addedLook, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League doesn't look great . The foundations of the game don't look great, and to make matters worse, it has a whole heap of live service elements that it just doesn't need. Previous comments from Warner Bros Zaslav about adding live service elements to its biggest franchises certainly build a picture that suggests some execs came to Rocksteady telling them to make a live-service Suicide Squad game instead of a rumoured Superman game . But that just wasn't the case, and a new report from Bloomberg clarifies just why everyone was so sure the Batman Arkham series developer was making a Superman game.
fixedThe initial rumour came from Twitter user James Sigfield back in 2020, but speaking to Bloomberg in its report, he noted that he'd even admitted at the time he had been mistaken. "I corrected it in a later tweet, but it never caught on," Sigfield said. "The person that gave me the info got the studios mixed up." The mixup does make some amount of sense, Suicide Squad is set on Superman's own Metropolis, and he does feature in the game, just as an enemy.
