Summary
If a reliable leaker is to be believed,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s DLC could take players back to the crime-ridden streets of Gotham City. Rocksteady’s next superhero action title marks a shift from the Batman mythos in favor of following the titular Task Force X on a dark and perilous mission to take out the Justice League after the heroes are mind-controlled by Brainiac. This mission will take theSuicide Squadcrew to Metropolis, Superman’s famous stomping grounds, where they will join forces with a host of villains old and new to hopefully survive the onslaught of Earth’s former protectors.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguealready seems packed with interesting content, including four playable characters in the form ofBatman: Arkhamfan-favorite Harley Quinn, a new version of Deadshot, and the Arkhamverse game debuts of King Shark and Captain Boomerang. A recent series of leaks offered up a potential look at some ofSuicide Squad’s post-launch DLC, which could include additional characters like Killer Croc, Killer Frost, Peacemaker, and an unnamed clown villain that may or may not be a resurrected Joker.
Even if the Clown Prince of Crime himself doesn’t return from the grave inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, players could be headed back to his home of Gotham City. Miller Ross (akammmmmmmmiller), the leaker who shared the pastSuicide SquadDLC rumors, recently answered a fan’s question about what piece of post-launch content players would be most excited to buy in a Twitter post. “I stress: Season 3,” Ross replied. “That’ll take us through Halloween and Black Friday. […] Lots of Arkham nostalgia. Cameos. You literally go to Gotham. It’ll be a big moment for the game, post-launch.”
Ross also claims that Rocksteady will follow this Gotham-centric DLC with a playable Deathstroke in Season 4, backing up his previous claims that the infamous assassin will be added toSuicide Squadpost-release. He notes thatSlade Wilson’s DLC story campaignwill build off the post-credits scene from WB Montreal’sBatman: Arkham Origins, which saw him being recruited by Amanda Waller for Task Force X. While supplementary material explored Slade’s brief stint in the Suicide Squad, this plot thread was unmentioned in 2015’sBatman: Arkham Knight, where Deathstroke is instead shown working for Scarecrow and the titular Arkham Knight as a field leader for their militia army.
Before that, Ross says thatSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s post-launch content will include a return to Gotham City, though the exact details are still unclear at this time.Batman himself is already confirmedas one of Task Force X’s targets, and his reveal trailer hinted that players will fight him in the darkened hallways of Arkham Asylum. If Ross’s latest claims are true, then fans will get to see more of Gotham afterSuicide Squad’s release on February 2, with the supposed Season 3 DLC rumored to come sometime between Halloween and Black Friday.
