Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the latest game based on DC Comics and the newest entry into the Batman Arkham Universe, taking place five years after the events of Batman Arkham Knight. It marks Rocksteady's first major release since 2015 and features a mind-controlled Justice League, a consequence of Brainiac's invasion. The Justice League roster includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern, while playable characters from the Suicide Squad include Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang. Post-Arkham Knight, numerous questions arise, such as the status of BatFamily characters like Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood, and Oracle. Similar to Gotham Knights, the game has received a very mixed reception, with criticism directed at both the story and gameplay.

    Quite ironic how Harley Quinn, same person that canonically killed children, is talking to Batman about how he caused emotional damage to others. You can't make this shit up lmfao.
  • @Lvalid-lg5si
    This game is just non-canon fan fiction to me.
  • @Garland846
    the craziest thing about this is red hood didn't immediately find and kill harley for torturing him for several years
  • @KaliTakumi
    10:46 Casually dropping "is he stupid?" in an Arkham video is crazy
  • @Hazel-qt8xj
    Im pretty sure each of the assassins that Batman fought in Origins could solo the squad by themselves Ive never gotten this many likes before.
  • @trilbymctip4386
    Almost none of the people who made the Arkham games are at Rocksteady anymore. You can tell current rocksteady has no love for the characters and stories the previous games told

    15 years…. The Arkham Series went for 15 years with KC as Batman. One of the best portrayals of the character ever, and it’s the last thing he ever did as Batman before he died, and to have this be how it ends… it’s just tragic.
  • @clipsin2007
    Somehow Brainiac’s mind control not only made the Justice League much dumber, but also much less effective at using their own powers/abilities. Might as well just made them empty headed zombies. That would’ve been a less disrespectful take than this 🐴 💩
  • @lboyadgiev8820
    A murderer that tortured Jason Todd physically and emotionally causing him life long trauma saying to Batman "Causin long-term mental and emotional damage" sounds like something that would be heard in a slap stick comedy stage play.
  • The main problem with (ARKHAM) Batman is that he already beat this whole squad (and more of them) on his own so easily!
  • @Broski26
    Did you hear the shell that came out of the revolver Harley shot Batman with. It’s a revolver, Casings don’t get ejected until you drop cylinder, Rocksteady doesn’t even know how guns work.

    "Are we done with your bad stand-up routine?" is going to haunt my nightmares, I swear. First thing I'm going to hear when Scarecrow sprays me with fear gas.
  • @n1n0rmal3n
    so i watched Assault On Arkham the other day and he bodied the whole Squad like they were jobbers
  • @themadtitan8379
    The setup to a good story is RIGHT THERE. Replace wonder woman’s role in the story with Batman, coming out of hiding to help the squad stop the league with his contingencies
  • @VLFBERHTwolf
    The ironic thing is that the original concept was to have the Suicide Squad Team up with Batman to save the Justice League. But they discover Batman's contingency plans incase things goes tits up and he has to take them out. That would have been great, but oh no ........ Let's talk about the game company that disrespected the IP, characters and fans cuz the money makes it go down easy, doesn't it? Not they will make a lot.
  • @gnpgeneral4651
    the fact that this game was set in the Arkham Verse and uses nightwings VA for The flash shows they didnt look at the old games when making it
  • @pacoramon9468
    That version of Batman already could defeat half of that Suicide Squad in one move.
  • @Felipedisturbed
    It’s awful to see how modern times turned Harley Quinn from an honestly pretty cool character into an insuferable tool for shitting on DCs cannon.
  • @baligong3592
    The craziest part to me is: this is the same Batman from Assault on Arkham, who faced: - Killer Frost - Harley Quinn - King Shark - Deadshot - Captain Boomerang - Black Spider And Batman in SSKTJL is AMPED and facing less of these clowns!! HOW DID HE LOSE?!? It's like beating a Game over and over, coming back some time later, and you somehow fail tragically while using Cheat Codes.
  • Reminder that Zur-En-Arhh is canon in the Arkhamverse. You know, the secret alternate personality Batman created in his own mind, to take over and continue Batmanning in the event of one of Batman's enemies attempting to mind control him? The very thing that happens in this game? Not to mention he has superhuman mental fortitude in the first place, keeping a cool head and powering through direct fear toxin exposure on multiple occasions (we see what it does to other people), taking back control from ANOTHER alternate personality after it takes over his mind (the Joker), and fighting his way through elaborate Mad Hatter mindscrews on several occasions. Even without Zur-En-Arhh to fall back on, he's the one Leaguer who seems least likely to fall victim to Brainiac's mind control. And then there's the fact that he didn't fight the Squad the way he normally does anyway. In the beginning of the game, he hides in the shadows and picks them all off one at a time, using silent takedowns reminiscent of the ones he used in the Arkham games. During the Batcave section of the game, he actually has them all separated, and has the perfect opportunity to do the same thing all over again, but with lethal force. Instead, he just kind of... sprays explosive gel all over the walls and floors and occasionally glides very slowly directly toward the Squad members. Like... bro, what? That's not Batman. "He wants to break their minds, he's trying to scare them." Okay, but when they don't crumple into a terrified fetal ball on the floor, and they just keep countering him, maybe it's time to quit playing around and just be pragmatic, something Batman has never had a problem with in the past. Before, if he got in over his head, he would smoke out, hide on a gargoyle, and come up with a new strategy on the spot. This Batman... it's like he wanted to die. During the big fight, he literally just stood in one place throwing fire (probably actually batarangs) while the Squad continued to pepper him with automatic weapons. Arkham Batman would never do that, even if he was brainwashed and evil. "But Harley's beaten him before, and she could have killed him in either Arkham City or Harley Quinn's Revenge! And he underestimated her!" That doesn't change the fact that this fight made no sense, the Batman we knew and loved and played as for all those years was a master tactician, but here he just acted like a fool. Him losing wasn't the problem. I mean... it's irritating, since he's the player character in a beloved video game franchise, one of the best received versions of the character ever, but if they want to kill him off, fine. But here they gave him the L simply by making him act completely out of character. Imagine how much better it would have been if he and Wonder Woman swapped places in the story? If he died fighting and weakening Superman so that the Suicide Squad could ultimately take him out? A hero's death, not an idiot's.
