This article contains MINOR spoilers forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
As the superhero genre has continued to grow in the realm of movies, TV shows, and video games, as has the expectation that fans will be presented with a wealth of Easter eggs, all referencing the wider comic book universe that the project belongs to. While this has definitely become a more prevalent expectation in the last decade or so, Rocksteady has been knocking this out of the park long before that, withBatman: Arkham Asylumcontaining numerous references to the wider DC world. And as is expected,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguefollows suit.
A series no longer focused on just Batman, there was an expectation thatSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewould contain even more references than ever before, with the entire DC world now at Rocksteady’s fingertips. For the most part, Rocksteady has delivered on that, packingSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewith countless Easter eggs, some glaringly obvious and some less so.
One of the first major Easter eggs that players will come across inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis the Batman Experience. A museum dedicated to the Caped Crusader, this area essentially details (almost) the entireBatman: Arkhamseries, taking players through the events ofArkham Asylum,City, andKnightin order.
Each room of the museum is filled with cardboard cut-outs of iconic set pieces and characters from across the series, ranging fromThe Joker to Red Hoodand just about every other adversary in between. If players jump on top of the cut-out of Gotham’s watchtower then they’ll even be treated to a hidden Man-Bat Easter egg, with the villain popping up and scaring the player just like he did inBatman: Arkham Knight.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Metropolis is filled with references to other DC villains, some of which could potentially appear in futureSuicide Squadpost-launch seasons. Players will be able to findreferences to Black Manta, Peacemaker, and Deathstroke, all of whom have their logos and masks graffitied on the city streets. Later on in the game, players will head to the Batcave, where they’ll find a stash ofBatman: Arkhamvillain equipment ranging from Scarecrow’s fear toxin and Black Mask’s mask to a classic Riddler Trophy and Red Hood’s helmet.
But villains aren’t the only DC characters that get Easter eggs inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Strewn across Metropolis, players will be able to find a multitude of references to some ofDC’s other superheroes. Players can find the Queen Industries building, along with the Kord Industries facility, both of which are references to Green Arrow and Blue Beetle respectively.
The magician Zatanna appears on a large billboard on the side of the Cain Theater, and players can find her shop in the Wonderland district of Metropolis. When players visit Earth-2, they can spot posters for The Flash and Green Lantern, though in this universe they’reWally West and Hal Jordanas opposed to Barry Allen and John Stewart.
After returning from Earth-2, Task Force X will find themselves in the Daily Planet, the iconic workplace ofSuperman’s alter-ego Clark Kent. The first room players walk into is filled with Easter eggs, including the work desks of both Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen, both of which are littered with smaller references such as a picture of the Kent family, and Olsen’s desk being covered in Superman memorabilia. Before leaving the Daily Planet, players also stroll through Perry White’s office, the editor-in-chief of the Metropolis rag.
