THE IDEA OF the Suicide Squad, DC’s cadre of scrappy supervillains —which include among their number a clown, a fish, a gun fetishist, and a loudmouth Aussie with trick boomerangs — stepping up when the real heroes are taken off the board could make for a great game. Unfortunately, Kill The Justice League is not it. Coming from the prestigious Rocksteady Studios, developer of the much-loved Batman: Arkham games, and building on the continuity of that series — interplanetary conqueror Brainiac taking over Superman’s home turf of Metropolis and brainwashing the Justice League —it very much should be. But in shifting from story-driven single-player adventures to a loot-chasing, multiplayer-focused model, it drowns in mediocrity.
