"George Harkness aka Captain Boomerang, has been embarrassed by The Flash more times than he can probably count."
Following the release of character-specific trailers for Harley Quinn and King Shark, Rocksteady is shining the spotlight on George Harkness aka Captain Boomerang.
Scenes in the brief teaser trailer show off the differences between playing as the boomerang-wielding Australian bad guy versus either the psychotic psychiatrist of Gotham or the resident shark deity that calls Atlantis home.
Rocksteady has already confirmed that the Suicide Squad will gain a fighting chance against the Justice League by breaking into the Hall of Justice's armory and stealing a few key items that will provide significant power-ups, such as a few of Batman's gadgets, Dr. Sivana's Speed Force Gauntlet, and more.
It also appears that the Penguin will make an appearance in this game, possibly as an arms dealer who allows the player to improve their equipment and acquire even more firepower.
Wonder Woman will also make an appearance in the game as the lone Justice Leaguer Braniac fails to capture. The Suicide Squad might serve as a backup for the Amazonian princess as she strives to release her allies.
With trailers for Harley Quinn, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang now released, expect a character trailer for Deadshot to be dropped very soon.
