The new DC gamesSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice LeagueandGotham Knightsare scheduled to be shown at the upcoming DC FanDome 2021. Although it is right around the corner, a new trailer for the event shows off new footage of both games.
It has been some time since eitherSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice LeagueorGotham Knightshave appeared in a large capacity. The former title was revealed at E3 2020, and the next game from Rocksteady Studios, the developers of the universally acclaimedBatman Arkhamseries, leaving fans with high expectations for this new game. More information has come out since its announcement, notably thatKill the Justice Leagueis actually set within theBatman Arkhamuniverse.Gotham Knights, the upcoming live-service game starring Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and the Red Hood, is similarly set within aBatman-less world, as new reports of the game have shown.

In the latest DC FanDome 2021 trailer, new footage forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice LeagueandGotham Knightsis shown. The Twitter account ArkhamVideos has conveniently cropped the trailer just to show the couple seconds of footage featuring the two games. One shot shows theSuicide Squadteam of Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, and Deadshot firing at what appears to be the back side of a bus before exploding. It cuts to another shot of the gang from below as they assemble in a crosshair formation as seen in the recently releasednewSuicide Squadcharacter art.
Gotham Knightstakes up the backhalf of the segment with a whopping two seconds of footage. In the first shot, Nightwing stands with his back to the camera in a dimly lit alley as Red Hood pulls up on his motorcycle. With the final cut, it jumps to a tracking shot of Batgirl running up what looks like a collapsing structure of some kind, though it could also just be skewed camera angle of the footage. Pursuing Batgirl are presumably some ofGotham Knights' Court of Owls enemies, dressed entirely in black with owl-shaped masks with glowing green eyes.
Considering this footage is part of a much larger trailer, it is fitting that there are only brief clips of these games here. This footage serves as a tease for what’s to come whenDC FanDome 2021officially gets underway, trying to entice fans to tune in and check it out. Nonetheless, it is still new footage for games that generally have very little currently available media, so if anything, it is great to see DC getting excited to show fans what it has been working on.
