Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League Is Horrible 

The fact the man who beat 45 villains in one night died to low fodder like this is insane lol sad way to see Arkham Batman go out

The fact that they had wonderwoman instead of batman not be brainwashed is insane to me. Batmans already well known to have contigency plans for the entire justice league including himself. Have him be a reluctant mentor to the main characters. Have him be visable distressed at the thought of having to kill his former teammates and friends, something the player charecters are all too happy to do. Have him be like a training dummy to teach you new controls and abilites, but also always beating you up, reinstilling how much more powerful he is compared to you. Have him, the worlds greatest detective, come up with ways to defeat the justice league that noone else would be able to do (instead of more gun). Is this not clearly the better way of doing this? Am i crazy?

This isn’t how it happened. This, isn’t how The Batman died.

The fact this game retroactively offscreen makes a justice league just to easily kill them off is hilarious

The fact that this story takes place in the Arkhamverse really makes this game so much worse. If it was its own universe entirely, it'd still fall short of Rocksteady's quality in storytelling & gameplay, but it wouldn't be an insult to their legacy.

This whole game is like a Scarecrow nightmare hallucination

Legit want to speak with the person/people who thought that a LOOTER SHOOTER was the best fit for a suicide squad game that's about killing the league.

suicide squad: kill the franchise

The most unsettling part of the game was when it forced switched Pyro to stop playing the only tolerable character. Also *12* seasons of different Brainiacs, what are the chances all of it actually gets released and not stopped halfway through because the playerbase isn't there and the game shuts down.

the 9 hour live was actual purgatory

Fun fact did you know Tolkien was originally going to make a sequel to lord of the rings, he stopped because he realized that LoTR was already a completed story that didn’t need a sequel, I wish rocksteady did the same with the Arkhamverse.

Rocksteady has literally become the definition of: "You either die a Hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the Villian."

I'm glad this game doesn't exist, it's just a collective hallucination that will fade away soon, can you imagine a dumpster fire like this actually being real?

Imagine a Kill the Avengers game where fuckin Shocker gives a speech to Spiderman before blowing his head off.

As a game designer I LOVE this games, because this is a perfect example to what NOT to do. Hearing pyro lament and reading the comments are like a master class on how not to do a super hero game with already stablished characters that everyone love. It’s like…listening to the fans isn’t that dificult

Imagine having 4 unique characters, some already have established combat mechanics like Harley just for all of them to use guns. The have a Hulk character (King Shark) that uses guns. DEADSHOT doesn’t have aimbot nor ricochet that could also interact with the environment. Capt. Boomerang could at least have wide AOE crowd controls or something. The squad have 4 members yet all play the same with little deviation. Gotham Knights got a lot of shit but it’s a thousand times more fateful to the characters and universe.

The probelm is that they should have made it non-cannon, It just seems like they're trying to get rid of the heroes in the most disrespectful way possible. Instead of simply having Batman been too old and have him pass the suit on to someone else, be it Robin or a son/daughter... as has been done before. But yes, the game itself is mediocre, it is totally focused on future motenization so objectively is a 4/10.

Harley saying "step on me next" to Wonder Woman is honestly relatable

Calling it now, last dlc will reveal the justice league actually were just clones the whole time as a final kick to the balls

I still can't get over how Batman was treated in this game. It's not only disrespectful to the character, but disrespectful to the original Rocksteady team behind the arkham trilogy. They just embarrassed him and turned him into a joke. And oh my god, "causin long term mental and emotional damage to everyone you knew." Imagine being a writer and writing Harley Quinn to say this to Batman in amongst her little monolouge before she shoots him in le head. They don't even play into the sadness of that death at all, it's like the new writers hate the arkhamverse.

We are never getting out of the aslume at this rate lads

The fact that they captured Batman and didn't think to experiment on him to see how the mind control works and potentially find a cure that could be used to immediately stop superman

NGL would've been alot better if this was an alternate universe and not the official arkham-verse bc this game is the equivalent of the koopalings defeating the Mario brothers officially, it doesn't make sense and it leaves a bitter taste for the fans bc they aren't even the main antagonists and they manage to accomplish something that someone who's at least 10x stronger than them could never manage to. Batman's death was also anticlimactic asf like really? he just sat there on the park bench, gave a corny one-liner, got a corny one-liner back from Harley and got shot in the head point blank with a normal revolver, a 5 year-old could've thought of a much better ending than that like wtf. This is some MW3 tier writing right there. Edit: I looked further into the game since I only cared what happened to Batman... Did Rocksteady purposefully try to make this their worst-reviewed game I don't get why they did such a shit job.

It's luckily not Kevin Conroy's last performance. He voiced two more Batman projects. Animated Movies only I believe.

You can tell the writers hated the original Arkham games, the cringey monoluge Harley delivers before shooting Batman is proof enough.

It’s funny how Wonder Woman is the only one to escape the mind control when that’s literally Batman’s contingency plan for her. Any other league member would have made more sense: Batman (mental fortitude), green lantern (high willpower), flash and Superman (fastest members and could have just run away)

1:53:21 damn, you can tell Pyro was genuinely bewildered at this shitshow of a game when his eyes bulged out lol

I love when companies take a good story, go completely against what already happened, say it’s the same universe then shamelessly insert money grabs into the game. Truly the pinnacle of the gaming industry

"kill the justice league" missing two main members btw

Damn near got chills when flash said “you have to kill us diana” that one cutscene was better than everything else combined. Why couldn’t this game be more of that wtf.

They actually went "Lets model it after that absolute dumpster fire of an Avengers game Square Enix put out."

This could easily be the best Arkham game if you played as batman and had to use his arsenal to take down the justice league. The mans planned it all, he'd 100% be able to do it!

They’re going to have to retcon this game out of existence to save the arkhamverse, this is terrible

The man who holds contingencies on defeating the Justice league, even himself, lost to a goddamn Clussy. Okay buddy, like Im believing your Harley Quinn fan service.

any game that tells you to "press space to jump" will not be respecting your intelligence throughout it.

Just a small correction on the topic of Superman's weaknesses.: Cryptonite is not his only weakness. he is VERY vulnerable to magic as well, to the point that in He-Man Crossover event he got mind-controlled by Skeletor almost instantly, as an example. Yellow Lantern Ring also had no problem taking over him, so pretty much anything targeting his mind seems to be effective.

The game also retconned Deadshot's appearance so he could be black. On Arkham Origins, Assualt on Arkham, and Arkham City Deadshot was white but they retconned this by saying the Deadshot from the other games was a fake and the one in this game is the real Deadshot and he tracked down and killed the "fake" one

This is the most rushed development of a universe I’ve ever seen. Began as Batman-centric with vague hints towards other heroes setting up their existence, then all of a sudden the entire DC universe gets involved, none of them actually act like themselves for their first appearance, they all _die_ in their first appearance, 3/4 of the main protagonists are complete newcomers to this universe and, oh yeah, MULTIVERSE

13 Brianiacs, 13 reasons why

0:11 that didn’t age well

Genuine thanks for the 3:50 minute rundown of the game. I knew it was gonna be bad but I didn't think they'd go that far and do all that god damn

pyro's reviews are elite

I wished they made a Red Hood game that was based off Under the Red Hood Jason Todd. Severely underrated character before DC ruined him.

That Sweet Baby Inc. writer lady was saying "we respected Kevin," and then you get to the memorial speech stapled onto the end of the game. Followed by "Mission Accomplished?" And getting a fucking gun called "Birdie Master _Mystery Illness."_ Literally three seconds after the fade to black for a tribute to a man who died of _cancer._ I'm not sure what's worse, that? Or bringing on a writing team who decided to make Harley Quinn a pedophile, while letting her moralize in the lead-up to executing Batman.

God, you know it's bad when Pyro knows some of the comics' rules are being broken. Also, his statement about the alternate universe is ironic because of Joker DLC.

All these triple "AAA" games are embodiments of replacement theory.

this game was 10000% supposed to be aa destiny type game but got reworked at the last minute, every mechanic screams "mmo looter shooter"

It’s just such a massive tonal clash, because the game absolutely expects you to take it seriously when they have you game end the justice friends, with them playing le sad music.mp3 and everything, but the characters are constantly making MCU one-liners, and the gameplay is wacky and zany, and none of the player characters even take a moment to reflect on these moments, Harley literally just ventilates Batman, and leaves his body lying dead on a bench, you can’t expect us to take these moments seriously, if the game can’t. Like, this is one of the prime examples of Millenial writing I’ve ever seen, you can tell they got some fresh new writers straight out of California, and they packed the game so full of Reddit-tier dialogue because they’re terrified of anyone losing interest or worse, not chuckling, for even a moment, and this obviously comes at the cost of the overall writing quality. Like, it we’re actually killing a brainwashed Superman, don’t have him quip, have him be a genuine threat that doesn’t speak as he speeds around the arena, acting more like a stage hazard than a boss or enemy. You’re killing this character, and if you want us to take it seriously, you can’t be throwing jokes at us. And all of this is without even bringing up that this is a $70 game with micro-transactions that’s single-player yet always online, and can only cross the 9 hours of gameplay mark if you do EVERYTHING.

What if as the premise of the game instead; you pick which Justice League member to play to fight against the brainwashed teammates. . That way you can enjoy to continue to play this as a Arkham game or see how Rocksteady would have done a Superman or Wonder Woman game. I just want to play as either Wonder Woman or Batman and see their struggles of finding ANY alternative than to kill their friends and team. . Leading to a GTA 5 esque choice where the choice to save the Justice League member is WAY harder than killing the brainwashed version; but you unlock the ability to play as the member you saved.

“Congratulations team, you’ve made it farther than anyone else.” They… They took the train.

I love how they decided to pick most B tier villians to kill the JUSTICE LEAGUE. like if it was the injustice league sure, but they went and made all the heroes nerfed to shit and reinforced the main characters plot armor just to drive the plot forward.

Would’ve been so much better if they had Jason or Night-wing kill Batman. They definitely could’ve had them come in to help the squad beat Batman and had them put Batman out of his misery.

They didn't even let Kevin read the in-game last message to The Daily Planet. Shameful and hollow desecration of the man's legacy. This is like Rocksteady went down to 7/11, got a birthday card, scribbled out happy birthday, and wrote sorry for your loss, threw in their business card, and called it a day.

Sloppy squad: kill the slop league.

What’s with these people (writers) butchering well known characters in established universe by killing them in disrespectful way? TLOU 2 and Star Wars Sequel Trilogy as examples Edit: I see that Sweet Baby Inc is the culprit of all this

Thank Sweet Baby Inc. for this.

The peak was the silence Australian bit

As a big Batman fan, this game pissed me off so much.

So Braniac is capable of mind controlling every JL member, but loses to people with guns and a shark that can jump extra good. Gotcha.

"like i'm playing Clash Of Clans" is easily the best pyro quip of the week

Most characters in the DC comics tend to have interesting backstories and character relatability. Green Lantern/Guy Gardner/Hal Jordan is a pretty relatable character in the way that he has to stay in line with one emotion and mindset in order to even function with the Green Lantern corp ring. What i mean is that we can relate to him on the level that we cant let negative emotions like fear, rage, and greed take hold of us or we become something that is less than desirable. The reason why i say that is due to the fact that Hal Jordan has many times given in to different negative emotions and has become a villain because of that. Of course Batman on a basic level is mostly relatable in his character, but I feel like certain characters are very underappreciated due to the fact that their powers and gimmicks seem too odd to be relatble, but its kinda a fact that powers are only their to serve as a plot device while the character is what usually comes in front. So in other words, Pyro and so many others shouldn't judge a character based off of one small part of their whole character. Also Superman has multiple weaknesses but I'll guess we can ignore that fact since some people choose to not read comics or at least do some more research.

It's very offensive to me that they killed off an iconic hero as if he's a joke.

The only takeaway i have from this game is that the Multiverse is a thing now, so we can just collectively act like Arkham is in a different universe and that this is a fever dream Edit: I wrote this before watching the while thing. This is such a horrible follow up to Knight. I know this game will fail and honestly, I kinda hope it does.

"Sunset overdrive: kill the justice league"

I definitely just consider this a darkmultiverse take on the arkhamverse. Like just the worst scenario that could happen

"People can't call you a Critikal clone because his content is enjoyable" was such a legendary dono and Pyro's response had me rolling. RIP Dono guy, you will be remembered o7 Time: starts at 7:05

We gotta get Pyro to play the Arkham games on stream...

The problem is that it is made to only make money. Before the creators actually liked what they did. Now it's just fast food products

Love how they added the casing falling sound effect when shooting a revolver for batmans death

whenever pyro reacts to a dono negatively i cant tell whats acting and whats genuine emotion

Garth Ennis level writing

Pyro shouting from the bathroom when he hears someone talk shit about him is legit the funniest thing I've ever seen on this channel.

Pyro hating a game because they didn't make the Shark character obese. What a surprise

You know, I wonder if this game could have been about the Suicide Squad *defeating* the Justice League one by one and then freeing them from Brainiac's control, without the whole "murdering superheroes" part. Plus, I saw a comment saying that Batman could have been the one not under Brainiac's control instead of Wonder Woman, as he had came up with a contingency plan to defeat the Justice League in case they were brainwashed or gone rogue, and that could have served as the Squad's mentor. Wouldn't it be crazier if the game was instead titled Suicide Squad vs. the Justice League?

The fact that Braniac took over literal superhumans/a super skilled dude with technology, but ultimately fails to a crazy chick, a guy who's good with guns, an Australian and a shark guy with daddy issues truely baffles me

The thing is, they could've defeated the JL and captured them in super holding cells and then stopped the brainwashing and saved the city, then you could of played as the villains or JL in stopping the other brainiacs in the other dimensions for different seasons keeping the game some what alive.

Holly hell, manlet Ivy is literally AVA from Borderlands 3

Pyro really admitted to being lesbian, I’m proud of him

The debit card bit, dear lord.

To be honest, I thought Harley intentionally missed any vital weakpoints when she shot Batman.

It’s hinted at, and there’s lots of evidence behind the fact that the entire “justice league “ are just genetic copies of the originals and that in season two we will have to go up onto brainiacs ship and save them, so none of the justice league is actually dead.

Imagine selling 1/13th of a game

This is made by people who hate heroes, incentivized with a message to send. As has happened so many times, people who hate the source material have taken over to try and change it just to spite the fans It will only get worse

It's hilarious that this is one of those videos where people aren't absolutely rawdogging pyro, instead agreeing with him on the game

The fact evil John Stewart’s voice effect is just Arkham Knights voice modulator to a T is the finest example of how lazy this game is.

why in ever single game that one black lady she is in, she is the only one who looks like the voice actor?? ALSO ... Multiverse storylines are the death of creativity and stakes in a story >.>

This is literally the only thing Pyro has said that we can agree on

David bowie didn’t have heterochromia, he had anisocoria(his pupils were different sizes)

This shows how Sloppycynical truly lives in a society.

To beat oompaville, do petscop 2 and 3 on the same day

grinding out side missions just so you can proceed with the main mission reminds me of genshin impact forcing you to grind like hell in order to increase your adventure rank by 2 just to continue playing story mode

I lasted an hour and 40 minutes. Just long enough to get a refund from Steam. I took everyone's advice and used King Shark. Too many numbers...

Batman's death was nothing but disrespectful

I can just feel r/batmanarkham becoming even more insane over this

Reaction to THE Batman scene is at around 1:51:50

1:58 BRO IM DEAD 💀THE DELAY AND EVERYTHING 😭"I'm-I'm-I'm playing single player!" In the GOOFIEST ASS VOICE

love how the logo for teh currency is just the Lexus logo in a triangle

Pyro's eyes poppin off of his eye sockets when they killed Batman killed me, lmao

Guys, I have definitive proof that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League does _not_ take place in our Arkhamverse. What I'm about to tell you is 100% legitimate and irrefutable evidence. Trust me, bro. Anyway, in Batman: Arkham Knight, if you go to Bruce's office in Wayne Tower, you can listen to a voice message from Lex Luthor. His voice is buttery smooth and could cause anyone who listens to it to spontaneously orgasm. But when you listen to Lex's voice in SSKTJL, it is not the same titillating voice we hear in Arkham Knight. Therefore, I can confidently conclude that SSKTJL takes place in either an alternate timeline or a simulation where the creator of said simulation messed up Lex's voice. How dare they. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

2:11 who the fuck in rocksteady sat down and said that was good idea?
