In Suicide Squad, Rocksteady Still Doesn’t Acknowledge Batman: Arkham Origins
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is out now for players who purchase the game’s more expensive edition which includes, among other perks, a few days of early access. That means some DC Comics fans are well on their way to weighing the merits of Rocksteady’s first post-Batman game, even as it’s still set in the Arkhamverse. But according to one early scene in the game, Rocksteady still doesn’t consider WB Montreal’s Batman: Arkham Origins to be part of that story universe.
Please note this story contains minor spoilers for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League (and the Arkham series) past this point.
About an hour into the game, your ragtag group of playable villains will find themselves in The Batman Experience, an interactive exhibit set in the Metropolis History Museum dedicated to the Dark Knight himself. As the anti-heroes explore this space, you can activate a great number of displays that discuss Batman’s many heroic deeds, as well as his deep rogues gallery of defeated ne’er-do-wells. You can listen to Gotham reporter Jack Ryder’s voiceover as he puts into context each of the Big Bads shown throughout the exhibit.
