Suicide Group: Kill the Justice League will pit the titular squad against Batman, who will be voiced by none other than the late Kevin Conroy. According to Game Awards 2022 host Geoff Keighley, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be released on May 26 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
Kevin Conroy, a long-time Batman voice actor, died last month at the age of 66. Conroy was best recognized for voicing Batman in Batman: The Animated Series, a role he reprised in Rocksteady Studios’ acclaimed Batman: Arkham games. Conroy’s portrayal as Batman in the Batman: Arkham games were praised, but with Batman: Arkham Knight essentially shutting the book on Batman’s saga, many expected Conroy would play the character for the last time in Rocksteady’s Arkhamverse.
However, in an emotional and surprising statement, it has been confirmed that Conroy will be voicing Batman one last time in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. In the new game, Brainiac has brainwashed Batman and the other members of the Justice League, so Amanda Waller organizes the titular Suicide Squad to wipe them out.
In the new clip, gamers can see that the Suicide Squad members have successfully apprehended The Flash, but it’s unclear how they did it.
In any event, Flash suffers a finger amputation at the hands of Captain Boomerang, although he appears to be too battered to do much about it. Fortunately for The Flash, but sadly for the Suicide Squad, Batman appears at the end of the trailer to fight the squad.
This is the same Batman from previous Batman: Arkham games, but he, like the other Justice League members, is controlled by Brainiac. This means he’s willing to kill, making Batman even more deadly than he was before. Needless to say, the Suicide Squad will have their work cut out for them if they hope to survive. As the teaser concludes, Batman is shown pushing a detonator, implying that fans will have to wait to play the game to find out what happens next.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launches May 26, 2023, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
