* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The trailer begins with them at their most comfortable -- relaxing, drinking, eating pizza and teasing each other [[WhileRomeBurns as the city they're supposed to be saving falls apart before their eyes]]; when Waller orders them to get to work or be executed, they act genuinely disappointed and resigned to it, like retail employees who hate their jobs but need the money. (Not that they don't enjoy the ''nature'' of their work, [[BloodKnight of course]].)

''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 ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'', it will be released in 2022 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation5, UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesX and PC.

Set in the same universe as the ''Arkham Series'', ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, ComicBook/{{Deadshot}}, Captain Boomerang and King Shark, members of "Task Force X" are ordered by unit leader Amanda Waller to head into the city of Metropolis to assassinate the Man of Steel, ComicBook/{{Superman}}, himself.

Like the ''Arkham Series'', combat will play to the strengths of each member of the Suicide Squad, mixed with elements of gun-play. Unlike the ''Arkham'' games, ''Kill the Justice League'' will allow players to tackle the story by themselves or upwards to three other players via CoOpMultiplayer.
