Please.Īnother defining feature of Rocksteady’s Arkham trilogy was the Joker (who also has a leading role in Origins after a bait and switch with Black Mask). After Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Mr Freeze, I know Suicide Squad’s boss battles are going to rock too - just don’t keep me in the Harleymobile, Rocksteady. They had been lifted right out of the comics, yet were completely new. Helped by some wonderful casting led by animated Batman, Kevin Conroy, every character felt simultaneously familiar and fresh. It comes from Rocksteady, the creator of the Arkham series, and that trilogy (Origins wasn’t Rocksteady) had superb characterisation throughout. Related: I Consider It A Personal Attack That We Don't Have A Killing Eve Game The characters are established fantastically within the first minute of the trailer, so given the length of a full game, I expect the dynamic will only get sharper.
The trailer stars Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, and Deadshot sitting around and relaxing, trying to eat pizza, and generally bickering or joking while an army of Brainiac grunts take over Metropolis. It seems to be another take on a dark Superman, which is very stale by now - especially after Brightburn and The Boys - but it’s the group dynamics that are far more interesting. The full name is Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, and I’ll leave it to you to figure out what the plot is about from a title like that. It’s been seven months since the game’s trailer dropped, so let’s recap quickly. For that reason, I’m still more excited for the Suicide Squad game than the second movie - I just hope it takes some influence from The Hunt For Harley Quinn. James Gunn is a much better fit than David Ayer, but I’m still wary. I’m a huge Suicide Squad fan (the series, not the first movie), and I loved the range of characters in the trailer, the more Birds of Prey-style Harley Quinn, and Joel Kinnaman’s less caricatured take on Rick Flagg, but I still feel a little once bitten, twice shy about the whole thing. The big news around Suicide Squad right now is the movie, seeing as the latest trailer dropped last Friday.
