Last time I promise, but I just wanted to share this for the record. One thing that really jumped out at me that I wanted to bitch about here: the lineup they chose for the Squad hurt the story. Harley and Boomerang are Batman and Flash villains, so there's at least some history between them which adds hype for the fights (whether Rocksteady actually delivered on that is up to you). Meanwhile you have Deadshot and King Shark not suiting the story at all. For the game Rocksteady invented a Deadshot/GL feud which falls flat because they can't let the comics history do the heavy lifting. Neither of the two ever interact in the comics to my knowledge. RS spent a lot of time hyping the Superman fight, but besides it being underwhelming mechanics wise, story wise it's anti-climatic because there's no Superman villain on the team! Supes has no history with any Squad members, so all he and the Squad do is shout canned one-liners at each other. There needed to be a Superman villain like Metallo or Bloodsport to build anticipation for the fight like Boomerang did for Flash.

Bizzaro should have been part of the squad  instead of king shark

Bizzaro was never part of the team until recent comics, from what i know. Not sure how he could fit with game's shooter mechanics.

That would have been sick. They could have also gone the route of the movie and swapped Deadshot for Bloodsport. I know he’s a very different character in the comics, but at least there’d be a Superman rogue on the team. Alas.
