Though one of the highest grossing films of 2016, Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad was a critical disappointment. Denounced by critics and audiences alike for thin characters and messy plotting, the film led many to check out of the already troubled DC Extended Universe. But an announcement trailer for Rocksteady’s long-rumored video game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could set Harley and co. back on the right path.

Released this past weekend during DC FanDome, Kill the Justice League’s trailer features seemingly everything viewers were promised back in 2016. Here are a few of the ways Kill the Justice League appears to have learned from Suicide Squad’s missteps.

After a new Suicide Squad movie trailer roared onto screens in early 2016 with Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” rocking in the background, audiences were expecting the film to be DC’s Deadpool. Those hopes were dashed a short time later when the studio confirmed the film’s PG-13 rating, leaving many viewers disappointed. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, on the other hand, has been confirmed as existing in Rocksteady’s Arkhamverse, of which the last major console title, Batman: Arkham Knight, received an M for Mature rating. That legacy, combined with the game’s violence and Boomerang’s choice words at the end of the trailer, set up Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to deliver the wildly inappropriate ride fans have been waiting for since 2016.

Suicide Squad Has A Compelling Villain

One of the most common complaints levied against the 2016 Suicide Squad film was that the main villain, Enchantress, was simply uninteresting. Though Enchantress had all the potential to be a thrilling enemy for the film’s “heroes,” Suicide Squad’s efforts to focus on her backstory and make her a sympathetic character resulted in Enchantress getting lost in a film critics decried for its number of character introductions. Even writer/director David Ayer has since stated that, if given the chance, he would likely change the film’s villain to the Joker, an instantly recognizable and compelling character. It seems the team at Rocksteady were listening, because they have employed the same tactics by implementing Superman as the game’s villain along with the rest of the Justice League, instantly hooking even the most casual DC fans. Though the real villain is whatever (or whoever) is likely controlling Superman, it’s the familiarity of the villains in the trailer (and the title) that will get gamers’ attention.

Suicide Squad Has Familiar Faces

In the same fashion, a major feature of Kill the Justice League is its popular player characters. As mentioned previously, the Suicide Squad film was widely criticized for the sheer amount of screen time dedicated to the introduction of its wide cast of characters. In contrast, the game’s first trailer spends no time on introductions, throwing viewers right into the action with Deadshot, Boomerang, an evil Superman, and the instantly recognizable Harley Quinn. Strangely, this is a bit of a Catch-22: here, Deadshot, Boomerang, and Harley all benefit from the wider recognition they gained with the 2016 film and from their comic appearances, yet the movie itself was criticized for the way it introduced these characters. While more characters from the rich DC canon will undoubtedly be shown off later, keeping the cast small and recognizable in this first trailer (and potentially the first part of the game) allows players to latch onto the familiar and invest in the story.

Suicide Squad Has Time on Its Side

AAA titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League take a notoriously long time to produce, and with good reason – making video games is a lot of work! While Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad has at least another two years of development ahead, David Ayer had only six weeks to write the script for the 2016 film, not to mention millions of dollars’ worth of studio-mandated reshoots only months away from the film’s release. With the game set for release in 2022, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has plenty of time to get things right, while fans can keep themselves busy campaigning for Warner Bros. to release the Ayer cut.
