Lame. The Suicide Squad are C-list villains. Why would I want Batman with a Captain Boomerang skin that only throws batarangs rendered to look like boomerangs.
That's what happens when your bosses (Warner Bros) are desperate to chase that Fortnite money, I can't even blame Rocksteady for this since they obviously didn't want to make this.

Frankly, they should have made a Wonder Woman game as she tries to free the JL members from Braniac’s control. You free Batman first, given his position as the brains of the JL. With him, you work on freeing Flash and Green Lantern. Last, you save Superman given he is the strongest out of everyone so everyone works together to beat him. Then, as a team, they confront Braniac again who tries to control them, fails, and then the entire JL works together to take him out. Also, it is NOT part of the Arkham-verse.

Start with suicide squad since A. of course they would be the only ones left alive like in the beginning And b.

I’ve seen this rumour floating around. The two founders left and like an internet version of the game telephone fans took that to mean the entire dev team left. Sometimes good devs make bad games.
@@Yourfat247yes because they obviously would have been contracted to finish this first. Then the founders along with several key members (at least as I've heard it) left to make their own studio. Why do you think that is?
I agree Gotham Knights should have been made by Rocksteady to continue the Arkhamverse with the bat family. Hell it probably wouldn’t have been called Gotham Knights. Rocksteady will never be the same again.
Bro, imagine how amazing a Bat-family game would be! They could even keep the basic story but have Jason as the only one wanting to "Kill the Justice League". It could be so awesome!
What could have been if Gotham Knights were set in Arkhamverse: Babs is still Oracle Batgirl is Cassandra Kain (playstile is a mix of Batgirl [Arkham Knight] and younger Bruce [Origins Initiation DLC]) Robin, Nightwing and Red Hood have their playstyles.
Huge problem with this idea is that the Bat Family, especially Tim Drake, would not want to team up with Jason Todd after the events of Arkham Knight. He brought an army to take over Gotham, which resulted in Bruce being unmasked on live TV, and kidnapped Barbara.
@ It’d be one thing if Jason did the whole Under The Red Hood thing and wasn’t trusted because he tried to take over Gotham’s gangs but this guy brought an army to Gotham, destroyed huge chunks of the city, allied with the villains he claims to hate, and tried to kill his siblings. He captured one of them and she almost endured the torture he went through. The character is just Too Far Gone and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the main villain of a team up game and his spot was taken by Azrael.
@ I mean Jason was incredibly evil in battle for the cowl and grant morrison's batman and robin and now they work with him, it's a comic book game. I mean in Arkham Shadow Bruce forgave Joe Chill.
@@Milan-tp4wc The big difference is in that in the comics, Jason had and actual connection to the other characters and in Arkham Shadow, it's demonstrated throughout that game that Joe Chill has spent the past decades seeking a form of redemption. Would Jason want to seek redemption? The guy has a sick bloodlust on par with Deadshot and he murdered Black Mask for literally no reason. Hell Black Mask didn't even do anything to him. If anything those two could've really bonded as victims of The Joker, but no, Jason through him out a window.
8:02 Nightwing did nothing Azarael did nothing This was one of the worst versions of Jason Todd ever, and he never interacted with anyone besides Bruce, and Barbara in some tapes Damian, Stephanie, and Cassandra didn’t even exist The only ones done some justice were Alfred (Origins) and Barbara.
I came after the specific line of “Not that the Bat-Family didn’t have an important role to play, or that they weren’t in the games that much.” Which I addressed
Talking as someone who HATES Arkham Knights Story and agrees with all your points, thats all the more reason WHY they should've made a Batfamily game. It could've fixed Jason's character (he was good for his, like, 20 seconds of dialog in his dlc), introduced Cassandra & Steph as their "Batman & Batgirl" replacements, introduce Damian (Talia's body was missing in Arkham Knight and a Damian game was apparently considered alongside Batman Beyond) and they could've even put a focus around Harley trying to heal and move on from Joker (she was f'ing HORRIBLE in the Arkham-verse, but her dlc showed that it was at least in part thanks to a multiple personality she developed with Joker, Harleen seemingly a good...-ish person.)
@@eonnexus I’m not disagreeing with that a follow-up to the Arkham series should’ve been a Bat-Family game. Just wanted to address this line in the video. But yeah. Seeing more of League of Assassins and Damian would’ve been a major plus to the Arkham-verse. And I’m not even someone who hates SSKTJL or Gotham Knights. They’re just lukewarm for me. Very underwhelming
@@eonnexus The foundations for the Batfamily characters were awful. They couldn't really be salvaged from that. Tim acting nothing like Tim and Jason being a war criminal aren't really things that can easily be overlooked.
You really gotta think that WB is trying to kill it's business because like you said, WB montreal had a suicide squad game cooking up but it got cancelled (wasted money), and it wouldve been a natural progression for rocksteady to make gotham knights. This level of fuckery has to be on purpose
What i heard it wasn't canceled originally WB montreal was making SS but WB gave the game to rocksteady and the issue is that rocksteady makes combat games but WB wanted a Looter-shooter
In Rocksteadys defense, how much of this was actually them vs warner bros // how many times has this been scrapped and restarted? I mean we all know many of the original dev team left when they were tasked with making a game (or shortly thereafter) they didn't want to make. Either way it's a once legendary studio that is going to get closed most likely. Gotham knights at least tried and I'd rather play that than this
I remember when none of the DC games where announced and there was a rumour about a game called Batman Arkham Legacy, it also would apparently have Batwoman, Damian, & court of owls, that would of been miles better to have. Especially seeing the hole bat-family together
That game turned into Gotham Knights. On Reddit someone leaked a bunch of concept art for the game if you’re interested. Looks like they kept the map from that game so there are remnants of it left.
I agree 100%. They could've made a game centering the Batfamily. Have Red Hood, Nightwing, Oracle and Robin. Couldve even included Azrael and Catwoman in Batman's absence. They could've introduced players to new characters such as Cassandra Cain/the second Batgirl, Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, Luke Fox, and Kate Kane/Batwoman (who was mentioned in Arkham Knight).
10:02 what's annoying is every single guide explicitly says nightwing is the only one equal to batman and the best fighter batman ever trained, the only time its shown is in arkham vr when a bloodlusted batman fights a holding back nightwing and manages to fend him off with a broken jaw and arm, there is soo much potential here instead of suicide squad
It’s hinted that Kate Kane is bat woman in the Arkham verse in a voice msg so that could have been the fourth with oracle as support. Oracle could have also had playable parts like the commander role from bf4 looking over the map supporting the team.
I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine where the Arkham games are a time capsule. Because it was pre-Harley Push by the studios. So, it goes to show you the sudden pivot they took Harley when its flat out inaccurate to the mythological that was being constructed. Just like how they had to bend over backwards to explain Deadshot. Performance wise I think the performer did a good Joker. He was funny and quirky but it’s just the choice of Joker felt like the studio was so hungry for your money. Like how he is in the first Suicide Squad movie to get buts in the chair. He’s like a lure to fish out buyers and that’s the weakness. It is crazy how many good characters could have made the cut for the squad. Also going to toss this out there but a Batwoman game dealing with Supernatural crime and creatures sounds like it could be oodles of fun.
For those of you that played the Batman sections of this game you’ll notice how they feel like they are taken out of a different game. They are so well done it’s so drastic when comparing it to other parts of the game. I think this was a completely different game up until WB was having money problems and Microsoft almost bought out their gaming division. They then changed course and turned it into a liveservice looter shooter. It makes no sense that this took 9 years. Something happened behind the scenes
That ooooooor they should Flashpoint Batman game cus i always find Thomas Wayne Batman before Tom king ruined him interesting especially how Martha Wayne is the Joker
Yo dawg, no glazing but the content is fire dude 🔥 dope takes that are also informative and the memes throughout lowkey make me laugh 😂 keep it up gang
I would have liked an Arkham story that followed up from Arkham Knight by adding Cassandra Cain to the Bruce-less Bat Family. She would be the fourth character added to fill the Batgirl space, with Dick or Tim as the team leader (I say Tim because, unlike Dick, he stays in Gotham). Cassandra could serve as a character in that middle space between "no killing" Dick and Tim and "definitely killing" Jason, a former young assassin who wants to change her ways. She could be the youngest in the group unfamiliar with Bat stuff or the rogues gallery, and thus used to tutorialize the player about the gadgets and combat.
Better answer....ROCKSTEADY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE GOTHAM KNIGHTS AND SET IT IN ARKHAMVERSE! It already would have been better premise and idea than GK we got.
In Rock Steady's defence, they pitched a Superman game to warner bros after BAK but they rejected it.but still if they wanted a game around a group of bad guys doing missions they could have done the rouges i mean these guys are underrated af and have better weapons than the suicide squad like i always wanted to have captain colds freez gun
Damian should be included. I am tired of casual fake fans that only watch Injustice 2 youtube shorts Imagine not liking Superman cause of Injustice. The character has had thousands of heartfelt moments in the comics, especially with Bruce,Nightwing and Alfred. Nightwing isnt some brother he doesnt like,he is his big bro. He literally has the best relationship with Bruce the last few years All the other Robins just fight Bruce everytime they meet him in the 2020s. If you want to see the ACTUAL character then here are the following things you should read on DC Nuclear Winter Robin 2021 Series DCSEASED The whole series with Leviathan and The Heretic. Super Sons comics DC Trinity cause its hilarious Shadow Wars Batman 666(read carefully cause its complicated and can lead to misunderstandings of the story) He is a great character that was given complex dynamics and tons of development. He should never be emitted from batfamily projects. Its definitely nowhere near as bad as it was,years back you couldn't read any comments on the character without people making extremely violent comments about a 10 year old(imagine those guys as parents,jesus) But a lot of people are still stuck on Injustice for some reason. And even the comics for Injustice give a lot more context than the games. You really think a writer like Grant Morrison would favor a bad character? Or James Gunn would have a bad character as his favourite Robin? I am mostly talking to some people here The ones that make violent comments or just enjoy seeing the character get brutalized in dont matter,i dont count those as "people",those are animals and not in the impressive badass way you say someone is an animal,more like a disgusting and weak animals
"Injustice, despite being a great elseworld story, made a lot of things popular that shouldn't be, like evil Superman (which is why characters like Homelander and Omni-Man are so popular nowadays). Also, everyone is pretty terrible in Injustice, not just Damian. If you watch his appearances in the DC Animated Movie Universe, you'll see that he actually develops. He starts off as an annoying character, but as the movies progress, he becomes calmer and calmer, until in "Apokolips War" where he sacrifices himself to save his father. In "The Death of Superman", at the end of the film, you see him comforting Bruce, which is unusual for his character. I hope his live-action movie debut in a few years does him justice because everyone hates him for killing Nightwing in Injustice. But if you read the comics, he's basically like an older brother to him, even though Damian doesn't acknowledge it."
A game where you play as these 3 directly after arkham knight and they have to fend off gothams crime and solve bruce’s “death”. Have nightmare batman be the end fight and have batman say “this was a test… now i know gotham can be protected without me” and then he goes and joins the JL
This is an understatement. They should have an entire to do list before they get anywhere close to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. That's basically end game for the end of the universe after you've done everything else. Arkham Games Bat-Family Superman Wonder Woman Teen Titans Justice League Suicide Squad (not kill the justice league) Maybe a few other independent heroes. Then, after all that, maybe end the universe with this game. As you can see, they threw ALL that potential in the trash.
Game idea: I think and Azrial/ robin and Nightwing game would be amazing. The story is is that after the events of Arkham Knight robin(tim drake) has to work with Nightwing to minimize the city's out of control crime because bloodheavens criminals are rushing in to take advantage of the confusion after their riots caused by Scarecrow's fear toxin and they run into azrael who's trying to become the new Batman but is still too violent so robin and nightwing have to stop him from taking it to far. The main villains wild be the Order that controlled Azrael And to make the fans happy half way(or the end) of the game u investigate the murder of black mask leading back to the Arkham Knight dlc that Red Hood is in action.
I think this Joker is fine. It reminds me of Emperor Joker. I'd never pay good money for Suicide Squad, but I'd definitely buy it for 5 bucks like I did with Avengers.
The next rookstedy game shod be a cyborg game for the foloing rezons: 1. Cyborg is the lest respectit JL member by WB, he dosen't have his own show nor move not even his own comics like hes a the onliy JL member thet dosen't have nofing of his own. 2. Hes blak, and big companis (like WB) love making shows,moves or video games with the main caracter/carcters ar blak. 3. Cyborg bein a cyborg has a gagets to and rookstedy can do a lot with they're experinc with gagets and cyborg bein a machin can feal emotion/have felings harder just like Batman.
Honestly the rocksteady we once knew is too far gone to even want them to return to even trust with batman again. If monolith deliver a great game with Wonder Woman then they absolutely should be the new guys to take a crack at a new Batman game featuring the nemesis system. If there’s one thing good you can take from rocksteady still is that they are really good at developing engaging traversal mechanics I personally think they’d be better off making taking on a solo flash project
They were gonna screw up Killer Frost because she doesn't use guns so they needed someone like Freeze instead. But like they had "Lady Boomerang" they had to get a female Freeze that's super better than the original...
A Batman Beyond game would've been perfect for the Arkhamverse but they wasted it for Woke Squad. It's like Warner Brothers is allergic to good ideas and making money.
Or just make kill the justis lege take place in like erth 3-5 and Earth 2 is relly erth 4-6, gotham kints is erth 2/3, and they main 4 Arkham games (Arkham Coletin and Arkham Origins) are in Earth 1, wich is left unthace, they are 14 gaming univers Earths becase they are 14 brainiacs, Earth 14 is the lego Earth from the gaming univers, injustis is like Earth 8-10. Rokestedy next game shod be a singhel player cyborg game, one of the 14 Earth, not tene tintans, becase it will have a lot of similaritis to the 4 Arkham games with the gagets, and unlike Batman cyborg has a stebel fling becase of his jetpaks.
It would have been really cool if the game started off with you trying to defeat a mind-controlled Batman, and then the game becomes a Batman: Save the Justice League game.
When I heard about the Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad games being announced, and one of them was a sequel to the Arkham series, and Gotham Knights had a dead Batman with the Bat family trying to pick up the pieces and move forward to carry the legacy, I assumed Gotham Knights was the sequel. I really, really wish it had been. This has all been a waste of potential.
Dc definitely needs to step it up no doubt. I’ve liked marvels out put of single player games but I’m not convinced on what they have coming forward until I see gameplay. The captain America and black panther game could be a cinematic choice game for all we know 😂
Come on, Dick, getting caught by Penguin? That's embarassing... Well, at least you weren't killed by Harley. Could you imagine getting captured by her and some stupid friends of hers? Oof, that would suck.
At the end of the day, you need look no further than the people who were involved in making the game to see that it was simply people who hate the previous games, the source material, and even the fans. That studio is simply not the same as the studio that made the Arkham games
Still don’t understand why it was a gender bent MrFreeze instead of an alternate timeline where Victor contradicted the disease so now we see Nora do whatever it takes to save her husband. MrFreeze is such a popular story about love so seeing the flip side of that and seeing the wife’s love for him would’ve been nice
It shouldn't be this hard to produce new story content for a Suicide Squad game. I mean, i dont like the whole killing the JL aspect, but if they had to continue it, what if they added new missions where you have to kill other Justice League members, such as Aquaman, Cyborg, Hawkman or Captain Marvel?
after all this months i still keep thinking "why?!just why?!!!" when i see anything that has to do with that shitty game!i dont mind when a game "flops" but when you think what they could had done with a new arkham game....why?...just fing why????
Dude I’ve been saying this since the first Arkham knight trailer, where they showed Robin, nightwing and Batman standing next to each other. Instead we got garbage asf Gotham Knights and the suicide squad
Or they should’ve made another Batman game where Bruce Wayne had too come back as Batman too stop brainiac and brainwash justice league members and at the end he dies saving the world
Imagine if suicide squad had arkham combat. Deadshot plays like red hood, harley like she was in her DLC, boomerang just throws a bunch of battarangs that are boomerangs, and king shark plays like a titan thug

@@Milan-tp4wc The big difference is in that in the comics, Jason had and actual connection to the other characters and in Arkham Shadow, it's demonstrated throughout that game that Joe Chill has spent the past decades seeking a form of redemption. Would Jason want to seek redemption? The guy has a sick bloodlust on par with Deadshot and he murdered Black Mask for literally no reason. Hell Black Mask didn't even do anything to him. If anything those two could've really bonded as victims of The Joker, but no, Jason through him out a window.
8:02
Nightwing did nothing
Azarael did nothing
This was one of the worst versions of Jason Todd ever, and he never interacted with anyone besides Bruce, and Barbara in some tapes
Damian, Stephanie, and Cassandra didn’t even exist
The only ones done some justice were Alfred (Origins) and Barbara.
All the more reason to give them more screentime.
I came after the specific line of “Not that the Bat-Family didn’t have an important role to play, or that they weren’t in the games that much.”
Which I addressed
Talking as someone who HATES Arkham Knights Story and agrees with all your points, thats all the more reason WHY they should've made a Batfamily game. It could've fixed Jason's character (he was good for his, like, 20 seconds of dialog in his dlc), introduced Cassandra & Steph as their "Batman & Batgirl" replacements, introduce Damian (Talia's body was missing in Arkham Knight and a Damian game was apparently considered alongside Batman Beyond) and they could've even put a focus around Harley trying to heal and move on from Joker (she was f'ing HORRIBLE in the Arkham-verse, but her dlc showed that it was at least in part thanks to a multiple personality she developed with Joker, Harleen seemingly a good...-ish person.)
@@eonnexus I’m not disagreeing with that a follow-up to the Arkham series should’ve been a Bat-Family game. Just wanted to address this line in the video. But yeah. Seeing more of League of Assassins and Damian would’ve been a major plus to the Arkham-verse. And I’m not even someone who hates SSKTJL or Gotham Knights. They’re just lukewarm for me. Very underwhelming
@@eonnexus The foundations for the Batfamily characters were awful. They couldn't really be salvaged from that. Tim acting nothing like Tim and Jason being a war criminal aren't really things that can easily be overlooked.
Should’ve been a red hood game where he’s killing off the villains in Gotham
??? If they had done that it wouldn’t be set in the Arkham verse
@@Juicytracksuitxx ?????? they didn't need to set KTJL in the arkham verse either
@@Yourfat247 are u slow???
You really gotta think that WB is trying to kill it's business because like you said, WB montreal had a suicide squad game cooking up but it got cancelled (wasted money), and it wouldve been a natural progression for rocksteady to make gotham knights. This level of fuckery has to be on purpose
What i heard it wasn't canceled originally WB montreal was making SS but WB gave the game to rocksteady and the issue is that rocksteady makes combat games but WB wanted a Looter-shooter
Man fuck Batman, we need a game where you can fight enemies as Alfred Pennyworth
Too overpower
4:26 to be fair, it's been like what? 7-10 years? Life can change in that time.
Only five years
😂nah we are in the WORST TIMELINE. Everything is going wrong. We need someone to step in a fix these games now
In Rocksteadys defense, how much of this was actually them vs warner bros // how many times has this been scrapped and restarted?
I mean we all know many of the original dev team left when they were tasked with making a game (or shortly thereafter) they didn't want to make.
Either way it's a once legendary studio that is going to get closed most likely.
Gotham knights at least tried and I'd rather play that than this
We can all agree that WB had a hand in the problem but Rocksteady can't be excused for all of the bad decisions (story and narrative)
@@FiniteXbc I agree, Rocksteady def screwed up. Just a shame really.
If only it was batman vs the justice league game
I normally hate that narrative but as a game, that s^it would be goated😂
The game we deserved
Green Arrow would have been better, dude has arrows with punching gloves.
@@kendi5391Green Arrow was brought on to keep the league honest. But in all seriousness this is basically Injustice.
Rocksteady should’ve made Gotham Knights as an Arkham spin off and WB should’ve made Suicide Squad as its own universe, what a miss
I remember when none of the DC games where announced and there was a rumour about a game called Batman Arkham Legacy, it also would apparently have Batwoman, Damian, & court of owls, that would of been miles better to have. Especially seeing the hole bat-family together
That game turned into Gotham Knights. On Reddit someone leaked a bunch of concept art for the game if you’re interested. Looks like they kept the map from that game so there are remnants of it left.
I agree 100%. They could've made a game centering the Batfamily. Have Red Hood, Nightwing, Oracle and Robin. Couldve even included Azrael and Catwoman in Batman's absence. They could've introduced players to new characters such as Cassandra Cain/the second Batgirl, Stephanie Brown/Spoiler, Luke Fox, and Kate Kane/Batwoman (who was mentioned in Arkham Knight).
Can they just bring back the Batman beyond game
Asking for quality from Rocksteady is too much at this point. I expect only incompetence from them.
10:02 what's annoying is every single guide explicitly says nightwing is the only one equal to batman and the best fighter batman ever trained, the only time its shown is in arkham vr when a bloodlusted batman fights a holding back nightwing and manages to fend him off with a broken jaw and arm, there is soo much potential here instead of suicide squad
Black spider mentioned 🕷️🕷️🕷️
It’s hinted that Kate Kane is bat woman in the Arkham verse in a voice msg so that could have been the fourth with oracle as support. Oracle could have also had playable parts like the commander role from bf4 looking over the map supporting the team.
Rock Steady fumbled the bag seriously
8:00 wait… when were they all in the clock tower like this? In a trailer? It honestly looks amazing seeing them all together like that
Rocksteady and WB Montréal should've swapped projects
I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine where the Arkham games are a time capsule. Because it was pre-Harley Push by the studios.
So, it goes to show you the sudden pivot they took Harley when its flat out inaccurate to the mythological that was being constructed. Just like how they had to bend over backwards to explain Deadshot.
Performance wise I think the performer did a good Joker.
He was funny and quirky but it’s just the choice of Joker felt like the studio was so hungry for your money.
Like how he is in the first Suicide Squad movie to get buts in the chair.
He’s like a lure to fish out buyers and that’s the weakness.
It is crazy how many good characters could have made the cut for the squad.
Also going to toss this out there but a Batwoman game dealing with Supernatural crime and creatures sounds like it could be oodles of fun.
For those of you that played the Batman sections of this game you’ll notice how they feel like they are taken out of a different game. They are so well done it’s so drastic when comparing it to other parts of the game. I think this was a completely different game up until WB was having money problems and Microsoft almost bought out their gaming division. They then changed course and turned it into a liveservice looter shooter. It makes no sense that this took 9 years. Something happened behind the scenes
That ooooooor they should Flashpoint Batman game cus i always find Thomas Wayne Batman before Tom king ruined him interesting especially how Martha Wayne is the Joker
The funniest thing is dc universe online despite being an old game of 13 years with less graphics has player base to this day.
Yo dawg, no glazing but the content is fire dude 🔥 dope takes that are also informative and the memes throughout lowkey make me laugh 😂 keep it up gang
the twinkler is more appropriate imo
Great video u got a new sub💯
I would have liked an Arkham story that followed up from Arkham Knight by adding Cassandra Cain to the Bruce-less Bat Family. She would be the fourth character added to fill the Batgirl space, with Dick or Tim as the team leader (I say Tim because, unlike Dick, he stays in Gotham).
Cassandra could serve as a character in that middle space between "no killing" Dick and Tim and "definitely killing" Jason, a former young assassin who wants to change her ways. She could be the youngest in the group unfamiliar with Bat stuff or the rogues gallery, and thus used to tutorialize the player about the gadgets and combat.
I want the Arkham origins remaster.
Imagine if suicide squad had arkham combat. Deadshot plays like
Better answer....ROCKSTEADY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE GOTHAM KNIGHTS AND SET IT IN ARKHAMVERSE! It already would have been better premise and idea than GK we got.
11:15 that moment needed a HMMM
Imagine if they did a Red Hood game. It could take some inspiration from The Punisher PS2 game
In Rock Steady's defence, they pitched a Superman game to warner bros after BAK but they rejected it.but still if they wanted a game around a group of bad guys doing missions they could have done the rouges i mean these guys are underrated af and have better weapons than the suicide squad like i always wanted to have captain colds freez gun
Damian should be included.
I am tired of casual fake fans that only watch Injustice 2 youtube shorts
Imagine not liking Superman cause of Injustice.
The character has had thousands of heartfelt moments in the comics, especially with Bruce,Nightwing and Alfred.
Nightwing isnt some brother he doesnt like,he is his big bro.
He literally has the best relationship with Bruce the last few years
All the other Robins just fight Bruce everytime they meet him in the 2020s.
If you want to see the ACTUAL character then here are the following things you should read on
DC Nuclear Winter
Robin 2021 Series
DCSEASED
The whole series with Leviathan and The Heretic.
Super Sons comics
DC Trinity cause its hilarious
Shadow Wars
Batman 666(read carefully cause its complicated and can lead to misunderstandings of the story)
He is a great character that was given complex dynamics and tons of development.
He should never be emitted from batfamily projects.
Its definitely nowhere near as bad as it was,years back you couldn't read any comments on the character without people making extremely violent comments about a 10 year old(imagine those guys as parents,jesus)
But a lot of people are still stuck on Injustice for some reason.
And even the comics for Injustice give a lot more context than the games.
You really think a writer like Grant Morrison would favor a bad character?
Or James Gunn would have a bad character as his favourite Robin?
I am mostly talking to some people here
The ones that make violent comments or just enjoy seeing the character get brutalized in dont matter,i dont count those as "people",those are animals and not in the impressive badass way you say someone is an animal,more like a disgusting and weak animals
you do realise that Damien is hated across media and not just injustice right?
@@Yourfat247nope, he's one of the most loved characters
"Injustice, despite being a great elseworld story, made a lot of things popular that shouldn't be, like evil Superman (which is why characters like Homelander and Omni-Man are so popular nowadays). Also, everyone is pretty terrible in Injustice, not just Damian. If you watch his appearances in the DC Animated Movie Universe, you'll see that he actually develops. He starts off as an annoying character, but as the movies progress, he becomes calmer and calmer, until in "Apokolips War" where he sacrifices himself to save his father. In "The Death of Superman", at the end of the film, you see him comforting Bruce, which is unusual for his character. I hope his live-action movie debut in a few years does him justice because everyone hates him for killing Nightwing in Injustice. But if you read the comics, he's basically like an older brother to him, even though Damian doesn't acknowledge it."
You are cooking with deez vids bro keep it up
Suicide squad makes avengers looks like the Arkham games
A game where you play as these 3 directly after arkham knight and they have to fend off gothams crime and solve bruce’s “death”. Have nightmare batman be the end fight and have batman say “this was a test… now i know gotham can be protected without me” and then he goes and joins the JL
This is an understatement. They should have an entire to do list before they get anywhere close to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. That's basically end game for the end of the universe after you've done everything else.
Arkham Games
Bat-Family
Superman
Wonder Woman
Teen Titans
Justice League
Suicide Squad (not kill the justice league)
Maybe a few other independent heroes. Then, after all that, maybe end the universe with this game. As you can see, they threw ALL that potential in the trash.
That ain't The Joker that's ''The Guy Who's Makin' Jokes''
Game idea: I think and Azrial/ robin and Nightwing game would be amazing.
The story is is that after the events of Arkham Knight robin(tim drake) has to work with Nightwing to minimize the city's out of control crime because bloodheavens criminals are rushing in to take advantage of the confusion after their riots caused by Scarecrow's fear toxin and they run into azrael who's trying to become the new Batman but is still too violent so robin and nightwing have to stop him from taking it to far. The main villains wild be the Order that controlled Azrael
And to make the fans happy half way(or the end) of the game u investigate the murder of black mask leading back to the Arkham Knight dlc that Red Hood is in action.
I think this Joker is fine. It reminds me of Emperor Joker. I'd never pay good money for Suicide Squad, but I'd definitely buy it for 5 bucks like I did with Avengers.
Could have also easily made a Batman: Arkham Beyond game with Kevin Conroy and Will Friedle
0:58 Love to see the goat, Knightwing01 show up - even if he has been a bit iffy these days
@@dawudabdulali3827 Simply put, he's starting to become one of those "go woke, go broke, M-SHE-U" type of RUclipsrs, just slightly though
@@Batman-fg4wuSounds based to me. The MSHEU is real, after all.
@@Batman-fg4wu ermmm thas sho based🤓☝️
@@harlannguyen4048 I haven't really been tapped into the MCU for a while but, from what I've heard it just sounds like bad writing
@@Batman-fg4wu He's a whiny right-wing grifter now.
Can you make a vid talking about a Arkham reboot and the games it should include?
Just declare Suicide Squad officially non canon and make a sequel, preferably the cancelled game
To be fair, he WASN'T ment to be a dark Joker like in Arkham. He was supposed to be the Silver Age one.
still the silver age is NOTHING like season 1 joker
The next rookstedy game shod be a cyborg game for the foloing rezons:
1. Cyborg is the lest respectit JL member by WB, he dosen't have his own show nor move not even his own comics like hes a the onliy JL member thet dosen't have nofing of his own.
2. Hes blak, and big companis (like WB) love making shows,moves or video games with the main caracter/carcters ar blak.
3. Cyborg bein a cyborg has a gagets to and rookstedy can do a lot with they're experinc with gagets and cyborg bein a machin can feal emotion/have felings harder just like Batman.
This version of joker reminds me so much of that guy who dressed up as willy wonka that was popular on tik tok forever ago 💀
8:01 Did they add all of them in a trailer?
You wanna know why I just subscribed to you because you always speak the truth
Honestly the rocksteady we once knew is too far gone to even want them to return to even trust with batman again. If monolith deliver a great game with Wonder Woman then they absolutely should be the new guys to take a crack at a new Batman game featuring the nemesis system. If there’s one thing good you can take from rocksteady still is that they are really good at developing engaging traversal mechanics I personally think they’d be better off making taking on a solo flash project
Why did they add the comedian😭
They were gonna screw up Killer Frost because she doesn't use guns so they needed someone like Freeze instead. But like they had "Lady Boomerang" they had to get a female Freeze that's super better than the original...
Wb Montreal and rocksteady should've just switched projects honestly it would fix so many issues of both games
How would you feel about them potentially resurrecting Kevin Conroy with AI to give him a better send-off?
A Batman Beyond game would've been perfect for the Arkhamverse but they wasted it for Woke Squad. It's like Warner Brothers is allergic to good ideas and making money.
Or just make kill the justis lege take place in like erth 3-5 and Earth 2 is relly erth 4-6, gotham kints is erth 2/3, and they main 4 Arkham games (Arkham Coletin and Arkham Origins) are in Earth 1, wich is left unthace, they are 14 gaming univers Earths becase they are 14 brainiacs, Earth 14 is the lego Earth from the gaming univers, injustis is like Earth 8-10. Rokestedy next game shod be a singhel player cyborg game, one of the 14 Earth, not tene tintans, becase it will have a lot of similaritis to the 4 Arkham games with the gagets, and unlike Batman cyborg has a stebel fling becase of his jetpaks.
12:25 I’ll hold you to that! 😏
DC UNIVERSE ONLINE MENTIONED, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU LEVEL UP AFTER LEVEL 30?!?!?!?!'
It would have been really cool if the game started off with you trying to defeat a mind-controlled Batman, and then the game becomes a Batman: Save the Justice League game.
When I heard about the Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad games being announced, and one of them was a sequel to the Arkham series, and Gotham Knights had a dead Batman with the Bat family trying to pick up the pieces and move forward to carry the legacy, I assumed Gotham Knights was the sequel. I really, really wish it had been. This has all been a waste of potential.
Dc definitely needs to step it up no doubt. I’ve liked marvels out put of single player games but I’m not convinced on what they have coming forward until I see gameplay. The captain America and black panther game could be a cinematic choice game for all we know 😂
Come on, Dick, getting caught by Penguin? That's embarassing...
Well, at least you weren't killed by Harley. Could you imagine getting captured by her and some stupid friends of hers? Oof, that would suck.
At the end of the day, you need look no further than the people who were involved in making the game to see that it was simply people who hate the previous games, the source material, and even the fans. That studio is simply not the same as the studio that made the Arkham games
The joker looks like Alan cummings
Still don’t understand why it was a gender bent MrFreeze instead of an alternate timeline where Victor contradicted the disease so now we see Nora do whatever it takes to save her husband. MrFreeze is such a popular story about love so seeing the flip side of that and seeing the wife’s love for him would’ve been nice
Bro we're in the wrong timeline why can we have nice things 😢 WB is F F F F FUMBLEING
It shouldn't be this hard to produce new story content for a Suicide Squad game. I mean, i dont like the whole killing the JL aspect, but if they had to continue it, what if they added new missions where you have to kill other Justice League members, such as Aquaman, Cyborg, Hawkman or Captain Marvel?
Aye man, don’t bash dc universe online, that game lit af!!! 😂 (but like actually)
I loved origins , never understood the hate
after all this months i still keep thinking "why?!just why?!!!" when i see anything that has to do with that shitty game!i dont mind when a game "flops" but when you think what they could had done with a new arkham game....why?...just fing why????
Dude I’ve been saying this since the first Arkham knight trailer, where they showed Robin, nightwing and Batman standing next to each other. Instead we got garbage asf Gotham Knights and the suicide squad
Hear me out: Cassandra Cain game, with Barbra training her to be the new bat in Gotham. I’m just sayin
This video was all fax with that Batfamily idea. This really is the worse timeline.
Or they should’ve made another Batman game where Bruce Wayne had too come back as Batman too stop brainiac and brainwash justice league members and at the end he dies saving the world
comment of all "TIME" 4/5 sleepless
I'd rather play a game focusing on 'Mazing Man cat sitting over playing more than an hour of this game, and I haven't even bought this game.
Give up on Rocksteady. Give up on WB. Give up on quality DC games. They don't have a good future ahead.
Dude marvel's avengers wasn't that bad the microtransations where just cosmetic it didn't matter
Lege batman 4 will save DC gaming 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 (if it's still happening)
Oh I'm praying for that please let that happen!
