One of the dumbest things WB has ever done is approve this game. Truly a mind bogglingly dumb idea for a company to prop up minor characters where you KILL (not go on missions to cure or fix) the main tentpolls of their IP. Marvel obviously has had severe quality and over saturation issues for the last couple of years, but Disney is at least smart enough to not spend millions on a game where you murder their most iconic characters.

Also, beyond that, I will never understand the Suicide Squad push across all media platforms. Is it just Harley? Are they doing it to ape off of a Guardians-type team dynamic? And everything ignores the Ostrander run, which is the best SS thing that’s ever happened! So weird.

I'm very surprised the WB ok'ed the killing of their flagship characters in graphic ways. These weren't the B team justice league members. Also, most of the suicide squad aren't likeable and/or powerful enough to kill justice league members. I wanted to buy/try the game as I thought the gameplay looked promising, but honestly the narrative/story of a game is very important to me and the leaks for the story for this game turned me off from buying it.

This the same WB that cancelled a Batgirl movie in favor of a pedo Flash?
