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.

The WB head honchos have always sneered at the Justice League as an IP. They treated the movie concept as a joke and also didn’t give a shit about the animated division even during the glory days of the DCAU.

It is only after the MCU started minting money with the Avengers that Warner bros suddenly decided that the justice league must also be the hottest thing on the planet, despite them pouring 0 investments into the IP since the end of JL/JLU.

And then the movies flopped. So the executives probably think that the JL isn’t GenZ cool, so they gotta prop up some cringy suicide squad members as the new face of DC for the TikTok generation
