It’s not too hard to envision Captain Boomerang’s ability to fire his trademark boomerangs, being traceable all the way back to the work Rocksteady Studios’ put into making Batman’s own Batarangs. While appearing to be slightly more violent than the Batman of Arkham City’s already gratuitous attacks, King Shark’s ability to beat down one of Brainiac's minions suggests that his moves will be inspired heavily by the former’s melee-based arsenal. The comparisons between the two, and the new villainous spin on proceedings, don’t stop there either. Harley Quinn’s ability to grapple and float around the city of Metropolis in particular, looked a lot like the moves that Batman utilized in order to explore the open-world setting of Rocksteady Studios’ second Arkham game. During the Game Awards’ brief examination of the game, several members of the titular band of villains employed tactics that could have easily come straight from The Dark Knight’s own playbook.
RELATED: What to Expect From Warner Bros Interactive in 2022 Suicide Squad’s Gameplay HeritageĮven though Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will feature optional cooperative gameplay and live-service design hooks, the game still appears to have a lot in common mechanically with its action-adventure cousin, Arkham City. It should be no surprise, based upon Rocksteady Studios’ previous work, how much the upcoming open world game looks like a villain-themed take on Batman: Arkham City. While details are still being released at a relative snail’s pace, and there’s still notably no release date attached to the project, last year’s Game Awards provided an exciting look at the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s gameplay in action. Having been teased since towards the end of WB Games Montreal’s Batman: Arkham Origins, expectations over how the Suicide Squad's game would shape up have been allowed to build ever since. Fans will likely be excited about the latter in particular, considering how it’s been seven years since Rocksteady Studios released Batman: Arkham Knight. Barring any potential delays though, things should change dramatically in 2022 thanks to Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. While Marvel has been busy finding developers to adapt the likes of Spider-Man and The Avengers, things have been quiet on the DC front aside from a few titles such as Lego DC Super-Villains. Over the last few years, DC Comics fans have had to deal with a shortage of top-quality console games based upon the iconic pantheon of heroes.
