Suicide Squad Retcons Batman Death; More Batman Arkham Games Now Possible

Expert Verified By

Rocksteady Potentially Returning To Batman Arkham Series!

Story Highlight
  • Suicide Squad’s latest episode confirms Batman and the Justice League are not dead.
  • The episode reveals that the Suicide Squad killed clones created by Brainiac.
  • This major retcon could be part of Rocksteady’s future plans to revive the Batman Arkham franchise.

Suicide Squad became controversial for more than a few reasons. Its live-service approach was a complete failure, the game failed to measure up to Batman Arkham’s legacy, and it cost Warner Bros millions in losses.

These problems aside, the game’s treatment of its main cast also became a point of contention. Everyone in the Justice League was killed, including the same Batman from the Arkham series. Fans were unhappy with this outcome, and nearly one full year later, Rocksteady has retconned the plot point, opening up new possibilities for the future.

Why it matters: Fans have wanted to see another Batman Arkham game for the longest time, and many believe the retcon is a small hint at Rocksteady’s future plans.

The latest episode of Suicide Squad shows Batman alive and well. It also confirms that the heroes killed during the game were clones created by Brainiac, confirming that heroes like Superman and The Flash are still alive.

This retcon has seemingly come out of nowhere since the Justice League’s death was the foundation of Rocksteady’s latest game, and it could have more than a few implications for the team’s future.

The Batman Arkham universe can now be continued with the same Batman reprising his role as the series lead. Elsewhere, the team could work on a future Justice League or Superman game within this universe, something many have wanted for years. Interestingly, James Gunn has also teased more games in the same universe.

This story beat concludes Suicide Squad, ending Rocksteady’s ambitious albeit futile live-service efforts. The title was recently given away on PS Plus in a last-ditch effort to attract more players, but the reaction has been anything but positive.

As such, the team will likely return to a familiar superhero in the future, making this retcon the perfect setup for another Batman Arkham entry.
