Earth’s greatest heroes have been taken over by the evil Brainiac, forcing Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark to team up and eliminate them.Suicide Squad’s Batman-focused Game Awards 2022 trailerfeatured a badly injured Flash and a version ofArkham’s Caped Crusader that seems willing to break his cardinal rule against killing, and it seems thatKill the Justice Leaguemay have even more violence and dark humor in store for players.
