The world was ready for a sequel to the smash-hit Arkham Knight game in 2020, but five years later and Rocksteady is taking us in a new direction, and we are kind of digging the journey so far. That's right, instead of donning the pointy-eared mask of the caped crusader for another gritty afternoon on Gotham, we'll be pulling on some neon hot pants, preparing our bats and boomerangs, and limbering up our King Shark-sized muscles to fight what appears to be an evil iteration of the Justice League, in this tantalisingly unique game. Throughout this footage, Stewart does appear to be brainwashed like Superman and the Flash and working for Brainiac, rather than siding with Wonder Woman and Task Force X.It what must be one of the hardest handbrake turns in all of video games, Rocksteady Studios –the developers behind the much beloved and faithful Batman Arkham games– has defied all expectation with the announcement of their brand new game, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. John Stewart's Green Lantern is the Justice League character who has had the least screen time so far, with brief glimpses showing him using his powers to create a cannon and duplicates of himself. Although she can be seen fighting the Suicide Squad, deflecting Deadshot’s gunfire and using her Lasso of Truth on Captain Boomerang, Wonder Woman has also been spotted fighting Superman and Flash, which means she could potentially be an ally to Task Force X in the end. Wonder Woman, however, doesn't have this brainwashed look.

Trailers have shown Superman and Flash as victims of Brainiac's mind control, with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's Flash trailer showing the speedster with a purple veiny look under his mask, indicating his brainwashing.

So far, players have been introduced to the Arkhamverse's version of Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern through the game's promotional material. As Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's title suggests, the Justice League is going to play a major role in the game.
