We now have a shocking follow up story on the delay for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Apparently it isn’t even going to be this year, and will be pushed all the way back to 2024.

Jez Corden first reported this delay, and then it was confirmed by Jason Schreier. Jason expressly stated that the reason for the delay was that Warner Bros Games and Rocksteady took notice of the poor reception of the State of Play presentation.
