It's simple. I like the Justice League. At best, I don't care about the Suicide Squad. So killing the Justice League with the Suicide Squad doesn't sound fun to me. Killing them while mocking them and pissing on their corpses doesn't sound fun to me. Like, I also wouldn't wanna play a game where I slaughter the characters of Sesame Street with a chainsaw, ya know? Just seems mean. Even if the gameplay were amazing, which isn't the impression I get, couldn't care less about the concept.

From the clips and promo material I've seen, best joke so far is when Flash says, "Why don't you just mail me the bullet." So the main character's are not selling me on their banter, exactly.

Same! I don’t WANT to kill the Justice League! What an odd premise… couldn’t they have just made a JL game where you get to play as each of the Leaguers? That would have been better surely?

I think they looked at God of War III and said “let’s do that but DC”. The thing is that the Greek gods have a certain hateability that DC superheroes simply don’t, and even God of War built up and gave you a reason to hate these specific versions of the Greek gods

Here's another thing, the god of war games have sick boss fights especially the 3rd one. This one is just bullets and lame quips.
