    I like the fact that you mentioned that Boomerang shouldn’t be at the Asylum… but you forgot to mention that Arkham Asylum shouldn’t even be open at this point since it was closed after the events of the first game.

      @@brainfreezecommentaries I am aware of that comic but is it canon to the game? Cause in the past, no one knew for certain as to what is canon or not canon to the franchise. Like for example in one Arkham Knight comic, Boomerang died. Then in that Assault on Arkham movie, King Shark had a different design AND he died. Speaking of that movie, Task Force X was already a thing way before the events of Arkham Asylum and it even had the members of this new Squad (Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark and Boomerang). It also implied that Deadshot killed Waller at the end of the movie. But I guess that movie is not canon since this game exist

      Video games are hard to not have plot holes. I'm not defending this pile of shit....I don't spend money on games demonizing and weakening heros I grew up on...I'm just saying. For example...batman earns the prototype grapnel boost in arkham city in 2011... yet he has it in arkham origins 7 years prior? It because your exploring all of gotham on origins and not having the boost would be too time consuming if you don't want to fast travel. So some games have to break the mold

Bullshit. as is Green Lantern in that he willingly followed him. So, his defeat is cathartic. He is the bad guy (though I acknowledge some people side with him in general). We know why he is a dick and what he has done to become a dick. That doesn't exist in this game. Superman and the rest of the JL aren't responsible for their deeds in this game. They are brainwashed or clones/drones or clones/drones that are brainwashed by Brainiac. Their brutal demise is not cathartic, unless you are a scumbag sadist. It is actually the opposite and that outcome demands catharsis, but here we find a flaw. The catharsis others and I wish to see is against the Squad. Which we aren't going to get.

    flash regrowing his finger is absolutely a developer oversight and does not contribute to the clone theory at all.
    wanna know why?
    Well, how about looking re-watching the very next scene the flash is in?
    Where he alters the bullets trajectory by touching it.
    In this exact scene, one finger should be missing on his hand.
    It's still there though.
    Like, it's LITERALLY the next scene where the flash is involved.
    It's the same hand / side where his finger got cut off from.

    One Thing that this game does that I’ve always hated about the fear toxin is that because it’s comics, they have to make it a thing where they fight it both mentally and physically and I never understood what that shit looks like in an outsiders point of view? Like are they all shooting randomly until they hit Batman? Or is it all just like that South Park bit where Eric Cartman has a battle of the mines in his living room against a bunch of telepath and they’re all just making random bullshit up while shouting sound effects? I think they should’ve mixed the fear toxin with the yellow lantern rings. They already raped the laws of the lanterns in this universe so why not make Batman a yellow lantern using the fear toxin, his intimidation tactics, and making manbat constructs or something to attack them. Maybe other Batmen or other characters in the bat family or attack the Batmobile, have him fly around in the cave in the batwing. They could have him do literally anything, it could’ve been tons of fun

      The designers could have designed it so that Batman's gadgets are represented by hallucinations (a massive clawed hand reaching out at you turns out to be his Bat-Claw, a weird flame erupting from the ground is his explosive gel, lightning strikes are actually from his remote electrical cannon). If a squad member is shooting at nothing, we should get instances of different villains weirded out by the squaddie's behavior. If the moment looks goofy, then GREAT, use that as humor. The game is supposed to be funny, so be funny!
      Everything you mention that is strange is exactly what could be useful to deliver dramatic or humorous impact. But this game wasn't able to capitalize on the opportunity, mainly because it's a looter shooter that can't allow for diversity in gameplay or player experiences (and because the writer seems to have an allergy to good comedy). EVERYONE has to do "shoot gun at bad guy".

    What I didn't get is, unlike other SQ Stories, the Team usually has a designated Handler that's on the ground with them to keep the goal focused. Sometimes there's a member of the Squad that is more loyal to Waller than others (Assault on Arkham's Deadshot) and a secret agent within the Squad (Assault on Arkham's Killer Frost). In the JLU, Rick Flag was actually on the ground in the Field w/ the Squad, so he was there to ensure everyone stuck to the plan. Rick Flag is the Team Leader w/ Peacemaker being the secret agent in the recent SQ movie as well.
    If Rocksteady/Sweetbaby wanted to ride on the coattails of the previous success of SQ, they should have had a 5th member assisting the Team. Someone who wasn't a moron, and actually stuck to the plan instead of bickering like a bunch of idiots. There is no defining member of the team, no one who holds themselves together and no one who acts like the leader.

    The thing is, the Suicide Squad was never meant to be this "in case the Justice League goes rogue" type group. We can somewhat blame the DCEU for that one (as well as this sudden need for a black Deadshot)
    Task Force X is normally portrayed as a covert group that is sent on missions that the government can't do themselves for one reason or another. It also makes way more sense that way. If they complete the mission, they get their sentence reduced. These missions are also more times than not suicidal (hence Suicide Squad) and on the chance that they're caught they can easily be throw under the bus given their criminal backgrounds.

But there's a few things I feel don't really see as holding a lot of weight. Namely, the reddit theory of the JL being clones? That's not even backed up by anything in game, that's literally just military grade copium from people who have run out of evidence for their points, dignifying it isn't worth a mention, since it's clearly not the intent of the game in its current state.

    It would make more sense for Gotham Knights to take place in the Arkhamverse than this now that I think about it. Batman dies and his former sidekicks have to carry on his legacy protecting Gotham. That was basically Gotham Knights in a nutshell and the ending of Arkham Knight had that exact same endind instead of this where you had to set up the JLA and kill them all in the same game keeping in mind that in order to even kill Superman(A good Superman whos holding back to boot) by himself it took Doomsday to do it. Last time i checked none of these villains even come close to that level of power so in order to kill the Justice League with these guys id take some major plot armor or just some characters making stupid choices

    I personally liked Gotham Knights. True compared to the Arkham games it is nowhere close, but it's a 7/10 game imo and sometimes I just wanna play 7/10 games. It's just nice you know. Story I would say it's 8/10 as pretty good and enjoyed the story aspect the best past being the ending where Batman very slightly regains his mind and destroys himself and the Lazarus pit so he can't be brought back using it again. I also love how we see the Bat family interrupting him recording the video we saw at the start showing the good old days and how much they all cared for each other. And although it's easy to say Arkham is without a doubt the best style of gameplay for the Bat Family in general I think doing something different is something that should be tried.
    SSKTJL on the other hand has a shit story. Where Gotham Knights gave Batman a heroic sacrifice as a death with people respecting and mourning him SSKTJL just instead shat on his chest and shared it on twitter in comparison.
    Where Gotham Knights had good written characters we play as that stays true to the lore SSKTJL can't even keep their characters consistent with the source material they specifically made and said it was following.
    Where Gotham Knights had a complete story that had a beginning that leads through believable events resulting in an ending the beginning and story lead up to SSKTJL does have a setup (though already goes against the previous games lore in it), but has a jumbled mess the rest of the game that makes no sense (Green Lantern can instantly capture them, but doesn't in the boss fight, Flash can instantly run up to them and tear out their hearts, but doesn't, Batman without fear toxin took them all out easily, but couldn't with fear toxin, Superman beat Wonder Woman, but not these 4 asshats and Brainiac can freeze them and teleport them to his ship instantly, but doesn't) and the ending does not exist and the closest thing we have to one is anti climatic as fuck.
    Whereas Gotham Knights is sort of a 3D Beat Em Up with loot mechanics (I have no problem with loot mechanics personally as long as I can beat it without paying. Kinda feels like an RPG in some ways) SSKTJL is just Fortnite with connection issues and a 90$ price tag.
    Where Gotham Knights has 4 people Batman trained in order to make them worthy successors take on his brainwashed in the end which is believable SSKTJL has 2 people he one shot every encounter he had with them and 2 people in a movie closer lore wise he also easily beat and that movie had more people he took on at the same time 2 of which were even stronger than any of these 4. And he was in a warehouse which unlike the Batcave is not as much of a home advantage. Espeically seeing as a warehouse would be much closer to a home advantage to them as neither of them has even seen the Batcave with the exception of Panessa Studios with harley in Knight.

    WAIT A MINUTE. Wouldn't the Green Lantern being mind controlled and having his worst negative traits amped mean he can't wield the ring anymore as not only is his will power dampned by mind control but but his rage, fears, grief and greed would also be amped.... it would have made more sense for him to be a Red Lantern or a Yellow Lantern seeing as a Batman Skin implies the Yellow Lanterns exist in the Arkhamverse. Also can the flash really stay mind controlled for long wouldn't his healing factor work any chemicals out of his body fast, as in like minutes. Supes probably the same issue honestly; hell if i'm being honest they probably should have made the JL slowly resort to greyer and greyer means of stopping Brainiac until they start fighting over solutions ultimately doing evil things like murdering even each other if it comes to that, no mind control just circumstances leading to the worst outcomes; like maybe the SS don't kill them just cause Waller has a hate boner or they're brainwashed but because they each cross lines as the world watches them try and save it live thanks to idk Lois and Jimmy maybe? Hell i'd probably mercy kill the Arkham Batman if he was brought to the point of murdering someone for the sake of saving the world in his eyes; least at that point he broke his one rule and in his own words across many canons "if i went down that road, there's no guarantee i'd come back" which is reinforced with Thomas Wayne's Batman and alternate Batman's where he does end up killing.... i think this game could have been a deep deconstruction of what being a hero means and how far heroes are willing to go to save the world when the odds aren't on their side instead the stories two biggest issues are that we meet the justice league well after they've lost from the perspective of characters who don't give a single shit AND the characters we play as are too goofy to fit in with the games serious nature cause idk the writers read the comics or watched the movie (the first one) and thought the SS were all whacky humor with sprinkles of heart... this leads to tone death moments like Batman's death which i feel would have had more impact if it was treated seriously... and Superman's death which Lois really didn't seem that torn up about which is just bizzare like what were they going for emotionally with the character writing cause it reeks of the same edge as "fuck Batman" to me, like the writers hated the JL so they shoehorned them into an SS v Brainiac story (fucking laughable but okay Rocksteady) just so they could depict them all really shallow before murdering them. Like idk Arkham's characters are so well written i thought the rest of the JL would be just as well defined but... nah? This game is a big let down.

    Fun fact: The original Hall of Justice was based off of the Cincinnati Museum, which also used to be a train station, so that part is based in reality at least.
    Doesn't help the rest of the game, but still neat in my opinion.

    OK, minor question isn't anyone going to ask why are we using uh man bats blood as one of the transversal things? I mean a shark with bat wings would be awesome also would make more sense than having king shark just jump all over the place like the incredible Hulk! For crying out loud at least when Jason had magic jumpy powers it made some strange sense wish that was part of his gameplay answer you we've been kind of cool to see if Jason played more into the whole magic aspect?

    To be fair, Red Hood as far as we know has been killing Gotham’s villains such as Black Mask. Robin is still around as well which Penguin could handle but after Sionis got thrown through a window, I wouldn’t blame Penguin for leaving and going to a city where the heroes wouldn’t murder you

    At First I was skeptical that the Justice League would be killed by the Suicide Squad but I thought WB mislead us and that they would Unbrainwashed later, but then when they Announced that this will be connected to the Arkham Series I was one of the few people who saw the Red Flags, then Kevin Conroy passed away and this would have been one of the Last Roles(with Crisis Part 3 seemingly being his Final Role), and don’t get me started on the multiple Delays for 3 Goddamn Years, the Shooting Mechanic, and the Live Server B$, I knew that this would be not just a Bad Game, but a Insult to DC and Arkham Fans that would have loved to see Rocksteady make either a Superman, Batman Beyond, or Justice League Game but now it’s clear that the Original People behind the Arkham Games have left and are given the Keys to New People that don’t understand what they’re doing that would lead this Once Great Company into Bankruptcy in the Most Distasteful and Distasteful Way Possible, Nobody in their Right Minds would want a Game that you killed off Some of your Favorite Heroes in Cold Blood, the Live Server Shooter Angle is a Terrible Game for a DC Game, the Only Good Character is King Shark, I like Deadshot but his Anger with Green Lantern is Dumb as Hell, this is the Wrost Harley Quinn played by Tara Strong I didn’t like, Captain Boomerang is the Worst Character in the Game, Lex is more Enjoyable than Waller, the Child Negret is pathetic, Ivy was a Weird Addition to ripoff the Guardians of the Galaxy More, the Graphics are a Major Downgrade to the Arkham Games especially when Knight was pure Perfection even if the Game is Overrated, the Side Characters are Boring, and is just Depressing and Not in a Good or Enjoyable Way when you Play or Watch, all I can Say is that MK1 and Spider-Man 2 are far better than this Abomination that I wish was Cancelled completely, this Game makes me want to play Injustice 2, Multiversus, and MK1 all at Once.

    You know, this game reeks of not enough time, which is weird all things considered. The re-used boss fight at the end, the super repetitive gameplay to get there. The story that has moments that could be cool, if a cohesive narrative had been put together (Like say, getting counters from Lex and Batman) that ended up utterly sucking, though that's more likely executive meddling than time.
    I don't hate Rocksteady for this game. I pity them. Someone made them sit down and create a game that destroyed everything they made. Now THAT is evil.

    The Multiverse is not a bad thing or is a synonym for bad stuff, it is a great concept that franchises like Spider-Verse and Kingdom Hearts proves that it does worl and that it is awesome. Multiverse is not bad, its about how you handdle the theme, and unfortunely for Suicide Squad game they did not utilized correctly. Its the game's own fault and not the Multiverse theme.

    And when the next product rolls around and does the bare minimum, it’ll step over this abysmal low bar. Just showing how spoiled this brand has become and how shallow and cheap it is at the same time.

      IIRC in the green lantern headquarters there's a big lantern battery and inside that battery there's a big yellow bug called Parallax that's the embodiment of fear or something, so the green lantern rings that is powered by willpower is weak to the color yellow because of it cuz it represents fear, which is also why the Sinestro corp who uses fear is yellow, it's more fear then just the color and i believe in most stories the green lanterns learn to ignore the color entirely
