Summary
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguebrings together four of the most famous members of the supervillain team to take onBrainiac and his Justice Leaguein this open-world action-adventure game. Players get to take control of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang as they roam around Metropolis and try to survive a series of boss fights against the superheroes that make up DC Comics’flagship team inSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.
A big video game launch like this is normally expected to receive some DLC in the future to expand this world and give players some new experiences in this version of the DC Universe. This DLC could include some new locations to explore or some new characters to play as. Fortunately, the Suicide Squad is a team that has plenty of members that the developers could include as playable characters in future DLC.
5Polka-Dot Man
A Weird Villain Who Can Shoot Inter-Dimensional Polka-Dots
The idea of a character who can throw polka dots at people in an effort to commit crimes seems like a very silly idea that is supposed to only exist in a comic book from the 1960s. However, filmmaker James Gunn managed to find a way to make Polka-Dot Man a serious character inThe Suicide Squadmovie in 2021. In his first comic book appearance, Polka-Dot Man faces off against Batman when an inter-dimensional virus gives him the ability to grow and throw explosive polka dots at people. In the movies, this origin was changed to make him a man who was experimented on by his mother in an attempt to make him a famous superhero.
This new origin makes the Polka Dot Man a much more sympathetic villain, and he is now seen as more than just a silly throwaway character from the 60s. As such, now would be a great time to give this villain more of a spotlight in a game likeSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. Traversing the open world may not be a highlight for this villain, but his in-built explosives give him a combat style that already works within the game engine.
4El Diablo
A Magic Fire User With Two Forms
El Diablo was one of the highlights of themuch-malignedSuicide Squadmoviefrom 2016. Originally a dark villain who is supposed to fight against lawmen in the Wild West, this character was re-imagined as a remorseful gang member who hates his fire-based powers as they were responsible for the death of his wife and child. After embracing these powers once again, El Diablo joins forces with the magical fire god, who gave him his powers, to become a towering monster who eventually defeats the main threat at the end of the movie.
This duality in power sets makes El Diablo a fascinating choice for a new playable character for future DLC. His regular fire powers could allow him to take on waves of enemies at once, and his ability to change into a giant fire god could be a unique power-up for boss fights.
3Cheetah
One Of Wonder Woman’s Most Famous Adversaries
The super-agile Cheetah has had many identities throughout the years. The first woman to take on the mantle was Priscilla Rich, but most audiences are more familiar with the Barbara Ann Minerva version that was seen in the DCEUmovie,Wonder Woman 1984. It doesn’t matter which version of Cheetah fans come across, she is alwaysan enemy of Wonder Woman.This human-cheetah hybrid is a speedy melee fighter, who could be fun to use to traverse an open-world city with her lightning-fast reflexes and ability to climb walls with her claws.
The main premise behindSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguewas giving players the chance to take on each member of the Justice League in a boss fight. However, Wonder Woman avoids being corrupted by Brainiac’s mind control, which means she has a much smaller role in the game. Perhaps a Wonder Woman boss fight has been saved for the DLC, and fans will get to take her on as Cheetah.
2Killer Croc
A Sewer-Dwelling Mutated Villain
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguetakes place within the same continuity as theBatman: Arkhamseries. As such, all the characters seen inthose Batman gamesare canon in this version of the DC Universe. One of the most fondly remembered characters from those games is the hulking crocodile monster, Killer Croc. This character was the focus of two boss fights in the series and is still alive in Arkham Asylum in that universe.
Therefore, it would be great to see this behemoth once more in some future DLC. Killer Croc has a history with the Suicide Squad in the comics, and this giant brute could provide players with some unique combat encounters.
1Killer Frost
A Villain With The Power To Control Ice
The frosty villain, Killer Frost, was a relatively unknown member of The Suicide Squad. However, her reputation has grown since she made appearances inInjustice: God Among Usvideo game, andThe FlashTV show. Now, Killer Frost is one of the most recognizable villains in DC’s pantheon, beating out the likes of Mr Freeze and Captain Cold. She also has been a prominent member of the team of villains in the comic books.
All this makes Killer Frost an ideal character to include in an upcoming DLC pack forSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. She may not be known forusing a ton of weaponslike the other members of the team, but her ability to glide across paths of ice could make traversing an open-world city more fun than it already is.
