For the second year in a row, DC is gracing fans with a huge presentation on the future of DC comics, films, and video games with DC FanDome 2021. The event turned out to be a success last year, and it seems that this year’s show will be even bigger than the last. Some of the most anticipated reveals include a new look atThe Batmanand Dwayne Johnson’s portrayal ofBlack Adam, but there’s one thing that many gamers are looking forward to the most. Between all of the film and television news, DC FanDome 2021 is finally going to give fans a new look at Rocksteady’sSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewas one of many surprise reveals at last year’s DC FanDome, but it’s been unfortunately quiet since then. After teasing Brainiac and showing a Superman that is much more okay with murder than what’s usually expected,Suicide Squadis really going to have to show something exciting to reel in gamers that may have forgotten about Rocksteady’s first major project in over five years. While evil Superman was a great hook,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewould be wise to show off what’s happened to other members of the League to give the game a stronger foundation.

Showing off anevil Supermanwas a great way to provide an immediate threat forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but the big blue boy scout can hardly be the only threat that Harley Quinn and company face. The Justice League has evolved from a small handful of heroes to a massive team over the years, and showing more of its members would really flesh out the dangers that players will be up against. Depending on the game’s scope,Kill the Justice Leaguecould feature well over a dozen corrupted heroes to really make players feel like their mission is fitting for the Suicide Squad’s supposed expendability.
Giving DC’s Biggest Heroes A Proper Introduction
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewill be one of the first big triple-A showings for the band of misfits, but it will also be one of the first major games for the Justice League outside of the fighting game genre. While the League certainly seems about as twisted as its portrayal intheInjusticeseries, it’s still deeply important thatSuicide Squad’s next presentation gives some of DC’s most recognizable names a fitting introduction. Many gamers have been waiting years for Rocksteady to take on other heroes after its success with theBatman: Arkhamseries, and DC FanDome will be the perfect stage to fulfill those wishes.
Building The World Of The Arkhamverse
IfSuicide Squadis really going to impress with its first big showing in over a year, it also needs to lean into its connections with the Arkhamverse. It was confirmed in the game’s reveal thatSuicide Squadwould tie into Rocksteady’s Arkhamverse, which contained numerous references to heroes such as Green Lantern and the Flash without actually showing them. Considering Batman’s fate at the end ofArkham Knightas well, it could be interesting to see how the League handles his ambiguous death. Even if it’s an offhanded remark from Wonder Woman to Harley, connectingSuicide SquadtoBatman: Arkhamcould build an immense amount of hype.
DC FanDome 2021 is sure to bring a lot of thrilling comic news, andSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas an opportunity to stand out among other big names. It certainly won’t be the only game at the event, as it will also beGotham Knights' opportunity to share some updates after an equal amount of time in the shadows. Showing off other members of DC’s biggest team would go great lengths to show howSuicide Squadwill stand out, and signal the return of one of gaming’s most skilled developers. Luckily, fans won’t have to wait much longer until they get more information onSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis currently in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
