Will SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE Turn Things Around With Its Upcoming Joker DLC?

With the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's first season on March 28th, an Elseworlds version of the Joker will become available as a playable character.

When Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's first season officially launches on March 28th, new skins, weaponry, and other features will be introduced.

At least three more seasons are planned by Rocksteady Games, with a new playable character added to the game with each new season.

However, the Joker, who will be the first DLC character released in season 1, is not the Joker from Rocksteady's earlier Batman video games.

As you may remember, Kill the Justice League takes place in the Arkhamverse, but the Joker has been dead for a while. Enter this other, younger version of the Clown Prince of Crime, who had just begun his criminal career at the time of Brainiac's attack.

Although the series has undoubtedly struggled since its release, this is a common tale for live service games. These games usually start off poorly, with little end game content to keep players invested, but the developers keep working on new features and eventually make changes that win over the player base (see Destiny 2).

However, considering the unfavorable opinions expressed by professional publications and gamers, Rocksteady  might be too far behind the eight ball.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on February 2, 2024.

Of course it will.

Clearly audiences will forgive the mass murder of beloved dc superheroes, including one of the best interpretations of batman ever if they get to play as an effeminate joker 🙄

@Origame - Isn't the spoiler that they don't actually die too?

No point playing a crap game like this when you can spread managed democracy

@Evansly - oh no. They all are dead.

There's some evidence it's possible they could be brought back or they can run into different dimensional variants of the justice league, but by the end of the base game we got they're all dead.

@WruceBayne - Awesome! Glad to have your support in spreading democracy across the galaxy!

What difficulty are you playing at right now? It is such a blast, especially playing with friends. My buddy made a playlist made of music exclusively during Roland Regans presidency and it is a vibe! Getting some Slayer and Metalica and then switching to Huey Lewis and the New or Tina Turner is a tonal shift but somehow works. Also lots of Top Gun music

I doubt it. Still amazes me how this game got to be the Arkham sequel and not Gotham Knights. That game felt like a worthy sequel. Almost like they switched up the memos sent to WB Montreal and Rocksteady

WruceBayne - 3/25/2024, 5:00 PM
@bkmeijer1 - yeah I never understood how Arkham Knights wasn’t a direct sequel. It’s weird that that was the call to make. Arkham Knights even plays the same as the previous Arkham games. That was a bad call in my opinion.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 3/25/2024, 5:43 PM
@WruceBayne - it's even so much alike, you use the same name.

But yeah, I agree it was a bad call. It might be even the only major issue I have with the game.

If you want to play a perfect live service game, it's Helldivers. Game loops are important for multiplayer games, and it's pretty much perfect

They’re actually trying to advertise that they’re going to recycle more boss fights through brainiac when the climax to this $70 game was literally the first boss fight.
You mean we get to do the same thing again!? Oh boy! But I guess that’s just the gameplay loop of the entire game.
Joker looks lame. I don’t like how he’s on a team with Harley.
Whoever decided to rip the heart out of one of the best game companies in the world is officially on my Richard Nixon style enemy list.

I really enjoy the game, is much more fun if you play with your friends. The story is good (not awesome), but the dialogues between the suicide members in cutscenes (and in-game) are really funny! I wil give a shot to the DLCs.

It still blows my mind that the team that gave us the Arkham games also made this.

@bcom - It's what happens when you literally get rid of everyone who is excellent at doing their jobs and instead hire a bunch of Didn't Earn Its to replace them.

bcom - 3/25/2024, 7:49 PM
@HistoryofMatt - I don't think that's the case. It's more to do with WB's insistence on concentrating on the live service model. WB Interactive had previously stated that the majority of their games will be live service moving forward. This would've forced Rocksteady's hand into turning this game into the live service mess that it is.

I hope they reveal that the JL are alive and the ones that died were clones.

No. This game is on the Sweet Baby Inc do not buy list.

Keep woke orgs away from your games or you will get a version of the Joker that looks like the kind of hooker you'd see in early 90's NYC. Not the fun kind either, the kind that let you know you should have taken a right instead of a left...

That had to be up there with Leto as the worst Joker designs. He looks even less intimidating than Leto did.

Joker won't save this dead game. The update will likely uptick in player numbers on the release but it won't be enough.

This game is going to die like Marvel's Avengers. But at least Avengers had a great campaign unlike SS:KtJL.

Live Service gaming isn't doing very well.

The only games that seem to be thriving in it are Helldivers 2 and Warframe.

Destiny 2 is unfortunately looking to be on its last legs since the Lightfall expansion was a disaster. Also didn't help that the execs in charge of the game became extremely greedy by locking most cosmetic items behind a paywall.
It's gotten so bad that pre-orders for the "Final Shape" expansion are at a record low.

Diablo IV went live service and we all know how that's been recieved.

More and more players are just sick of the live service model.
