Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League features an attention-grabbing title, but in order to live up to it a member of Task Force X will have to kill a member of the team — possibly Superman. While recent trailers have indicated that Brainiac is the true villain of Suicide Squad, the game's title alludes to Task Force X's battle against the Justice League being the primary focus of the game. Many versions of Brainiac have shown the character having the ability to take control of the minds of other organic beings, which has likely happened to several members of the Justice League in Rocksteady's latest Batman: Arkham entry. This allows for members of the Justice League to appear as antagonists in the game but can be defeated without being killed by severing Brainiac's mind control.
There is a good chance that the game will utilize this in order to keep high-profile members of the Justice League in play, especially considering that Suicide Squad is connected to Batman: Arkham. If Rocksteady has any intentions of creating future games that star major members of the Justice League, it will likely want to ensure that they are still alive. While these heroes could always be brought back to life in an alternate universe, Rocksteady's decision to set Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the same universe as the Batman: Arkham games shows that the studio is dedicated to expanding its shared universe and telling more stories within it. In that way, it is understandable if Rocksteady is hesitant to kill off any major members of the Justice League, hoping to eventually expand upon these characters and their rich comics history.
