Everyone’s “favorite” looter-shooter Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League shocked audiences when the playable eponymous staff…properly, killed the Justice League. It was all proper there within the identify, and for as many faults as the sport would possibly’ve had, it was at the very least at all times sincere. Nevertheless, that might not be the case anymore, as a result of based on the sport’s newest plot developments, we could not have really killed the Justice League. Now how’d Process Pressure X fuck that up?
Suicide Squad’s second season has apparently revealed that the beforehand thought lifeless superheroes are perhaps very alive. No less than, one in every of them is. In a cutscene following the conclusion of the second season’s story, and but one other Brainiac boss combat, The Flash miraculously manages to flee the villain’s clutches and is the truth is saved by the Suicide Squad.
The Flash had one in every of Suicide Squad’s extra dramatic arcs, so it’s solely becoming that he be introduced again to kick off this newest wave of its story. On the outset of the sport, he’s really one of many few members of the Justice League that hasn’t been corrupted by Brainiac, and he even helps the staff get out of a mind-controlled Inexperienced Lantern’s clutches. Ultimately, he’s captured by a brainwashed Batman who then converts The Flash into one other one in every of Brainac’s minions.
Contemplating he was one of many holdouts, and was solely captured on account of his heroics, gamers felt particularly unhealthy about having to kill The Flash, whose underwhelming demise is additional ruined by the scene’s tacit affirmation that Captain Boomerang is packing a huge dick. This fucking sport, man…however at the very least people don’t need to really feel too unhealthy about it anymore, because it seems The Flash that died was a clone!
This newest twist appears to verify the fan idea that the variations of the Justice League within the sport have been clones. If The Flash is any indication, the opposite Justice League members—save for Surprise Lady, who by no means will get mind-controlled/cloned and is definitely offed in a combat in opposition to Superman—seem to be they’re being held captive by among the multiverse’s Brainiacs. Contemplating the post-game DLC has been following the Squad’s makes an attempt to kill the remainder of the 13 Brainiacs which might be working in tandem to manage the multiverse (this sport is quite a bit), you may wager that we’re most likely going to run into the remainder of the Justice League and truly save them this time round.
That signifies that at the very least Superman, Inexperienced Lantern, and Batman are due for returns within the near-future. That final comeback could possibly be notably noteworthy, because of the passing of Batman’s most famous actor, Kevin Conroy, who voiced the character since Batman: The Animated Sequence premiered in 1992. After his demise, followers of Conroy and Batman bought uncomfortably bizarre, combative, and possessive over his efficiency in Suicide Squad, which they fairly rudely deemed unworthy of being Conroy’s final flip because the Caped Crusader. They have been particularly upset on the very unceremonious and abrupt approach wherein Harley Quinn executes him.
Although Suicide Squad is Conroy’s ultimate online game efficiency as Batman, his precise ultimate phrases are apparently much better and are in an animated movie which launched earlier this month. Now, followers are questioning if Conroy didn’t document extra dialogue that they could hear in a DLC if Batman can be revealed to have survived the occasions of the sport.
The sport’s remaining gamers appear on-board for this twist within the narrative, although some have expressed they could’ve most popular it being delivered upfront quite than post-launch. After a muted reception to the primary season, which launched an alternate universe Joker as a playable character, the second season’s completed little to win gamers again outdoors of this potential plot twist.
Will this twist be sufficient to save lots of Suicide Squad, which disappointed its publisher earlier this yr? Completely not, nevertheless it’s an attention-grabbing (and really comic-book-inspired) wrinkle that ought to freshen issues up whereas Rocksteady closes out this story. Hell, this transfer bought me to reinstall the sport and dedicate a part of my weekend to it, so it’s doing one thing proper. Positive did take it lengthy sufficient.
