There's something extremely unsettling about seeing Batman brandishing a gun with the intent to use it. However, this is most likely what the creators of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League are aiming for in the current trailer.
Rocksteady presented a new teaser during the recent Game Awards ceremony, depicting the DC Comics superhero team's corruption as a result of the wicked schemes of Kryptonian supervillain, Brainiac.
The latest trailer arrives after the release of character-specific teasers for Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn and King Shark. DLC is reportedly in the works that will introduce more playable characters. Dataminers have reportedly already identified that 3 more DLC characters are on the way.
Rocksteady previously asserted that the Suicide Squad will level the playing field with the Justice League by raiding the Hall of Justice's armory and grabbing a few crucial assets that will provide significant power-ups, such as a couple of Batman's gadgets, Dr. Sivana's Speed Force Gauntlet, and others.
As the trailer confirms, 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, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and The Flash.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on February 2, 2024.
A closed alpha came-and-went between November 30 and December 4, without much fanfare, a telling sign that the game isn't exactly high on many radars.
