The latest game from Rocksteady, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, has confirmed that it is part of the Arkham Games universe. According to the development team, this latest game is in the same universe as the first three Arkham games. Thanks to a new comic launched recently, some more details about Batman and his fate in Arkham Knight were clarified.
There are many new things in the Arkham Universe, all making sense with what you see in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Amanda Waller and other characters play a very important role in what comes to these villains who will save the earth.
The role of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the Arkham universe
Thanks to this new comic release by DC called Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum, a lot of questions that were part of the Batman: Arkham Knight ending were finally answered. Arkham Knight ends with the supposedly dead Bruce Wayne, just after he was exposed as Batman. In the comic, you can see that Batman is working without any trouble, so this could mean that he just abandoned his life as Bruce Wayne. The hero is in the new Arkham Asylum helping to translate some new inmates, so he is working as normal as always.
Another main detail revealed is that Amanda Waller, head of A.R.G.U.S., is not in charge of the Arkham Asylum. Is it confirmed that King Shark killed the Batman villain, Victor Szasz. While Batman brought Killer Croc to this new version of the Arkham Asylum, this character may be playable in the game sometime later. The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has mentioned that it will have a roadmap of new content with many new characters to use later this year; the Joker is already confirmed.
More lore could be revealed in the next entry of this comic
DC has announced that the Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum comic will have five issues in total. This could also bring so much new information about what happened to the rest of the Bat family once the Bruce Wayne identity was revealed.
Batman: Arkham Knight has not been very clear about the fate of Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and the others. The lore is vast and could bring more light into how new characters could appear in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Rocksteady has a lot of content planned for the game; new bosses variant battles will be available soon; new Elseworlds scenarios will be added; and three new characters that have not been confirmed will be in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
