Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Story is Going in a…

This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

In a surprising twist of fate, the latest DLC for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League indicates that players are now rescuing the once-brainwashed heroes of Earth. Throughout Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s main story campaign, the ruthless alien tyrant Brainiac takes control of the Justice League and sends them after the titular Task Force X. By the time the game’s credits roll, the entire League is dead, though things might not be as they appear after all.

Players have drawn several theories about how Rocksteady’s version of the Justice League could return after the events of Suicide Squad, with one of the more popular ones being that the heroes fought in the game are actually clones created by Brainiac to spearhead his ongoing invasion of Metropolis. Earlier this year, leaked Suicide Squad DLC audio added credence to this idea by suggesting that at least Green Lantern and The Flash are still alive following their gruesome ends at the hands of Task Force X.

What Does Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Need to Do to be the Next Cyberpunk?

SSKTJL has had more than its share of time in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, but if games like Cyberpunk 2077 have taught us anything, it's that the trust of the gaming community can gradually be won back. It's a mountain to climb, but the popular DC characters in the title have the star power to turn things around, if done right.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Season 2 went live earlier this month, and has seemingly confirmed that The Flash is indeed alive and well. As reported by IGN, one of the DLC’s cutscenes sees the Scarlet Speedster being rescued by the Squad after a boss battle against a multiversal Brainiac copy. Flash runs in, asks why the Suicide Squad members aren’t locked up in jail, then faints, leaving Task Force X to place him in stasis while he recovers from his ordeal.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Might Now Be About Saving the Justice League

The cutscene has naturally sparked more debate and speculation on the new direction that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League appears to be headed in. Some players still believe that the “brainwashed” Justice League members fought in the main game were merely clones, while others theorize that they were indeed killed, only to be revived by Brainiac somehow. Others still are wondering if this latest development means that the ever-popular Akhamverse Batman could return as well, despite the passing of longtime Batman actor Kevin Conroy back in 2022.

Suicide Squad’s latest DLC chapter raises as many questions as it seems to answer, but it looks like the rest of the game’s story content will be devoted to Task Force X’s efforts to rescue the remaining Justice League members from Brainaic’s clutches. Perhaps another hero could be saved in the upcoming Season 3, which is rumored to add Lawless as a playable character. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been met with much controversy and disappointing sales figures, but this new story direction could be what the troubled game needs to renew player interest.

Play as the Suicide Squad to take down the World’s Greatest DC Super Heroes, The Justice League. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, is a genre-defying, action-adventure third-person shooter from Rocksteady Studios, creators of the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham series.

Featuring an original narrative set within an expansive open-world city of Metropolis, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League puts the four DC Super-Villains on a collision course with an invading alien force and DC Super Heroes who are now laser-focused on destroying the city they once vowed to protect. All the while, the Suicide Squad must be mindful of the lethal explosives implanted in their heads that could go off at the first sign of defiance.

Each squad member has their own unique moveset with enhanced traversal abilities to freely explore the dynamic open-world of Metropolis, along with a variety of weapons to customize, and skills to master.
