Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League – Does It Take Place in the Arkhamverse

In the world of superhero video games, few franchises have been as successful and captivating as the Arkham series. With the upcoming release of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, fans eagerly anticipate what it will bring to the table, as well as its connection to the beloved Arkhamverse.

This article will explore how Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is connected to the Batman Arkham games.

Is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League a Sequel to Arkham Knight?

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is confirmed to be a part of the Arkhamverse, namely the fifth installment in the popular series of games. The following are the first four entries:

1. Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009)
2. Batman: Arkham City (2011)
3. Batman: Arkham Origins (2013)
4. Batman: Arkham Knight (2015)

This makes the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League a direct sequel to 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight. Whether or not the game’s timeline is set after the conclusion of Arkham Knight is up for debate. However, fans of the Akhamverse can look forward to the expansion of its lore regardless.

Does Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Take Place in the Same Universe as Gotham Knights?

Gotham Knights was released in 2022 and is not set in the Arkhamverse, meaning it has no connection to the upcoming Suicide Squad: KTJL. 

This means that players can fully immerse themselves in each game’s storylines and gameplay without having to play the other.

Is Batman Still Alive In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

A recent trailer from DC’s own YouTube channel shows Batman confronting the Suicide Squad as an antagonist in the game. This confirms that despite Batman’s apparent death in the climax of Batman: Arkham Knight, the Caped Crusader will be making a return in this upcoming game. Batman will be voiced post-humously by his original voice actor Kevin Conroy.

Batman’s return in this game further proves many players’ theory regarding his survival at the end of Arkham Knight. This was after the many indications pointing towards Batman masterminding the Knightfall Protocol at the conclusion of Batman: Arkham Knight to fake his demise and start his superhero persona anew. However, despite plenty of clues, the official Arkham canon hasn’t yet recognized this theory.
