good trailer though

After Harley Quinn, it will be difficult to accept a different King Shark.

Not enough to quite get me excited. I mean, Deadshot is expected, and Boomer is as well but I'm glad they went with him. No Boomer, no buy, was my thought process.

Meh Harley. King Shark, maybe. I would've liked to see an expanded cast, though they'll probably do that with preorder bonus and DLC and such. And maybe more classic characters.


---

It's still pretty early, I wouldn't be surprised if they had more characters that they just don't want to show off yet.

Unless Rocksteady has already said otherwise.

---

I'm really surprised this is still in the Arkham continuity.

its pretty weird since Deadshots already in this continuity as a white dude

so im not sure what being the Arkhamverse gets us other than confirming its the same version of Harley. Almost everyone else should be a character that hasnt shown up in the Batman games.
---

Yeah and King Shark had his head blown off in Assault on Arkham!

---

So I keep getting mixed messaging, is this a looter game or not? Or is the Gotham one a looter?

If so, probably a hard pass from me. No interest at all in this genre.

We don't have a gameplay trailer for this one. It's possibly both? Both seem to have squad multiplayer elements. Apparently they have said it's still based on Arkham, but with guns.

We do have a gameplay trailer for Gotham Knights and it looks very much like an Arkham game, just with some weird Diablo/looter stuff tacked on. I dunno. It's really weird.

---

Did any of the Arkham games even mention Superman? Very interested to see how this continues the story of the Arkham games.

Also people are going to be so confused because Gotham Knights SEEMS to follow the ending of Arkham Knight but apparently it's not connected at all.

---

oh relly why wait that long for a game get it now

It is?
Then why isn't Harley Quinn sexy
They had one fucking job

---

Harley looked pretty awful in the Arkham games. This is way better.

---

Is anyone actually looking forward to this? The movie was so bad, basically only edgelord 15 year old girls like it because they could dress like Harley Quinn and not be judged

Yeah I don't like the settings of the Suicide Squad movie and looks like this game
It's something more targeted at "rebel teenagers" in my eyes

But the Arkham games were super good gameplay wise so who knows, maybe it will work

Suicide Squad is a fantastic property, Rocksteady is a good studio, and there are a plethora of characters that could lead to a really great gameplay experience, as well as interesting situations.


---

Suicide Squad as a franchise has had tons of excellent entries in the past, especially if you roll in Secret Six.

He's mentioned in passing in Knight, mainly to explain why he isn't getting involved (IIRC, the line is something like "If I even see a hint of a blue streak flying this way, I detonate the bombs")
---

disappointed it's just evil superman and not bizarro

---

I'm guessing they swerve and the real villain is Brainiac.

Would that even be a swerve? It's so obvious Supes is being mind-controlled by Brainiac that it would be far more of a twist if the Squad actually kills him rather than freeing him.
---

It's a very obvious swerve, I'd imagine.

Curious how that plays out. Other members of the League get controlled as well? The game is probably going to be designed to give some really cool setpieces/encounters against the League members. Curious to see them make a fun Flash one.

Probably have WW or someone say 'hey bozos, stop trying to kill Supes, help me get into Brainiac instead'

---

So are we actually going to kill Justice League characters in this game? It will still feel kind of wrong to kill them if they're all being mind controlled.

---

I hope it's just a proto-Justice Lord's universe.
