History VideoGame / SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague

* GoryDisgretionShot: The infamous scene that depicts [[spoiler: the Brainiac controlled Batman being executed]] spares the viewer from witnessing the bullet impact, by keeping the camera on [[spoiler: Harley]] as she pulls the trigger before cutting back to him already laying on the floor.

* WriterOnBoard: Harley's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Batman near the end of the game about how he beats and mentally abuses the criminals he fights is particularly jarring since it's completely out of character for the Arkham-verse versions of Batman and Harley. However, it does make more sense from the viewpoint of the writer of that speech having particular criticisms against the idea of Batman in general that they wanted to air, especially since Harley espoused meta knowledge of Batman that she should not have known.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Despite prior Arkham games doing there best to avoid this trope, here the problem of superheroes not helping gets a lot more hard to avoid. Despite the battle with Brainiac taking weeks by the time the story begins, only Wonder Woman and the Flash are seen fighting the brainwashed League, and the Flash is quickly taken out. Other than some evidence Waller sent previous Squads in, there is no sign of any other teams or heroes interfering despite plenty of Easter Eggs showing there are superheroes who live and operate from Metropolis.

* ObviouslyEvil: Discussed in the ApocalypticLog regarding how the Justice League got mind controlled -- The Flash and Wonder Woman are highly suspicious of Brainaic due to him having appeared in a giant cobra skull ship, while Superman and Green Lantern are on the side of "we can't assume someone's evil just because they have spooky decor". Of course, by the conceit of the game, it's clear who turned out to be right.
* OfCorpseHesAlive: In the Game Awards 2022 trailer, just as Boomerang is about to give Flash one hell of a beating privately, he accidentally severs Flash's left thumb with an offhand boomerang swipe. Boomerang quickly makes Flash stand up against a wall as the rest of the Squad arrives, so he can claim the two were just chatting (though the Squad's attention is diverted elsewhere afterward). It's a slight variation here, as Flash isn't even unconscious at first, and can be heard groaning in pain when pushed up against the wall.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: {{Subverted}}. [[spoiler: Braniac does not appear for most of the game, with Batman seemingly running his army in his stead, but the moment the controlled Justice League are gone, he immediately appears and make the Suicide Squad their replacements. They are rescued, and Brainiac becomes a very active force when they storm his ship.]]

** Regular gear comes in Common, [[green:Uncommon]], [[blue:Rare]], [[purple:Epic]], and [[gold:Legendary]], with higher rarities having better stats and more passive traits.
** Above Legendary are [[pink:Notorious]] and [[red:Infamous]]. Their power and traits are equivalent to Legendary gear, but these tiers of equipment have an additional unique passive based on a specific DC hero or villain. Notorious gear merely needs to be equipped to gain their special benefit, but Infamous gear requires equipping multiple items to complete a SetBonus for maximum effectiveness.

* JokerImmunity: Zig-zagged. [[spoiler: Lex Luthor, who the trope would likely be named after if the Joker didn't exist (and ironically avert this trope in this universe), is quickly killed after the Squad encounters him... but the Squad quickly encounters another Luthor from a different universe who does everything he'd do anyway and survives the campaign.]]

* WhamLine: Not so much the line itself, but who's saying it in the Batman reveal trailer; the late Creator/KevinConroy, in his final performance as the Dark Knight.

''Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League'' is a video game based on the ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'' of Creator/DCComics. Developed by Rocksteady, the creators of the ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'', it was released on February 2nd, 2024 for the Platform/PlayStation5, Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS, and Platform/MicrosoftWindows.

!!Warning: {{Late Arrival Spoiler}}s for all preceding installments in the Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries are unmarked on this page.

* TheMultiverse: [[spoiler: There's revealed to be other Earths on which other Brainiacs are attempting a similar takeover to the one fought in the game, taking place on the Earth titled Earth-1. With this is mind, it can be inferred that, rather than this game being a direct sequel to the ''Arkham'' series, it's instead one of many possible continuations, or even the other way around - [[FanonDiscontinuity potentially making the events of the game a little easier to swallow.]]]]

** To elaborate on [[spoiler:Earth-1 Lex's]] death, The Flash literally tears his out heart. Even though Flash could easily do the same to all the squad, he chooses to run in circles (presumably to make some lightning or a speed force tornado) until Wonder Woman stops him. He later says that he could have also grabbed them and run at so high of speeds that the flesh would be ripped from their bones. For how long it takes the squad to get the anti-speed force tech, Flash had so many opportunities to do either and he just doesn't.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed. [[VillainProtagonist The Squad are no saints]], but Captain Boomerang is markedly worse than the rest, having less [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]] than the others on even a basic level.
