Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League features a compelling group of playable characters. Here are all the base characters in the game, and future additions set to arrive in the game’s DLC content.

Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League gives fans the chance to step into the shoes of the charming villain supergroup, and although they’ve previously been heavily featured in films and comic books, this marks the first time fans can play as them in a video game.

Before you jump into Metropolis, however, you may want to know exactly who you can play as in Kill the Justice League. Whether you’re playing with friends in co-op or you’ve got the AI supporting you in the open world, you’re bound to prefer to use some fighters over others.

So, here are all the current and future playable characters in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Every playable character in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Here is a list of every playable villain in the game, from the clown princess of crime, to… well, a shark. 

Harley Quinn

Harley Quinn is almost undoubtedly the most famous member of the Suicide Squad, and that’s true for Rocksteady’s title. This is the same version of Harley from the Batman: Arkham games, who’ll be making quite the turn of trying to save the world, rather than being worried about getting revenge on Batman. 

King Shark

King Shark is making his debut in a game from this universe. A version of King Shark appeared in the canon Assault on Arkham, but he also died in that version. It’s believed that the one we see in the game is his son as established in the comics but the continuity is a little fuzzy. 

King Shark is said to be surprisingly intelligent for a sharkman, but he seems to be quite naive and gullible too. 

Deadshot

Suicide Squad The Flash

Deadshot is known as an exceptionally effective assassin in the Arkham universe. He’s definitely the most straight-faced and serious member of the crew, but that also makes him a very effective killer. He has a specific beef with Green Lantern here which will be a tough foe to beat, but as everyone says about him – he never misses.

Captain Boomerang

Captain Boomerang is one of the most confrontational and crass members of the Suicide Squad. The Australian is foul-mouthed, drinks a lot, and is always looking for a fight. That’s why it’s a bit sad for him that he’s been defeated and imprisoned by The Flash, many, many times. That said, it gives him plenty of reasons to finally best his nemesis

Upcoming characters in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Here are all the upcoming characters coming to the Squad in the future as DLC, with multiple already planned to come in future seasons.

Joker 

Joker in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

This is a very interesting addition to the Suicide Squad, especially in the Arkhamverse. The Joker’s story in this continuity has been well and truly told, and Rocksteady isn’t bringing Mark Hamil’s iconic version back. 

Instead, this is a new version of the Joker made possible by the use of the multiverse. This Elsewhere version is said to be a little more unsure of himself, but he’s also more team-orientated as he was in the Suicide Squad back in his universe. The Joker will be available when Season 1 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League kicks off on March 28, 2024.
