First of all, this whole post is a rant about the game Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, so if you don't want spoilers, please stop reading it now.

Ok, with that out of the way, WTF IS THIS TREND OF KILLING OFF FAN FAVORITES CHARACTERS LIKE THEY ARE NOTHING?
First, we have Joel from TLOU, now Batman, Flash, Superman, etc. I don't get it. Like, normally, only Batman was needed to take down the 4 MC from the game, but somehow even when the JL wasn't holding back, ( Flash said this in the game) they were killed easily.
Don't get me wrong, it's not the fact that they were killed ( I even want some main character to die, mainly Steve from ST, and Shepard from Mass Effect, as it would make sense given the arcs they had throughout their respective media) but the way they do it on the games is so disrespectful, to say the least. Joel, a hardened survivor who managed to outlive 90% of the world population by that point, died because he let his guard down in the middle of a room with a lot of strangers, something he would never do normally, but did anyway because of PLOT. Hell, FLASH WAS PISSED ON by Captain Boomerang in the game, Batman was killed by Harley Quinn with a shot to the head when it was already established his 'helmet' is bulletproof in the other Arkham Games. And no, the whole brainwashed thing doesn't fit here, not even the end where the main villain says he wanted to see what the SQ could do, so he let them come to him. That's just pure bullshit to try and make sense of this ridiculous plot.
If they made this game separated from the Arkham universe, maybe, just MAYBE, it would be acceptable what they did, but no, they had to destroy all of Batman's legacy from that universe. The game has no redeemable qualities, so for those who want to buy it, don't be like me who did it, please don't waste your money.
Another can of worms that I don't really want to open is the fact that the only member of the JL who had an honorable death was Wonder Woman, who is a woman, the rest were disrespected on so many levels that it's ridiculous.
Anyway, I really want to go inside those companies and ask what the hell were they thinking when they made those games? Like, I don't get it, you gave a middle finger to your fans and when they react by not buying your game or supporting your company, you act surprised.
I just wanted to play games to have fun, enjoy the story, and be satisfied when I beat the game. But, for the last few years, the plot of the games was getting worse and worse, and I see myself having to only play multiplayer games, to not get frustrated with games that focus on the plot, because they were getting to a whole new level of trashiness.
RIP Arkham Batman, you will be missed!
