What's the deal with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League?

The DC Comics antihero co-op action game is being developed by Batman: Arkham studio Rocksteady for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and is scheduled for release on May 26.

The game is set in the same universe as the beloved Arkham games and will likely feature similar gameplay (with a multiplayer twist). It sees the titular group of villains tasked with saving Metropolis from alien supervillain Brainiac and his brainwashed Justice League. 

So Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark -- characters seen in 2016 movie Suicide Squad and 2021's The Suicide Squad -- will be forced to take on Superman, the Flash and company.

It'll also feature the late actor Kevin Conroy's final performance as Batman. It's unclear how big the Dark Knight's role will be, but a trailer suggested he'll battle the heroes in Arkham (meaning they'll travel to Gotham City at some point).
