Suicide Squad Easter Egg Teases An Undo For A Contentious Plot Point

Rocksteady has hidden clues hinting at a big return in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

This seems like a clear indicator that Batman will return. Bullets to the head are a temporary problem at best in comic books, and Rocksteady has left several clues in Suicide Squad hinting at how Batman might not be dead after all. Brainiac has demonstrated the ability to clone bodies and transplant superpowers into his soldiers, so the Batman Harley Quinn murdered in cold blood might have been a clone after all.

Even if the original Arkhamverse Batman is dead and buried, Suicide Squad can still pull another incarnation from the multiverse, as each season of the game will explore another parallel dimension in the war against Brainiac and his alternate forms. Datamining has also reportedly revealed who'll be joining the squad next, as after the Joker arrives in March, it's claimed that Mrs Freeze (Nora Fries instead of Victor), Deadshot's daughter Zoe Lawton AKA Lawless, and Deathstroke will be added to the game in future seasons.

The Arkhamverse Batman is against using guns--unless they're strapped to his Batmobile--but there is a Batman who is a fan of firearms, the Grim Knight. Allied with the Batman Who Laughs and his army of evil Batmen in the DC Universe, this Batman embraced lethal force and has no issue using extreme force in his war on crime--something that could make him a perfect fit for the Suicide Squad.

The game is out now for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, but reviews haven't been too kind to Rocksteady's new Arkhamverse title. "Rocksteady's first game in nearly a decade can't shake the superhero-as-a-service genre's ubiquitous feeling that it exists to keep players mindlessly engaged," Mark Delaney wrote in GameSpot's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League review.
