Rocksteady Entertainment revealed a new collection of character posters for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, providing better looks at the game's main characters.Each poster features a member of the titular Suicide Squad staring intimidatingly down at the camera. King Shark, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang and Deadshot are all present, each one posing with their weapon of choice. While King Shark's machete and Deadshot's rifle are menacing in their general size, Harley's revolver sports a fun detail. Scratched into the barrel of the gun are the words, "Who's laughing now?" suggesting that the chaotic anti-hero has had a falling out with The Joker. It's currently unknown whether Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is framing the pair as a separated couple or whether it will feature an original take on the toxic relationship. Each of the images was posted by a different developer at Rocksteady Entertainment.
As for other significant details, it's also notable that Harley Quinn sports a wired-up cricket bat rather than a baseball bat. It's unknown how she came to use the altered weapon, but it's possible that it was given to her by Australian teammate Captain Boomerang. King Shark is seen brandishing his gigantic machete yet a recent clip of the game sees the man-eating villain blasting enemies away with a minigun. It's likely characters will be able to swap between ranged and melee weapons in combat.
The individual character posters seem to be extensions of the recently revealed key art of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. That singular piece of art featured the faces of the Squad looking down at the camera, seemingly paying homage to the first issue of The Boys or N.W.A's debut studio album Straight Outta Compton.
Despite its announcement at DC FanDome 2020, little is known about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The cinematic trailer confirms that the Squad will need to eliminate a brain-washed Justice League following an invasion by Brainiac. Rocksteady's latest project will feature the vocal talents of Tara Strong as Harley Quinn and professional wrestler Samoa Joe as King Shark.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice is expected to launch in 2022 and will be playable on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. More of the game will be revealed at DC FanDome 2021.
