People upset that a game called "Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League" involves
*checks notes*
The Suicide Squad killing The Justice League.
It's right there in the title. Not really a spoiler.

Oof, those plot leaks. Shame, because the game is kinda fun to play.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}In some ways I will give them credit for actually having the balls to kill the Justice League off in a video game. But setting it in the Arkham universe almost a decade after the final game came out and wasting Kevin Conroy's final performance as Batman as a brainwashed murderer after we've spent many years with this incarnation of the character... I mean, what were they thinking?
And the way he is used in the plot just screams that he could have very easily been like Wonder Woman and uneffected. Or even better, Brainiac doesn't realize Batman is not dead and is never targeted by him in the first place. That would tie into the Arkham games so much better while also not killing f'ing Tim Drake in cold blood.
Jim Stephanie Sterling was right a couple of years ago when they opined that Warner Bros. has no respect for their actual properties. It's the direct opposite of Nintendo.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}In a standalone game, you can do what you want. But this game is very visibly in the Arkham universe. I played the Alpha Test and there are nods to the Arkham games everywhere. There's a Batman Museum that details the main plots of the games, for example.
Plus I'm just over Batman being a dick to his kids. Even if he is under Brainiac control. It's not subversive anymore - it's become the norm.

I guess I just don’t get this one. It’s literally called kill the Justice league so I have no time for anger about that aspect. And they didn’t kill Kevin Conroy…nor could they have possibly known he was going to die. Blaming them for this being his last Batman is ridiculous. It’s not their fault in any way that he passed away and won’t do it anymore.
Feels like a lot of anger about a lot of stupid nonsense.

Honestly, I'm expecting bullshit Flashpoint nonsense to get us to the next Batman Arkham game so literally anything that happens here is probably pointless anyway.

In isolation it just sounds like a shitty rewrite of Injustice 2 (which was already bad) but tying it to the Arkham verse just feels really meanspirited.

And let's all be honest, there is no possible way any of Suicide Squad could kill any of The Justice League. One member could solo the whole group without any problem. Only a buffoon or some edgelord like Snyder would actually believe it could happen.

I wouldn't say any since there are circumstances where I could buy it, like Deadshot probably could kill any one of them other than maybe the Flash with the right conditions, plus if you're terribly concerned about comics canon there was that embarrassing time Harley beat Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman singlehandedly.

While I feel that most have a good point that Rocksteady had no way of knowing when Kevin Conroy would pass and thus we shouldn't be equating that with what happens in game.
I do feel, however, that it should be mentioned that when Kevin passed last year Rocksteady was quick to exploit that death and use it to advertise the game at the Game Awards when they announced Batman was in the game. Then in the trailer reminded everyone that it was the last time he would play the character and knew what would happen in the game with his character. That we should be mad about.

They also had plenty of time to try and fix some of the more... uh, interesting actions the character does within the story. They've had years to cut content now that really didn't need to be in the game.

It's kind of minor compared to the rest but shout out to... {Spoiler}Them deciding to shit all over one of the Arkham Knight story decisions people actually liked by having Nora not only be alive but now be Ms. Freeze for some reason.

Don't set a game in a loved universe and then screw around with the characters. It's not going to endear you to the fans you're trying to sell to. That's what these spoilers all essentially boil down to.
And hasn't James Gunn recently said that there might be more games in the Arkham universe? If you want to do more, don't do half of these story decisions. Just set it in a new and unrelated universe.
