Wonder Woman being mourned and Batman (the one we've been following since Arkham Asylum) gets humiliated and turned into a joke says a lot about these writers
@@illseeyaonthedarksideofthemoon the white blonde royal? You sure? Well, maybe they would've made him Jason Mamoa and give him a pass because the HR ladies in charge have the hots for him.
Harley and Deadshot hate him though, and Boomerang doesn't really care. What were you expecting? A funeral run by 3 people who wanted him dead for over a decade at this point?
By technicality Superman is a meta human, plus even a dc encyclopedia qualifies him as a meta human, hmmm it’s almost like the worked with the knowledge that they had in 2019 to call Superman a meta human.
33:53 the positive thing i will say about Invincible is that omniman isn't superman, Mark is. It's moreso a world where superman was raised by someone like Zod and Mark rejects the evil being taught to him. But yeah there are way too many evil Superman stories.
Omniman is like Raditz from Dragonball Z if he came to earth instead of Goku. This technically makes Immortal mix of Roshi and Krillin (being the strongest human who is both older then he looks and comes back from death) and Cecil is basically if Bruce Wayne had Amanda Waller's job.
I like how the "real" Deadshot isn't as good of a shot or as professional as the "fake" Deadshot, the "fake one never misses and even makes up challenges to make his marks harder to hit becuse its fun and he's polite, meanwhile the "real" Deadshot can miss and is as rude as can be. Also the "fake" one is a better father. They should have used Bloodsport instead, not only does he have a fake and real thing too (the first one is a black man and the second is a white supremacis) but his abilities and gimmicks would fit the gameplay better. He's a good shot, he's a walking armory that went toe to toe with Sumperman, and he's incredibly durable and can dodge bullets to a limited degree.
Wish they put Deathstroke in this game.As an SS member. We got a scene Waller giving him the SS folder at the end credit scenes of Arkham Origins. He even had a whole moveset, weapons, traversal worked out, since he was playable in Origin.
@@themanwithnoname1839 Both him and Green Lantern are the only black men there and they both get harassed in some fashion. (Harley grabbing Deadshot, Jon getting his suit removed)
@@Saltedroastedcaramel No, no, no: That was not harassment, that was funny. Because it happened to a man and not a woman. Seriously i don't think the writers had any idea how this would look, just like the whole Poison Ivy is a kid now-thing. Thats why i laughed so hard when DonGio showed the self-description of this weird company that helped writing this trash. They want to create better stories that anyone can enjoy. Mission fucking accomplished ... Are they maybe also responsible for Wonder Woman 1984 aka Wonder-Rapist? It would fit in ...
Can’t Superman and Batman just be wickedly smart in their own ways? I mean, Batman is Batman. World’s Greatest Detective for a reason. Clark is a seasoned journalist, and you don’t last as an actual journalist by being stupid and unwise
The fact that they had Superman call himself a "meta-human" when he's literally a different species was where I threw in the towel. Meta-humans are altered humans lol not aliens.
@@omegaderose4342 it doesnt back up the cloning thing at all because brainiac altered their DNA not cloned them as lex stated and Harley would've known it wasn't the real batman
@@Hollowmello1285 also lego games do a better job heck lego dc super villains (which i buyed instead of this and i am proud of myself) actually has evil justice league and playing as villains and give respect to all characters
There could have been some glimmer of goodness in the game had the Squad treated EVERY hero with the respect they gave WW. Instead, they make Boomerang literally piss on Flash's corpse.
Imagine how the game would have been better if instead of killing the justice league, they instead help break the justice leagues brain washing program, then help save the world by teaming up with Justice league to defeat Brainiac……never mind, that idea blows balls, this whole game sucks, there’s no fixing it.
@@user-BadUsername Well it is tough writing a character that is supposed to be highly intelligent when the writers can barely rub 2 brain cells together between them all.
Superman: Ok guys lets all walk straight into the giant skull ship without any plans or evacuate the city before hand. Its not like GL corps have a wikipedia of known galactic threats or flash whos faster then time can do quick scouting trip to check. Im sure the aliens flying in a giant Skull Ship is totally peaceful and it wrong for us to assume otherwise
What pains me the most if the fact that in most stories, Superman and Braniac fates are intertwined. Superman having no recollection of who Braniac is wasn’t a good move. Rocksteady did his character a disservice.
Major plot armour for the squad for me was why didn't brainiac just freeze the squad and kill/mind control them? Edit: also the big f**king laser brainiac has on his ship he could've used
Also harley seeing Wonder Woman did apparently “changed her” but then she goes and kills Batman in cold blood and laughs at him even though he was way nicer to her than fucking Wonder Woman
Origins is a great game. Even if it wasn't made by the same team who made the trilogy, it was a game that contributed to the Arkhamverse and is canon by all rights. Even the OG team wouldn't deny its canon.
Or be a fleeing thought how the hell was this even greenlighted i need to know how HOW INSTEAD OF A SUPERMAN GAME WE GOT THIS PIECE OF TRASH!!!!!???!???!?
If I had done this, King Shark would been replaced with Bizarro, and Deadshot with Deathstroke. So we could have someone relatively on the same level as Superman, and someone DEFINITELY on the same level as Batman.
Actually Deatstroke is a same-sih level as Batman. They went against each other mutiple times in cmics, and they both win, and lost matches against each other.
I think they really just needed to swap Batman for WW and keep Flash around. Flash saving the Squad from things that should kill them (all of the Superman fight) and Batman nerfing the League before each battle would remove the Squads plot armor and make everyone happy. You could also have more interesting interactions between the squad and the remaining league members (Deadshot and Harley for Batman, King Shark and Boomerang for Flash). There could be conflict from Bruce and Barry not wanting to kill their friends and the squad just trying to do their job. They really fumbled the whole game because they used WW instead of the man that we have been following for like 15 years now, it's really sad to see.
I like how out of 4 characters, only one is not a giant annoyance. King Shark is somewhat endearing with how he is well spoken and seems like a genuinely good dude. The others are just ANNOYING AS ALL HELL
The fact that King Shark was so endearing makes it less believable that he's some sort of supervillain worthy of getting a bomb put in his head. Deadshot is a paid assassin. We already know Harley's actions from the Arkham game series, and Boomerang is established in the game to have a beef with the Flash, but King Shark isn't shown to do villainous things, we're just supposed to assume he's really bad. This game has a problem with characterization beyond surface level personality.
Honestly i've never heard about them before, but after reading their self-description and now knowing about their involvement in this game it explains some things ... Not sure if i want to know what other crimes they have committed.
See like the gameplay was alright at first but my god it gets so repetitive and boring and the boss fights are absolutely hideous. Can't believe what they did to Brainiac
They could've got rid of the squad, and then made a JL game where your goal is to break the brainwash playing each of the league members in a solo based game like come on. Or if they needed it to be co-op make a different league game, there is no point in this lazy money hungry game lol
@@TheDonGio you'd think, but this is WB and Sweet Baby Inc. they think retconning and character assassination is key to make bucks and idk ig for people who know nothing about DC or the previous games bye into
@@user-BadUsername Facts, I mean I'm for reputation and all of that but the superhero world isn't a good fit for that sense their identities are based on who they are as people and doing what's right or wrong, not random adventures and who they sleep with, those are character traits, not symbols imo and what my take is on it. Plus retconning isn't reputation it's forcing a narrative, just use peak underrated characters or make newly written ones, not ripe others to shreds yk?
The game was just a pure headache... Braniac quite literally had every other way to just eliminate them. Crap it, scratch that...everyone on the JLeague had obviously the power to just one-shot or one-trip everyone within the SQuad ☠️☠️☠️ Sadly. The game was WASTED :/
@@slideways_sideways1803that's not the point. They clearly used it as a excuse for the seasonal updates. Which is stretching this pos game out longer than it should be.
3:30 you know now that you talk about it. I’m actually imagining it. The game start with you playing as Clark who just heard about Bruce’s unmasking and death which led him to making a beeline to the manor, only to see it in ash. Clark is devastated by what he saw with his own eyes for a days on end. But in one of the days, up in the sky he heard the sounds of a plane engine exploding. Serval lives are on the line not just above, but below too if they hit metropolis. Knowing while Bruce’s death may be tragic, he can’t skip out on being Superman. He takes to the sky to find the descending plane. But as he was trying to get a good grip of the plane, he saw something unbelievable running to check the controls to see if they can crash this safely. The Caped Crusader himself. Batman. This is just the summary of the idea. But as it goes they could have Superman taking care of Metropolis during the day. Taking care of accidents, saving civilians, dealing with the rare asteroid mid way through etc. typical Superman doing the best thing he can do. Save people. But when Night falls, you switch to Batman who’s been secretly investigating around the city. Apparently that plane with the blown up engine wasn’t an accident. It was on purpose. Before Clark got there. Bruce found the hanger was packed full of crates filled with strange rocks of diffrent colors near traces of a rock he knows well. Kryptonite. And somehow, someway. Someone was able to transform normal green kryptonite into different kinds of kryptonite. So as it went on, supes would be trying his best to save everyone that are being used as bait to lure him out to kryptonite infested “accident” zones. While Bat’s job is to make it so they can barely smuggle a basic pebble of green kryptonite. Nevermind the crazy ones like gold. In the end. Bruce realize that dead or not. This world needs him. So he joins the Justice league! Not as Batman. But Owl man.
I don't know about the whole owlman part, but the rest sounds like an amazing game! During the day you're playing a power fantasy, while during the night you play an updated version of the arkham games. And the fact that what you do during the day and night can affect the world around you is perfect
I would have lex be the main antagonist and be the one making the kryptonite but the only problem is handing batman, a new design, name, weapons etc. idk how you'd use the fear toxin
@@terrorbillywilly7918 True I wasn’t fully sure in the owl man part either. But I couldn’t think of anything better and he can’t be Batman as everyone will know who he is and making knight’s ending irrelevant so… owl man.
@@Yourfat247 True. It would be predictable but it’d make sense. As for the fear toxin? Maybe it could act as a new freeze bomb like gadget or something which makes thugs see everyone as Batman. Making them either start running into a wall head first, or straight up boxing their friends.
Superman from the animated series knew better than to trust Braniac completely even before finding out he committed multiple genocides on other worlds.
I hate bad comedy. Bad drama, bad horror, they can be unintentionally funny. But bad comedy just makes me want to die. Suicide Squad put me in suicide watch
"Why are we going with this current MCU type of humor?" You answered your own question. It's current. Specifically, the entire point of the Suicide Squad's recent popularity was a response to the runaway success of the _Guardians of the Galaxy_ movies specifically: no-name morally-ambiguous "heroes" saving the day? But Peter Quill has charm and charisma. Guy wooed the daughter of Thanos, in part by convincing her that David Hasselhoff was a legendary warrior of Earth. How do you _not_ want to follow somebody with that kind of self-confidence and determination? But Harley Quinn's most consistent characterization is being a thirst trap, a characterization I always found a bit off. Isn't it a bit tasteless to make Harley Quinn's entire character revolve around how much she enjoys chewing moss when the entire conceit behind her character was an abuse victim? Can Harley Quinn for once not have a character revolve around who she's doing? And then you have Rocket and Groot, the sub-team within the Guardians, who tie to Deadshot in only the most superficial way: the gun ones. That's it. It's so transparent that Rocksteady didn't care about Deadshot that they literally forgot what race the character used to be. To say nothing of the complete absence of a Groot analog. No worries. Not like Groot became super-iconic overnight or anything. I'm sure it's fine. Then there's Drax, which really shows the hollowness of the homework copying at play here. Every single joke I've seen out of King Shark rips off Drax's schtick. No modification. No additions. No unique twist. What they missed was that Drax was complex. Considering Drax's backstory, he's literally his own comic relief. Drax's sense of humor is what stops him from being an edgelord because at least _some_ part of James Gunn knew that people were tired of _daaaaaaark_ and _eeeeeeedge_ and would rather his version of Drax would be more fun. Now, Dave Bautista is more well-known for his feud with Thanos than his feud with Triple H. Marvel and DC have a long, storied tradition of ripping each other off over the decades. DC had Batman? Well, Batman doesn't really have to deal with a lot of more realistic everyday problems. ...Spider-Man! Come to think of it, Batman also doesn't kill, so what if there were a Batman who _did_ kill because he served in the Marine Corps? Punisher! Hulk begat Doomsday. Superman begat Captain America. Green Arrow begat Hawkeye. The League of Shadows begat the Hand. Nick Fury and SHIELD begat Amanda Waller and Cadmus. Hydra begat Cobra. Doctor Fate begat Doctor Strange. Static begat Miles Morales. Iron Man begat Lex Luthor's penchant for super-armor. Deathstroke begat Deadpool. Darkseid begat Thanos, and I could go on. (Or vice versa on any of the above; the point still stands.) The problem is that every single instance of the above rip-offs changed the formula around, often substantially. It's hard to argue that Terry McGinnis has _no_ Peter Parker DNA in him (unlike Bruce... too soon?), but you could _never_ mistake him for a Marvel character because he approaches his problems in a distinctly DC way. For another famous example or two, Deadpool was a parody of the uptight super-serious boring assassin Deathstroke, while Lobo was returning the favor as a parody of the guns-and-pouches-are-cool on the Marvel side that was starting to get annoyingly cliché. So Cable doubled-down on futuristic badassery and iron will in the 90's X-Men cartoon, while Deathstroke's image was famously rehabbed in the _Teen Titans_ cartoon that reminded people what an ice-cold MFer he was. By copying each others' notes and having the self-awareness to recognize that what they were doing wasn't working, everybody won. But in this game, there _is_ no reinvention. There is no "winning." Only copying, like a parasite. (Ironic, given what Brainiac is doing in plot.) The Suicide Squad in this game adds nothing to the formula but the kind of toxic irreverence that people are getting _reeeeaaally_ sick of these days, whether they're willing to admit to it publicly or not. Even people who are ambivalent to or even _approving_ of "wokeness" are noticing the problems with the writing always falling back on the same suite of obnoxious and predictable tropes again and again without fail, while the canaries in the coal mines are running victory laps upon victory laps about how they saw this all coming a decade ago and tried to warn you. Nobody wants this. This is some of the most nuclear backlash I've seen since Captain Hydra, and it's about time. I hope the fallout is felt in the writer's room.
I remember thinking about how the Arkhamverse Superman was like. He was practically treated like a legend in the games, especially Arkham Knight. Now we’re here, and instead of being able to play him, we kill him in the lamest possible. Fuck this game. This game was made while the previous high ups were around, so I can only hope with the new leadership and the Wonder Woman possibly succeeding we can finally get that Superman game we’ve been craving (along with the other league members). Though after this, I would not want Rocksteady to do it this time. Not with the garbage writers they have there now.
16:10 it's a government agency, they need to get in as many people as possible and also making sure they stay so virtue signalling is 100% something they do.
Special thanks for pointing out how tired and overdone evil superman is done. Thankfully the snyder evil superman crap plans were cancelled if this is the kind of evil Superman we had in stores had that continued.
So not only can the Suicide Squad kill the Justice League, but the Justice League couldn't deal with "one" Brainiac, and the SS gonna defeat a double-digit amount of Brainiacs, shooting guns? C'mon man lol
It may sound petty, but given how games like to add the pride nto their games, some of them with aid by Sweet Baby inc., it's a red flag for a bad story or something else. Just pointing it out.
@@Saltedroastedcaramel Not petty at all. I'm a bisexual man, and I also take pride flags in AAA games as a massive red flag, because it's almost always for cheap pandering points.
I’m realizing that’s most of these people. Ever since the MCU started everyone called themselves a comicbook fan and don’t know shit. They watch a few movies or tv shows and try to act like an expert when there is literally almost 100 years of comics that explore several different stories. They may read 1-2 famous storylines and now all of a sudden they go around acting like elites or gatekeepers but don’t have a clue what they are talking about. It’s so sickening and it discribes you perfectly, you have no idea about the DC verse but think you know everythign about the suicide Squad
Maybe the reason that all the cosmetic stuff is expensive could have something to do with the fact that it’s the only way they’re going to make money off the game after sales from the game itself die down. You know, considering that everything else they’re adding to the game post lunch is free.
Honestly with the Arkham DNA if they had any kind of balls they could’ve done a similar narrative but let us play as Deathstroke. There’s definitely a narrative where Amanda Waller tasks Slade to neutralize NOT KILL - the league. Not only is Deathstroke a CRIMINALLY underused character, but he can actually feasibly at least neutralize every member of the league. If they keep the whole “steal Batman’s plans” part of the story - I can buy a narrative where Slade uses Batman’s plans against the league to take them out. The gameplay would be like Arkham - maybe with a few changes to account for superpowered boss fights, but mostly the mission structure could be maintained - breaking into the government facilities - the bat cave (maybe even include a mini boss fight with Nightwing) the fortress of solitude and the Hall of Justice to steal technology and resources to carry out Batman’s contingencies.
I think maybe if it wasn't a full price £70 game it wouldn't have been so bad because if it was like £30 or £35 I'd be willing to at least give it a try
Green lantern, Batman,and Superman were the worst. Yellow ring doesn’t just work by shooting lanterns constructs, Batman the man who overcame the strongest version of fear toxin knowing he’s at a mental peak. Was beaten by four average minded villians.( they should have went insane) not to mention he’s literally one tapped Harley and deadshot with his fist every appearance. Superman, strangest bc somehow they got gold kryptonite when the only time it was ever seen in game was in injustice 2 and had to be made by firestorm. But what do you expect from female writers, not to mention they made both Harley and Wonder Woman severely unattractive.
Before I say this I just want to say that I’m not defending the game but I don’t think that they were using the rings just the battery which is still lame
36:53 "She doesn't want to see you anymore. She doesn't want to see you anymore. She doesn't want to see you anymore." Deathstroke sending a drone to send an bitterly blunt message to beastboy.
I mean...King Shark is not a meta-human either. He's not even a human. So none of the Suicide Squad members have any actual powers outside of sci-fi gadgets and some good aim with their guns.
You know I laughed when I heard Kiss from a Rose watching all of my Favorite DC Heroes Die just because it’s a Laugh of Truthful Pain, At First I was skeptical that the Justice League would be killed by the Suicide Squad but I thought WB mislead us and that they would Unbrainwashed later, but then when they Announced that this will be connected to the Arkham Series I was one of the few people who saw the Red Flags, then Kevin Conroy passed away and this would have been one of the Last Roles(with Crisis Part 3 seemingly being his Final Role), and don’t get me started on the multiple Delays for 3 Goddamn Years, the Shooting Mechanic, and the Live Server B$, I knew that this would be not just a Bad Game, but a Insult to DC and Arkham Fans that would have loved to see Rocksteady make either a Superman, Batman Beyond, or Justice League Game but now it’s clear that the Original People behind the Arkham Games have left and are given the Keys to New People that don’t understand what they’re doing that would lead this Once Great Company into Bankruptcy in the Most Distasteful and Distasteful Way Possible, Nobody in their Right Minds would want a Game that you killed off Some of your Favorite Heroes in Cold Blood, the Live Server Shooter Angle is a Terrible Game for a DC Game, the Only Good Character is King Shark, I like Deadshot but his Anger with Green Lantern is Dumb as Hell, this is the Wrost Harley Quinn played by Tara Strong I didn’t like, Captain Boomerang is the Worst Character in the Game, Lex is more Enjoyable than Waller, the Child Negret is pathetic, Ivy was a Weird Addition to ripoff the Guardians of the Galaxy More, the Graphics are a Major Downgrade to the Arkham Games especially when Knight was pure Perfection even if the Game is Overrated, the Side Characters are Boring, and is just Depressing and Not in a Good or Enjoyable Way when you Play or Watch, all I can Say is that MK1 and Spider-Man 2 are far better than this Abomination that I wish was Cancelled completely, this Game makes me want to play Injustice 2, Multiversus, and MK1 all at Once.
I agree but Harley is the worst character in the game, knight is not overrated at all its only over hated, Ivy was such a BS addition since she died in knight and MK 1 and SM 2 are amazing games
When you called knightmare batman an old school boss, you were spot on. They ripped off the Scarecrow Boss fight from Arkham Asylum (2009) 💀💀💀 And even then, Scarecrow was less cringe.
So if the knightfall protocol in Arkham knight was designed to kill Wayne/Batman so that his loved ones would not be targeted, how under any circumstances could he come out of hiding to join the Justice league even if he was invited? How is the league going to protect Batman's loved ones 24/7 from his Rogue Gallery who would definitely be gunning for them in this scenario? Its just dumb.
The audio clip where the League discuss whether or not to open up negotiations with Brainiac was far more interesting than the rest of the game. Seriously.
that opening song was so fitting for me personally. i remember when that song was in the batman film when i was younger. i believe it was batman returns. i was a huge batman fan, so much so i convinced my mom to have that be the song her and my stepdad danced together to at their wedding. just a reminder, these heroes are more than just characters to some of us. they have been integral parts to our lives and inspirations to aspire to.
If this was a stand alone game it probably wouldn’t have gotten so much hate. But when they made it take place in the Arkham series was the moment Sweet Baby and Rocksteady fucked up.
Player counts on steam are consistently decreasing which says a lot. They appear to be lower today than they were before the Joker season. If the trend continues then there will literally be like a hundred or less players within weeks. This has to be one of the biggest flops in live service history.
Brainiac literally arrives in a giant hentai skull ship and no member of the league (except for Batman, even though for no reason Batman decides to follow the rest of league into the giant hentai skull ship, something which Batman would never do, he’s way too suspicious of people to do that) thinks that’s a little weird, his skull ship literally looks like the most supervillain ship you could imagine and I would expect for a seasoned justice league he would just look like another villain of the week
I hope you find more enjoyment in the game maybe if you have full squad of friends it's probably more tolerable, I might enjoy it more when I play as the characters I like but unfortunately it's a long wait for Deathstroke. I appreciate the kind words though mate
Ok, I might be out of my mind, because I mostly ignored Batman's little radio braodcasts, but was he DIRECTING THE INVASION?!!! Yet one more way the SS is toast, as they are not going to beat an army lead by Batman.
this is why i said multiverse is a character brand destroyer , because if you keep churning character dead or alive doesnt matter , power doesnt matter , action doesnt matter , then whats the point ? , theres no investment because everything can be anything , and anything can be meaningless , all because of multiverse , smh .
This game is literally everything why Sweet Baby Inc games must be avoided at all costs. This is literally the worst superhero story ever written. It makes Madame Web seem semi-comptent.
The title foreshadowing the events of the game does not make the game immune from criticism Kevin Conroy giving consent to the script does not make Batman's death immune from criticism People who defend the death of Arkham Batman completely miss the point of why people are upset in the first place

Why is one of the number one complaints about suicide squad kill the justice league always that people think they should’ve made other games it take place in the Arkham universe instead of suicide squad kill the justice league? It says if the don’t think they could potentially make a game that takes place, before suicide squad, kill the justice league, and yes, you are included in that they. yes, this game is pretty much saying that this crisis is a multi verso crisis, and the justice league is dead and gone in every universe due to brainiac. But people always seem to forget that this game takes place. I think they said five years after Arkham knight, and that, even though the justice league hadn’t yet been formed, potentially some of the other superheroes did exist during the time of the Arkham series timeline. The formation of the justice league happened after Arkham night supposedly soon after, but that means that they could have an entire five years to work with for any justice league game to be set in in between the events of Arkham knight and suicide squad kill the justice league. just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it can’t, and will never happen, and just because it can’t take place after suicide squad, kill the justice league, doesn’t mean that he can’t, and won’t take place before.
Why didn’t boomerang shove a bomb in Walker’s neck after she threw away her only leverage like with ivy. If they blowup might as well take her with them.
Can I just say, why does everybody call Superman Kal-El nowadays? I know it’s his real name but isn’t he supposed to be considered more human than alien? After all that’s why he takes the Kent name and gives his son that last name.
It's not the falg, it's the combination of that and everything else that's bad (and woke, such as Harley Quinn, as a whole, WW's model and general attitude, the REAL Deadshot lmao, etc.) that it makes those things really highlight in hindsight. The controversy about the mod to replace these flags in Spiderman for american flags is still fresh in my mind, too, so ofc I would notice that. So yeah, I'll call it out when I see it. I know their little speeches and reasoning. The well has been consitently poisoned by themselves, and as such, I refuse to give the benefit of the doubt.
31:20 to 32:26 Everything about this is so funny. Because everything about this game can be compared to another product that shares the same universe of this characters in another story. In Injustice 2, the Justice League shows up to the Brainiac's ship to fight him and at the end Batman is the one who ends him. Alongside with Superman who clearly at first hand knew who Brainiac was. Now this version is downright stupid enough to not do the same thing? In Batman Assault on Arkham Batman literally took everyone from the Suicide Squad by himself. Somehow he doesn't here? (Worse, the movie shares the same universe as the arkham games)
I actually rly like that "BECAUSE YOU ARE AUSTRALIAN" joke, I think if that joke was in a much better game, people would've enjoyed it 😂 it's a very "Drax-y" thing to say.
They turned Goated Kevin Conroy's Arkham Bruce Wayne Batman into a joke in a childrens cartoon. Like Is there nothing sacrosanct to these new devs? Like Batmans boss fight in this game is a childrens cartoon villian, i cannot take him seriously he's not even scary. Back to not taking childrens cartoon villians seriously, i can watch watch My Little Pony and take at least one villian there more seriously.
Wonder Woman has a sisterhood with fire, duplicated from Hestia. So, even if heat vision killed her, it would not have done so in that manner. Maybe the ''force'' would have collapsed her sternum or bore a hole through her torso, but unless you're saying Superman's heat surpasses Hesti...no, Wonder Woman doesn't burn up. If Hestia doesn't burn from Helios(sun), Asteria(the rest of the visible stars), Hyperion(even more than that), Apollo(light itself) Superman doesn't cut it. And I really don't get this urge to turn Braniac into a team villain. He's a guy who gets stopped by Superman on his own. He gets shaken by Superman like he tried to make off with Superman's lunch money. Like fifty straight years, that was Brianiac. He was a team member of a Superman fanboy "legion" in the future, and one of the weaker members in combat. He was one of thirteen seats on The Legion Of Doom, which outnumbered The Super Friends and still lost 99% of the time! But yeah, now he's DC Galactus? He can beat Stormwatch by himself? It's over inflating a mid tier villain for no good reason. Surely there was some preexisting Justice Society/Leage/Legion villain better suited for the role. Surely coming up with a new villain wouldn't be that hard. At most Braniac should be a Superman+Superboy/Insect Queen/Supergirl/Hyperman/Power Girl type villain that Superman maybe needs one sidekicks to help takedown when Brainiac manages to sucker punch Superman or something. At least team Braniac up with Lex Luthor or Doomsday if we're supposed to buy him beating Superman AND four other superheroes who don't even share Superman's weaknesses.

33:53 the positive thing i will say about Invincible is that omniman isn't superman, Mark is. It's moreso a world where superman was raised by someone like Zod and Mark rejects the evil being taught to him.
But yeah there are way too many evil Superman stories.
Its its own ip
@@REALTALKMARS he was showing footage of Invincible and The Boys on screen whenever he was talking about it so I brought up my thoughts on Invincible
@@Armorion and i was agreeing with your points and thats why it works
@@REALTALKMARS 4 words written provides little context for intention. I apologize for my assumption.
Omniman is like Raditz from Dragonball Z if he came to earth instead of Goku. This technically makes Immortal mix of Roshi and Krillin (being the strongest human who is both older then he looks and comes back from death) and Cecil is basically if Bruce Wayne had Amanda Waller's job.
I like how the "real" Deadshot isn't as good of a shot or as professional as the "fake" Deadshot, the "fake one never misses and even makes up challenges to make his marks harder to hit becuse its fun and he's polite, meanwhile the "real" Deadshot can miss and is as rude as can be. Also the "fake" one is a better father.
They should have used Bloodsport instead, not only does he have a fake and real thing too (the first one is a black man and the second is a white supremacis) but his abilities and gimmicks would fit the gameplay better. He's a good shot, he's a walking armory that went toe to toe with Sumperman, and he's incredibly durable and can dodge bullets to a limited degree.
Let that sink in they portrayed the black man in this game as a shit father lmfao rofl, cuz that isnt stereotyping what so ever
Wish they put Deathstroke in this game.As an SS member.
We got a scene Waller giving him the SS folder at the end credit scenes of Arkham Origins. He even had a whole moveset, weapons, traversal worked out, since he was playable in Origin.
@@themanwithnoname1839 Both him and Green Lantern are the only black men there and they both get harassed in some fashion. (Harley grabbing Deadshot, Jon getting his suit removed)
@@Saltedroastedcaramel No, no, no: That was not harassment, that was funny. Because it happened to a man and not a woman.
Seriously i don't think the writers had any idea how this would look, just like the whole Poison Ivy is a kid now-thing.

@@themanwithnoname1839 Don’t forget that he has beef with Green Lantern because Jon Stewart is a cop

The fact that they had Superman call himself a "meta-human" when he's literally a different species was where I threw in the towel. Meta-humans are altered humans lol not aliens.
that would only backup the cloning theory since Brainics "secret hobby" is cloning and evven he calls superman a meta in the comics
@@omegaderose4342 it doesnt back up the cloning thing at all because brainiac altered their DNA not cloned them as lex stated and Harley would've known it wasn't the real batman

Yeah i don't care what kind of culture you have on whatever planet a ship that looks like a flying skull isn't about good
Batman's boss fight in this already existed in a Lego game a few years ago seriously
and was done better.
Come to think about both of them were mind controlled but someone the decade old game about bricks was far better
And spoiler IT DIDN'T SUCK ONE MORE DAY THERE AND IT WAS ROBIN WITH POWER SUITS AND ALFRED FIGHTING HIM!!
@@Hollowmello1285 also lego games do a better job heck lego dc super villains (which i buyed instead of this and i am proud of myself) actually has evil justice league and playing as villains and give respect to all characters
There could have been some glimmer of goodness in the game had the Squad treated EVERY hero with the respect they gave WW.
Instead, they make Boomerang literally piss on Flash's corpse.
Woke woman writer☕️
Going to start this off by saying I agree with you, but I have to correct you on something:
He didn't actually piss on the Flash.
Well I'll do it to boomerang's corpse and write on the tomb stone here lies idiot punch me 2022-2022 along with the game
Imagine how the game would have been better if instead of killing the justice league, they instead help break the justice leagues brain washing program, then help save the world by teaming up with Justice league to defeat Brainiac……never mind, that idea blows balls, this whole game sucks, there’s no fixing it.
The game just straight up changes Brainiac. His motivations here are not like any other version I've seen.
Also this is the DUMBEST version of brainiac I have ever seen
@@user-BadUsername Well it is tough writing a character that is supposed to be highly intelligent when the writers can barely rub 2 brain cells together between them all.
This entire concept of Brainiac isnt so bad even, its the execution that completely fell down the hill
Also he's ugly
@@bigdoubleu117you know what they say a character is only as smart as the writer
Superman: Ok guys lets all walk straight into the giant skull ship without any plans or evacuate the city before hand. Its not like GL corps have a wikipedia of known galactic threats or flash whos faster then time can do quick scouting trip to check. Im sure the aliens flying in a giant Skull Ship is totally peaceful and it wrong for us to assume otherwise
What pains me the most if the fact that in most stories, Superman and Braniac fates are intertwined. Superman having no recollection of who Braniac is wasn’t a good move. Rocksteady did his character a disservice.
Batman: "Good lord, I traded Joker for this..."
Major plot armour for the squad for me was why didn't brainiac just freeze the squad and kill/mind control them?
Edit: also the big f**king laser brainiac has on his ship he could've used
The more I think about that the more my head hurts hahaha
And why didn't flash just kill the squad like how he did with luthor?
Not to mention he could’ve just called all his brainwashed league members to attack them all at once
@@Matei-xk5tp because plot

Because of suicide squad, I decided to play the 4 game Arkham series again. Yes I include origins in the trilogy idc what anyone says
Always been a fan of Origins. Its a little short but has some great boss fights and some good story beats for Batman.
Origins is a great game. Even if it wasn't made by the same team who made the trilogy, it was a game that contributed to the Arkhamverse and is canon by all rights. Even the OG team wouldn't deny its canon.
Yeah finally someone agrees
@@lukeluke333lukeluke sorry for the 5 month late response lol but yes I agree, In my opinion origins had the best bane
@@Angelo._ agree 100%. I’m really sad origins will never get remastered. Playing a remastered origins online would be so fun

It doesn't matter who does it it's a crime heck even if you do it to a dog it's a crime even if it's a baby
This game is so pathetic it doesn't deserve to exist.
Or be a fleeing thought how the hell was this even greenlighted i need to know how HOW INSTEAD OF A SUPERMAN GAME WE GOT THIS PIECE OF TRASH!!!!!???!???!?
If I had done this, King Shark would been replaced with Bizarro, and Deadshot with Deathstroke. So we could have someone relatively on the same level as Superman, and someone DEFINITELY on the same level as Batman.
Actually Deatstroke is a same-sih level as Batman. They went against each other mutiple times in cmics, and they both win, and lost matches against each other.
@Pepita2437 bro, he literally just said that 💀
@@terrorbillywilly7918 Yeah.. Realized it too late. XD ;P
I think they really just needed to swap Batman for WW and keep Flash around. Flash saving the Squad from things that should kill them (all of the Superman fight) and Batman nerfing the League before each battle would remove the Squads plot armor and make everyone happy. You could also have more interesting interactions between the squad and the remaining league members (Deadshot and Harley for Batman, King Shark and Boomerang for Flash). There could be conflict from Bruce and Barry not wanting to kill their friends and the squad just trying to do their job. They really fumbled the whole game because they used WW instead of the man that we have been following for like 15 years now, it's really sad to see.
@@SuperDababy2 Agree withh you.
I like how out of 4 characters, only one is not a giant annoyance. King Shark is somewhat endearing with how he is well spoken and seems like a genuinely good dude. The others are just ANNOYING AS ALL HELL
he was literally the only one to talk about respecting the flash too
The fact that King Shark was so endearing makes it less believable that he's some sort of supervillain worthy of getting a bomb put in his head.
Deadshot is a paid assassin. We already know Harley's actions from the Arkham game series, and Boomerang is established in the game to have a beef with the Flash, but King Shark isn't shown to do villainous things, we're just supposed to assume he's really bad. This game has a problem with characterization beyond surface level personality.
The one good thing about this game, is that it brought mass awareness about the massive red flag that Sweet Baby is when tacked onto any product
Honestly i've never heard about them before, but after reading their self-description and now knowing about their involvement in this game it explains some things ...
Not sure if i want to know what other crimes they have committed.

The characters constantly talking really got into my nerves, but I'm glad that I'm done with this game
See like the gameplay was alright at first but my god it gets so repetitive and boring and the boss fights are absolutely hideous. Can't believe what they did to Brainiac
They could've got rid of the squad, and then made a JL game where your goal is to break the brainwash playing each of the league members in a solo based game like come on. Or if they needed it to be co-op make a different league game, there is no point in this lazy money hungry game lol

Plus retconning isn't reputation it's forcing a narrative, just use peak underrated characters or make newly written ones, not ripe others to shreds yk?
The game was just a pure headache...
Braniac quite literally had every other way to just eliminate them.
Crap it, scratch that...everyone on the JLeague had obviously the power to just one-shot or one-trip everyone within the SQuad ☠️☠️☠️
Sadly. The game was WASTED :/
13 Braniacs? Now they're just stretching things out
There’s been more than 13 of him in the comics
@@slideways_sideways1803that's not the point. They clearly used it as a excuse for the seasonal updates. Which is stretching this pos game out longer than it should be.
@@slideways_sideways1803 there's only 1 of him you fight in injustice 2
3:30 you know now that you talk about it. I’m actually imagining it.
The game start with you playing as Clark who just heard about Bruce’s unmasking and death which led him to making a beeline to the manor, only to see it in ash. Clark is devastated by what he saw with his own eyes for a days on end.
But in one of the days, up in the sky he heard the sounds of a plane engine exploding. Serval lives are on the line not just above, but below too if they hit metropolis.
Knowing while Bruce’s death may be tragic, he can’t skip out on being Superman. He takes to the sky to find the descending plane. But as he was trying to get a good grip of the plane, he saw something unbelievable running to check the controls to see if they can crash this safely.
The Caped Crusader himself. Batman.
This is just the summary of the idea. But as it goes they could have Superman taking care of Metropolis during the day. Taking care of accidents, saving civilians, dealing with the rare asteroid mid way through etc. typical Superman doing the best thing he can do. Save people.
But when Night falls, you switch to Batman who’s been secretly investigating around the city. Apparently that plane with the blown up engine wasn’t an accident. It was on purpose.
Before Clark got there. Bruce found the hanger was packed full of crates filled with strange rocks of diffrent colors near traces of a rock he knows well.
Kryptonite.
And somehow, someway. Someone was able to transform normal green kryptonite into different kinds of kryptonite.
So as it went on, supes would be trying his best to save everyone that are being used as bait to lure him out to kryptonite infested “accident” zones. While Bat’s job is to make it so they can barely smuggle a basic pebble of green kryptonite. Nevermind the crazy ones like gold.
In the end. Bruce realize that dead or not. This world needs him. So he joins the Justice league! Not as Batman.
But Owl man.
I don't know about the whole owlman part, but the rest sounds like an amazing game! During the day you're playing a power fantasy, while during the night you play an updated version of the arkham games. And the fact that what you do during the day and night can affect the world around you is perfect
I would have lex be the main antagonist and be the one making the kryptonite but the only problem is handing batman, a new design, name, weapons etc. idk how you'd use the fear toxin
@@terrorbillywilly7918 True I wasn’t fully sure in the owl man part either. But I couldn’t think of anything better and he can’t be Batman as everyone will know who he is and making knight’s ending irrelevant so… owl man.
@@Yourfat247 True. It would be predictable but it’d make sense.
As for the fear toxin? Maybe it could act as a new freeze bomb like gadget or something which makes thugs see everyone as Batman. Making them either start running into a wall head first, or straight up boxing their friends.
Superman from the animated series knew better than to trust Braniac completely even before finding out he committed multiple genocides on other worlds.
I hate bad comedy. Bad drama, bad horror, they can be unintentionally funny. But bad comedy just makes me want to die.
Suicide Squad put me in suicide watch
"Why are we going with this current MCU type of humor?"
You answered your own question. It's current. Specifically, the entire point of the Suicide Squad's recent popularity was a response to the runaway success of the _Guardians of the Galaxy_ movies specifically: no-name morally-ambiguous "heroes" saving the day?
But Peter Quill has charm and charisma. Guy wooed the daughter of Thanos, in part by convincing her that David Hasselhoff was a legendary warrior of Earth. How do you _not_ want to follow somebody with that kind of self-confidence and determination? But Harley Quinn's most consistent characterization is being a thirst trap, a characterization I always found a bit off. Isn't it a bit tasteless to make Harley Quinn's entire character revolve around how much she enjoys chewing moss when the entire conceit behind her character was an abuse victim? Can Harley Quinn for once not have a character revolve around who she's doing?
And then you have Rocket and Groot, the sub-team within the Guardians, who tie to Deadshot in only the most superficial way: the gun ones. That's it. It's so transparent that Rocksteady didn't care about Deadshot that they literally forgot what race the character used to be. To say nothing of the complete absence of a Groot analog. No worries. Not like Groot became super-iconic overnight or anything. I'm sure it's fine.
Then there's Drax, which really shows the hollowness of the homework copying at play here. Every single joke I've seen out of King Shark rips off Drax's schtick. No modification. No additions. No unique twist. What they missed was that Drax was complex. Considering Drax's backstory, he's literally his own comic relief. Drax's sense of humor is what stops him from being an edgelord because at least _some_ part of James Gunn knew that people were tired of _daaaaaaark_ and _eeeeeeedge_ and would rather his version of Drax would be more fun. Now, Dave Bautista is more well-known for his feud with Thanos than his feud with Triple H.
Marvel and DC have a long, storied tradition of ripping each other off over the decades. DC had Batman? Well, Batman doesn't really have to deal with a lot of more realistic everyday problems. ...Spider-Man! Come to think of it, Batman also doesn't kill, so what if there were a Batman who _did_ kill because he served in the Marine Corps? Punisher! Hulk begat Doomsday. Superman begat Captain America. Green Arrow begat Hawkeye. The League of Shadows begat the Hand. Nick Fury and SHIELD begat Amanda Waller and Cadmus. Hydra begat Cobra. Doctor Fate begat Doctor Strange. Static begat Miles Morales. Iron Man begat Lex Luthor's penchant for super-armor. Deathstroke begat Deadpool. Darkseid begat Thanos, and I could go on. (Or vice versa on any of the above; the point still stands.)
The problem is that every single instance of the above rip-offs changed the formula around, often substantially. It's hard to argue that Terry McGinnis has _no_ Peter Parker DNA in him (unlike Bruce... too soon?), but you could _never_ mistake him for a Marvel character because he approaches his problems in a distinctly DC way. For another famous example or two, Deadpool was a parody of the uptight super-serious boring assassin Deathstroke, while Lobo was returning the favor as a parody of the guns-and-pouches-are-cool on the Marvel side that was starting to get annoyingly cliché. So Cable doubled-down on futuristic badassery and iron will in the 90's X-Men cartoon, while Deathstroke's image was famously rehabbed in the _Teen Titans_ cartoon that reminded people what an ice-cold MFer he was. By copying each others' notes and having the self-awareness to recognize that what they were doing wasn't working, everybody won.
But in this game, there _is_ no reinvention. There is no "winning." Only copying, like a parasite. (Ironic, given what Brainiac is doing in plot.) The Suicide Squad in this game adds nothing to the formula but the kind of toxic irreverence that people are getting _reeeeaaally_ sick of these days, whether they're willing to admit to it publicly or not. Even people who are ambivalent to or even _approving_ of "wokeness" are noticing the problems with the writing always falling back on the same suite of obnoxious and predictable tropes again and again without fail, while the canaries in the coal mines are running victory laps upon victory laps about how they saw this all coming a decade ago and tried to warn you. Nobody wants this. This is some of the most nuclear backlash I've seen since Captain Hydra, and it's about time. I hope the fallout is felt in the writer's room.
Bro wrote an entire fucking essay👏
I remember thinking about how the Arkhamverse Superman was like. He was practically treated like a legend in the games, especially Arkham Knight. Now we’re here, and instead of being able to play him, we kill him in the lamest possible. Fuck this game.
This game was made while the previous high ups were around, so I can only hope with the new leadership and the Wonder Woman possibly succeeding we can finally get that Superman game we’ve been craving (along with the other league members). Though after this, I would not want Rocksteady to do it this time. Not with the garbage writers they have there now.
42:25 why didn't Boomerang just take his mask or something... Why did we have to hear that from King Shark
So Gotham City gets evacuated by a bomb threat but when an alien in a skull shape UFO they don't even think about evacuating the people of Metropolis
they literally did that because of what they thought could happen, the JL would've agreed with each other in any other iteration

I’m realizing that’s most of these people. Ever since the MCU started everyone called themselves a comicbook fan and don’t know shit. They watch a few movies or tv shows and try to act like an expert when there is literally almost 100 years of comics that explore several different stories. They may read 1-2 famous storylines and now all of a sudden they go around acting like elites or gatekeepers but don’t have a clue what they are talking about. It’s so sickening and it discribes you perfectly, you have no idea about the DC verse but think you know everythign about the suicide Squad
well from what warner bros said they aren't even considering this game canon to the arkhamverse
Maybe the reason that all the cosmetic stuff is expensive could have something to do with the fact that it’s the only way they’re going to make money off the game after sales from the game itself die down. You know, considering that everything else they’re adding to the game post lunch is free.
I mean they said the game sales flopped, they wanted to pull a fortnite
Honestly with the Arkham DNA if they had any kind of balls they could’ve done a similar narrative but let us play as Deathstroke. There’s definitely a narrative where Amanda Waller tasks Slade to neutralize NOT KILL - the league. Not only is Deathstroke a CRIMINALLY underused character, but he can actually feasibly at least neutralize every member of the league. If they keep the whole “steal Batman’s plans” part of the story - I can buy a narrative where Slade uses Batman’s plans against the league to take them out. The gameplay would be like Arkham - maybe with a few changes to account for superpowered boss fights, but mostly the mission structure could be maintained - breaking into the government facilities - the bat cave (maybe even include a mini boss fight with Nightwing) the fortress of solitude and the Hall of Justice to steal technology and resources to carry out Batman’s contingencies.
As a man of Steel fan, they REALLY did my boy superman dirty.
Sad that the intro wasn’t Seal…
I thought I was avoiding copyright by using a cover guess I was wrong I still got hit with copyright and now I regret not using Seal
Bro that opening with Kiss From a Rose was so good; gave me chills. So effective
That Injustice theme in the background gave me flashbacks to watching my cousin play it on his I-Pad🥹
I think maybe if it wasn't a full price £70 game it wouldn't have been so bad because if it was like £30 or £35 I'd be willing to at least give it a try
Green lantern, Batman,and Superman were the worst.
Yellow ring doesn’t just work by shooting lanterns constructs, Batman the man who overcame the strongest version of fear toxin knowing he’s at a mental peak. Was beaten by four average minded villians.( they should have went insane) not to mention he’s literally one tapped Harley and deadshot with his fist every appearance. Superman, strangest bc somehow they got gold kryptonite when the only time it was ever seen in game was in injustice 2 and had to be made by firestorm. But what do you expect from female writers, not to mention they made both Harley and Wonder Woman severely unattractive.
Before I say this I just want to say that I’m not defending the game but I don’t think that they were using the rings just the battery which is still lame
So, Joker's mutated blood just disappeared from Batman's body?
The only good thing you’ve said, so far is your comment about the double standards of Harley being allowed to get away with grabbing dead shots ass.
And most importantly All might from my hero Academia is a perfect Superman Inspired Character ✨
36:53 "She doesn't want to see you anymore. She doesn't want to see you anymore. She doesn't want to see you anymore."
Deathstroke sending a drone to send an bitterly blunt message to beastboy.
I wish they actually did a superman game instead man I would have played that. Even a team up game with batman and superman
Dman the injustice theme still slaps!
I mean...King Shark is not a meta-human either. He's not even a human. So none of the Suicide Squad members have any actual powers outside of sci-fi gadgets and some good aim with their guns.
Superman was melting wonder woman for like 18 seconds your telling me he couldn't use half of that time to kill the squad
You know I laughed when I heard Kiss from a Rose watching all of my Favorite DC Heroes Die just because it’s a Laugh of Truthful Pain, At First I was skeptical that the Justice League would be killed by the Suicide Squad but I thought WB mislead us and that they would Unbrainwashed later, but then when they Announced that this will be connected to the Arkham Series I was one of the few people who saw the Red Flags, then Kevin Conroy passed away and this would have been one of the Last Roles(with Crisis Part 3 seemingly being his Final Role), and don’t get me started on the multiple Delays for 3 Goddamn Years, the Shooting Mechanic, and the Live Server B$, I knew that this would be not just a Bad Game, but a Insult to DC and Arkham Fans that would have loved to see Rocksteady make either a Superman, Batman Beyond, or Justice League Game but now it’s clear that the Original People behind the Arkham Games have left and are given the Keys to New People that don’t understand what they’re doing that would lead this Once Great Company into Bankruptcy in the Most Distasteful and Distasteful Way Possible, Nobody in their Right Minds would want a Game that you killed off Some of your Favorite Heroes in Cold Blood, the Live Server Shooter Angle is a Terrible Game for a DC Game, the Only Good Character is King Shark, I like Deadshot but his Anger with Green Lantern is Dumb as Hell, this is the Wrost Harley Quinn played by Tara Strong I didn’t like, Captain Boomerang is the Worst Character in the Game, Lex is more Enjoyable than Waller, the Child Negret is pathetic, Ivy was a Weird Addition to ripoff the Guardians of the Galaxy More, the Graphics are a Major Downgrade to the Arkham Games especially when Knight was pure Perfection even if the Game is Overrated, the Side Characters are Boring, and is just Depressing and Not in a Good or Enjoyable Way when you Play or Watch, all I can Say is that MK1 and Spider-Man 2 are far better than this Abomination that I wish was Cancelled completely, this Game makes me want to play Injustice 2, Multiversus, and MK1 all at Once.
I agree but Harley is the worst character in the game, knight is not overrated at all its only over hated, Ivy was such a BS addition since she died in knight and MK 1 and SM 2 are amazing games
When you called knightmare batman an old school boss, you were spot on. They ripped off the Scarecrow Boss fight from Arkham Asylum (2009) 💀💀💀 And even then, Scarecrow was less cringe.
So if the knightfall protocol in Arkham knight was designed to kill Wayne/Batman so that his loved ones would not be targeted, how under any circumstances could he come out of hiding to join the Justice league even if he was invited? How is the league going to protect Batman's loved ones 24/7 from his Rogue Gallery who would definitely be gunning for them in this scenario? Its just dumb.
I agree that this game would've been better if it wasn't apart of the arkhamverse
I know they did not have MY GREEN LANTERN, IN THOSE DAMN GREEN LANTERN CORE BOXERS, DEAD?! >:(
and berated him for being a 'race traitor' because black cop
that too, this game was a mistake@@Yourfat247
The audio clip where the League discuss whether or not to open up negotiations with Brainiac was far more interesting than the rest of the game. Seriously.
that opening song was so fitting for me personally. i remember when that song was in the batman film when i was younger. i believe it was batman returns. i was a huge batman fan, so much so i convinced my mom to have that be the song her and my stepdad danced together to at their wedding.
just a reminder, these heroes are more than just characters to some of us. they have been integral parts to our lives and inspirations to aspire to.
The only thing i can tolerate and never get bored in this game is hearing kevin's voice
If this was a stand alone game it probably wouldn’t have gotten so much hate. But when they made it take place in the Arkham series was the moment Sweet Baby and Rocksteady fucked up.
Player counts on steam are consistently decreasing which says a lot. They appear to be lower today than they were before the Joker season. If the
trend continues then there will literally be like a hundred or less players within weeks. This has to be one of the biggest flops in live service history.
Brainiac literally arrives in a giant hentai skull ship and no member of the league (except for Batman, even though for no reason Batman decides to follow the rest of league into the giant hentai skull ship, something which Batman would never do, he’s way too suspicious of people to do that) thinks that’s a little weird, his skull ship literally looks like the most supervillain ship you could imagine and I would expect for a seasoned justice league he would just look like another villain of the week
Whenever I hear evil Superman I just imagine the boy band conveyer belt meme from Inside Out
Ngl I like the song at beginning and editing is solid enough, so sorry you didn't enjoy the game I myself am still very excited for this game
I hope you find more enjoyment in the game maybe if you have full squad of friends it's probably more tolerable, I might enjoy it more when I play as the characters I like but unfortunately it's a long wait for Deathstroke. I appreciate the kind words though mate
Also don't forget that King Shark is gay now. The devs really wanted you to know that
His sexuality will not fix the game!
I mean tbf in dark apoclolypse war, war, and movies in that timeline king shark and Constantine dated already this isnt new
Ok, I might be out of my mind, because I mostly ignored Batman's little radio braodcasts, but was he DIRECTING THE INVASION?!!!
Yet one more way the SS is toast, as they are not going to beat an army lead by Batman.
this is why i said multiverse is a character brand destroyer , because if you keep churning character dead or alive doesnt matter , power doesnt matter , action doesnt matter , then whats the point ? ,
theres no investment because everything can be anything , and anything can be meaningless ,
all because of multiverse , smh .
Bro wants to play as deathstroke but it’ll basically just be deadshot gameplay mixed with harley traversal
This game is literally everything why Sweet Baby Inc games must be avoided at all costs.
This is literally the worst superhero story ever written. It makes Madame Web seem semi-comptent.
The title foreshadowing the events of the game does not make the game immune from criticism
Kevin Conroy giving consent to the script does not make Batman's death immune from criticism
People who defend the death of Arkham Batman completely miss the point of why people are upset in the first place
*19:57* the plot armor is thicker then kars's abbs
Kars from jojo bizzare adventures by the way
I liked the part where you said "King Shark is a shark"
36:42 how is the joker alive when he died in Arkham City
seriously, 13 brainiacs wich means 13 diffrent earth do you really think joker is dead in every earth ah people who have no DC knowledge and think they have the right to talk about something, so sickening
@@omegaderose4342 omg, the only character we saw from a different universe was lex and he was the exact same, down to going bald
@@Yourfat247 the lex from earth 2 had a smaller body build then the one form earth 1, the earth 1 lex even had a muscular bodybuild wile the earth 2 looks like the Nerd version of Lex
Damn u got me i think that the video was gonna be on full spanish after that buenos días
Teen Titans Go would of given Arkham Batman a better send off.
I didn't know you were fighting Spider-Man at 33:03
That is the stupidest looking Lex Luthor.
Why is one of the number one complaints about suicide squad kill the justice league always that people think they should’ve made other games it take place in the Arkham universe instead of suicide squad kill the justice league? It says if the don’t think they could potentially make a game that takes place, before suicide squad, kill the justice league, and yes, you are included in that they. yes, this game is pretty much saying that this crisis is a multi verso crisis, and the justice league is dead and gone in every universe due to brainiac. But people always seem to forget that this game takes place. I think they said five years after Arkham knight, and that, even though the justice league hadn’t yet been formed, potentially some of the other superheroes did exist during the time of the Arkham series timeline. The formation of the justice league happened after Arkham night supposedly soon after, but that means that they could have an entire five years to work with for any justice league game to be set in in between the events of Arkham knight and suicide squad kill the justice league. just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it can’t, and will never happen, and just because it can’t take place after suicide squad, kill the justice league, doesn’t mean that he can’t, and won’t take place before.
This garbage is not Canon. I refuse
Why didn’t boomerang shove a bomb in Walker’s neck after she threw away her only leverage like with ivy. If they blowup might as well take her with them.
Why is no one pointing out how bad the voice acting for the entire Justice league is
Can I just say, why does everybody call Superman Kal-El nowadays? I know it’s his real name but isn’t he supposed to be considered more human than alien? After all that’s why he takes the Kent name and gives his son that last name.
38:05
The game is so unpopular they might not make it to the 4th season
It's not the falg, it's the combination of that and everything else that's bad (and woke, such as Harley Quinn, as a whole, WW's model and general attitude, the REAL Deadshot lmao, etc.) that it makes those things really highlight in hindsight.
The controversy about the mod to replace these flags in Spiderman for american flags is still fresh in my mind, too, so ofc I would notice that.
So yeah, I'll call it out when I see it. I know their little speeches and reasoning. The well has been consitently poisoned by themselves, and as such, I refuse to give the benefit of the doubt.
31:20 to 32:26 Everything about this is so funny. Because everything about this game can be compared to another product that shares the same universe of this characters in another story. In Injustice 2, the Justice League shows up to the Brainiac's ship to fight him and at the end Batman is the one who ends him. Alongside with Superman who clearly at first hand knew who Brainiac was. Now this version is downright stupid enough to not do the same thing?
In Batman Assault on Arkham Batman literally took everyone from the Suicide Squad by himself. Somehow he doesn't here? (Worse, the movie shares the same universe as the arkham games)
I actually rly like that "BECAUSE YOU ARE AUSTRALIAN" joke, I think if that joke was in a much better game, people would've enjoyed it 😂 it's a very "Drax-y" thing to say.
0:31 game almost as bad as this cover of kiss from a rose lol
The only reason I’d like this game is King Shark. He’s a big dope.
They turned Goated Kevin Conroy's Arkham Bruce Wayne Batman into a joke in a childrens cartoon. Like Is there nothing sacrosanct to these new devs?
Like Batmans boss fight in this game is a childrens cartoon villian, i cannot take him seriously he's not even scary. Back to not taking childrens cartoon villians seriously, i can watch watch My Little Pony and take at least one villian there more seriously.
They missed so many crucial aspects im confident the people writing this game were all random twitter users.
Wonder Woman has a sisterhood with fire, duplicated from Hestia. So, even if heat vision killed her, it would not have done so in that manner. Maybe the ''force'' would have collapsed her sternum or bore a hole through her torso, but unless you're saying Superman's heat surpasses Hesti...no, Wonder Woman doesn't burn up. If Hestia doesn't burn from Helios(sun), Asteria(the rest of the visible stars), Hyperion(even more than that), Apollo(light itself) Superman doesn't cut it.
And I really don't get this urge to turn Braniac into a team villain. He's a guy who gets stopped by Superman on his own. He gets shaken by Superman like he tried to make off with Superman's lunch money. Like fifty straight years, that was Brianiac. He was a team member of a Superman fanboy "legion" in the future, and one of the weaker members in combat. He was one of thirteen seats on The Legion Of Doom, which outnumbered The Super Friends and still lost 99% of the time! But yeah, now he's DC Galactus? He can beat Stormwatch by himself? It's over inflating a mid tier villain for no good reason. Surely there was some preexisting Justice Society/Leage/Legion villain better suited for the role. Surely coming up with a new villain wouldn't be that hard. At most Braniac should be a Superman+Superboy/Insect Queen/Supergirl/Hyperman/Power Girl type villain that Superman maybe needs one sidekicks to help takedown when Brainiac manages to sucker punch Superman or something. At least team Braniac up with Lex Luthor or Doomsday if we're supposed to buy him beating Superman AND four other superheroes who don't even share Superman's weaknesses.
