. G. Peter
The super-agile Cheetah has had many identities throughout the years. The first woman to take on the mantle was Priscilla Rich, but most audiences are more familiar with the Barbara Ann Minerva version that was seen in the DCEU movie, Wonder Woman 1984. It doesn't matter which version of Cheetah fans come across, she is always an enemy of Wonder Woman. This human-cheetah hybrid is a speedy melee fighter, who could be fun to use to traverse an open-world city with her lightning-fast reflexes and ability to climb walls with her claws.
The main premise behind Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was giving players the chance to take on each member of the Justice League in a boss fight. However, Wonder Woman avoids being corrupted by Brainiac's mind control, which means she has a much smaller role in the game. Perhaps a Wonder Woman boss fight has been saved for the DLC, and fans will get to take her on as Cheetah.
2 Killer Croc
A Sewer-Dwelling Mutated Villain
- First Appearance: Batman #357 (1983)
- Created by: Gerry Conway, Don Newton, and Gene Colan
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League takes place within the same continuity as the Batman: Arkham series. As such, all the characters seen in those Batman games are canon in this version of the DC Universe. One of the most fondly remembered characters from those games is the hulking crocodile monster, Killer Croc. This character was the focus of two boss fights in the series and is still alive in Arkham Asylum in that universe.
Batman: 8 Arkham Series Characters That Disappeared After Their Respective Game
A few characters from Batman's iconic Rogues Gallery mysteriously disappear after their appearances in the Batman: Arkham series.
Therefore, it would be great to see this behemoth once more in some future DLC. Killer Croc has a history with the Suicide Squad in the comics, and this giant brute could provide players with some unique combat encounters.
1 Killer Frost
A Villain With The Power To Control Ice
- First Appearance: Firestorm #3 (1978)
- Created by: Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom
The frosty villain, Killer Frost, was a relatively unknown member of The Suicide Squad. However, her reputation has grown since she made appearances in Injustice: God Among Us video game, and The Flash TV show. Now, Killer Frost is one of the most recognizable villains in DC's pantheon, beating out the likes of Mr Freeze and Captain Cold. She also has been a prominent member of the team of villains in the comic books.
Every Season Of The Flash, Ranked
Grant Gustin led CW's The Flash for almost a decade, and now that it's over, it's time to rank every season of the DC Comics show.
All this makes Killer Frost an ideal character to include in an upcoming DLC pack for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. She may not be known for using a ton of weapons like the other members of the team, but her ability to glide across paths of ice could make traversing an open-world city more fun than it already is.
