Kill the Justice League messed up the Kill the Justice League section

One of the boldest things Rocksteady has ever done he uncovered his Suicide Squad game after years of rumors it was his little statement: this will be a game about you, as the player, fighting and forced to kill the best heroes of DC, before Braniac takes them to be his death squad. So Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League came out, and no one was happy. Now, just a few weeks away from its first anniversary, the game is moving with…

The basic version of Kill the Justice League it culminated with the deaths of Superman and Wonder Woman alike, as the elite team prepared for Brainiac’s defeat and realized that there were too many variables with their vulnerable Brainiacs to save, setting up the game’s mission. plan for the coming months. But then Kill the Justice League faced a difficult and dire sell-off, leaving Rocksteady scrambling to get things right along with its future plans – which arrived this weekend with the game’s eighth and final update, just two weeks before the game’s first anniversary. . This would not be good if Kill the Justice League it settled on every aspect, but instead, its final story revealed that it was all a pointless hoodwink.

This week’s episode eight ends with the final defeat of Braniac at the hands of Taskforce X… the game. On the contrary, those deaths—which caused controversy at the time, when people believed that Kevin Conroy’s portrayal of Batman in Kill the Justice League would have been his last posthumous role as the Dark Knight – he belonged to the clones.

On the one hand, players who have been around shouldn’t be surprised – previous updates saw Harley, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, and Deadshot having already freed Green Lantern and Flash from Braniac’s clutches after their apparent deaths, traveling to other worlds. putting them in stasis, so the revelation that Batman and Superman were also clones is not surprising. And yet, it means that the players who stood nearby Kill the Justice League at his lowest point he was rewarded with the realization that he didn’t make it, killing the Justice League. The only casualty in the end of it all is Wonder Woman, who avoided Braniac’s mind control in the first game, only to be killed by (newly revealed as an artist) Superman.

And so, Suicide Squad it ends with Taskforce X and the Justice League going their separate ways: the League remains to protect “their” crimes by monitoring various people to eliminate any threats of Braniac, and the Suicide Squad, freed from the explosive bombs of Amanda Waller, to find theirs. your little bag of different people to go out and have fun with. The cutscene is a random, non-stop narration from Harley Quinn through the words that cover the image revealed in half the line – they are clearly talking about how it all happened, because it had to be the future that people have been waiting for a long time. Batman Arkham the environment.

At least there are some heroes alive now that they can all carry on with, if that fate ever comes?
