Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a highly anticipated action-adventure game developed by the legendary Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. It is the fifth main entry in the beloved Batman: Arkham series, set after the events of the epic Batman: Arkham Knight. This time, Batman takes a back seat, but don’t worry, fans will be treated to a special posthumous performance by the legendary voice actor, Kevin Conroy, who will bring the Dark Knight to life one last time.
The game focuses on the notorious Suicide Squad, a team of iconic DC Comics super-criminals/anti-heroes, assembled by the ruthless Amanda Waller, to stop the alien invader Brainiac and save the members of the Justice League who have fallen under his control. Players will be able to control their favorite members of the Suicide Squad, including Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and Captain Boomerang, as they navigate the dangerous streets of Metropolis.
Fun fact: Did you know that Captain Boomerang was originally created as a member of the Flash’s rogues gallery? And that Harley Quinn was originally a sidekick to the Joker in the popular Batman: The Animated Series? These are just some of the Easter eggs that await players as they immerse themselves in this action-packed game.
The game is set to release on May 26, 2023, for the latest gaming platforms, including the PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. Get ready to join the Squad and save the day!

The Plot
We know the game takes place in the same universe as the Batman: Arkham series, a little while after Batman: Arkham Knight. Amanda Waller puts together a team of some baddies from Arkham Asylum – Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark – and sends them on a secret mission to Metropolis.
But, when they get there, they find out that Brainiac has invaded Earth and is controlling some of the Justice League members, like Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and even Batman. Wonder Woman is the only one who seems to have escaped his grasp. So, the Suicide Squad is left to save the day and rescue the Justice League from Brainiac’s mind control. It’s up to these misfits to save Metropolis, and ultimately the world, from total destruction.
