The ultimate content material for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League has revealed the true ending of the sport. Regardless of Warner Bros. Video games and Rocksteady Studios clearly straining to make amends for the sport’s greatest narrative flaws, the end result ended up being yet one more closing nail that condemned the sport as one of many worst.
(Editor’s Word: Although apparent, we nonetheless should state this text will include spoilers for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.)
Going viral on X, the ending cutscene has appeared below a number of YouTube channels – GameClips importing it twice, and the closing cutscenes and battles of Season 4. For these unaware, or who had dropped the sport earlier than its extra content material and use of barely-animated 2D cutscenes, it appears the Justice League wasn’t useless, even earlier than the ultimate season.
Brainiac had recovered the useless our bodies of every member of the League and resurrected them to proceed serving him and his “iterations” on different Earths. The Flash and Inexperienced Lantern had been rescued in prior seasons for use towards Brainiac’s forces, and it’s in the course of the restoration of Superman that the ultimate ending is unveiled.
After touchdown the ultimate blow on Brainiac, Harley narrates the ultimate cutscene which rapidly conveys what occurred, and suggests all the pieces. Superman seems, not solely devoid of brainwashing however seemingly because of a dwelling Batman. As Batman punches Brainiac, he reveals the Justice League members had been clones.
It’s by no means precisely defined if the Justice League members we see within the ending are the clones, or if they’re the unique heroes having damaged out one way or the other. Additional, we additionally solely see Superman, Batman, Inexperienced Lantern, and The Flash. Surprise Girl isn’t seen in any respect within the ending, exterior a statue of her on one other Earth.
Quite stunning given the sport turned the poster baby of the DEI help studio, Candy Child Inc.
As an alternative of handing over the recovered Justice League members to Amanda Waller – undoubtedly to misuse, as if the Suicide Squad might tackle 4 League members without delay – Hack, Lawless, and Toy-Man “quick out” the bombs within the Squad’s heads.
As characters are seen teleporting away, it may very well be assumed it’s a part of the Justice League making an attempt to assist the affected worlds (probably returning everybody dwelling).
Harley then states the Squad will stick collectively and journey the Elseworlds. Brainiac is handed over to Waller, who can “take the credit score,” on the danger of Lois Lane revealing the data she had been given on ARGUS.
Further audio logs reveal what Deathstroke instructed the Suicide Squad; that whereas they had been instructed to kill the Justice League, they had been by no means anticipated to succeed, and Waller wished to seize them for her personal ends. As an alternative, the multiverse opened up the potential of potential Job Power X recruits, and even a protégé for herself.
Lawless proposes to leak data to Lane as “insurance coverage” to blackmail Waller and get out from Job Power X, just for it to be revealed that the complete Squad had individually been speaking to Lane already. They proceed to ship a finalized listing of calls for for Waller (faking their deaths, cash to themselves and charities, and so forth.) and put together to “die.”
Other than Lois Lane being a world-famous reporter in most iterations of the DC Universe, it’s not defined how Waller wouldn’t have the sources to make the story, or her, disappear or be discredited.
One other audio log reveals Waller’s interrogation of Brainiac. Together with revealing the Suicide Squad had stolen Brainiac’s Cranium Ship to cruise across the multiverse, Brainiac’s makes an attempt to barter higher phrases with Waller are rejected. She reveals Brainiac now has a bomb in his head to make sure he cooperates.
Even ignoring how rushed the ending is introduced, it appears it desperately tried to fulfill each those that hated and genuinely appreciated the story. But it nonetheless undermines itself at each flip.
The unceremonious deaths of the Justice League – particularly Batman – are undone, but undermine any stakes or drama of the “Justice League’s” evil actions, or combating them. Superman wanting the League to “atone” is in character, however holds much less weight because it actually wasn’t them.
That’s assuming the clones had been those gamers initially met- some extent by no means made clear. Neither is precisely what Batman’s “plan” was, or how he orchestrated it. A determined try to present the Arkhamverse Batman a final hurrah.
As well as, the implication that the Suicide Squad and Justice League’s journey’s might proceed is considerably insulting to these already pushed away from Rocksteady and Warner Bros. Video games’ future works on account of this sport.
The aforementioned viral tweets and YouTube feedback have proven poorly the ending has been obtained. Followers had been upset Surprise Girl was nonetheless seemingly useless (and for nothing), the ending being a “lazy webcomic” that made the complete narrative of the sport pointless, and a lazy try at injury management for the Arkham model and future Rocksteady video games.
To not point out, the ending didn’t redeem the sport narratively or general.
