What’s the story?

Well, it’s a long story, and it all began back in 1937, when the first DC Comic was published. This led to the creation of the DC Universe and the iconic superheroes that most people are familiar with. These DC characters include Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, the Green Lantern and Wonder Woman. And, let’s not forget the antiheroes of the Suicide Squad! These adventure comic books, featuring heroes and villains became an overnight sensation, and have endured the test of time. Comic books (some now worth a small fortune) have been superseded by other forms of broadcast, movies, cartoons, and video games of all stripes feature the adventures of the DC superheroes and villains.

Who is the Suicide Squad?

As the name suggests, the Suicide Squad isn’t a posse of milk-drinking, squeaky clean Clark Kent lookalikes, but a team of supervillains and antiheroes. Since their first appearance in 1959, various members have come and gone from the Suicide Squad; they have endured some of the most dangerous missions possible, and sometimes failed. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League features four playable characters at release:

Captain Boomerang is a fair dinkum, boomerang loving Aussie lad with a disdain for the Flash, adding a dash of outback comedy to the game.
Deadshot is a highly skilled marksman, who also appeared in Batman: Arkham City, truth is, it was not actually him, but an identity thief.
Harley Quinn, the girlfriend of the Joker, is back. After mourning his passing, she has forged her own style of grapple-based swinging, and is ready for the fight against Brainiac.
King Shark is conscripted along with the other villains in the Suicide Squad, and is ready to kill, and possibly devour his enemies.

These four miscreants will be followed with new playable characters to be added every season:

Season 1: Joker - confirmed
Season 2: Victoria Fries (Mrs. Freeze) - not confirmed
Season 3: Zoe Lawton (Lawless) - not confirmed
Season 4: Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) - not confirmed

The premise of the game is pretty simple: half a decade after the conclusion of Batman: Arkham Knight, Amanda Waller (director of A.R.G.U.S) puts together the Suicide Squad for an undercover mission to Metropolis. The members of the team are drafted from correctional institutes and forced to fight, or die. Entering the city, the characters discover the horrifying truth that Brainiac has invaded earth, brainwashing Justice League members Superman, the Flash, Batman and Green Lantern…The only choice the Suicide Squad have is to exterminate the Justice League before Brainiac takes over the entire world.

Is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the Arkhamverse?

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is developed by British video game developer Rocksteady Studios, famed for the Batman: Arkham series. The game is published by Warner Bros. Games and can be seen as a sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight. So, yes, the game’s vast open world will let you step back into the Arkhamverse.
