The commercial failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League had a significant impact on the gaming industry. Despite high expectations due to the scale of the project and the renowned studio behind it, the game turned out to be a flop, resulting in substantial financial losses for Warner Bros. What went wrong with this highly anticipated title?
Rocksteady, known for its acclaimed Batman: Arkham series, ventured into uncharted territory. They opted for a live-service format, a move that did not yield the expected results and highlighted the challenges faced in this demanding genre.

In a bit of a surprise, Rocksteady, known for its work on the Batman: Arkham series, has pivoted from providing support to its live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game to helping with the director’s cut of Hogwarts Legacy.
This move has left fans of the studio with mixed feelings, as they wonder what’s next for the developer and if it will be relegated to being a support studio.

Suicide Squad drastically failed to meet expectations.
Suicide Squad was supposed to be the studio’s big return after its success with the Batman games. Fans were super excited to see how it’d handle a game where you play as the villains in the form of the beloved Task Force X, especially since it’s set in the same universe as the Arkham games.

The new Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game has been a disaster since its launch and has already been deemed a complete failure by most of the gaming community. While there was a lot of debate and discussion around why the game turned out the way it did, gaming journalist Jason Schreier released an extensive report that solved all of these questions.
However, despite Schreier’s investigation into the game’s behind-the-scenes trainwreck, some fans still aren’t convinced, blaming Sweet Baby Inc.’s involvement instead.

Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League released back in January 2024. While many expected it to follow the success of Rocksteady’s previous titles, the game promptly flopped, failing to secure a sizable player base or even reviews. The game was written off as soon as it was released, despite Warner Bros.’s best attempts to promote the game worldwide.
There’s no doubt that Suicide: Squad Kills the Justice League has effectively become the laughingstock of 2024. The game’s release showcased what’s wrong with the floundering Aaa game development. However, new information has come to light about the game’s questionable development strategy that forced the developers to make even Captain Boomerang wield a gun!

In video game development, or any creative piece of media, be it a movie, TV show, or book, there are always ideas that get left out of the final product. In the video game industry, there is a website known as The Cutting Room Floor which houses all the left-out ideas and content that players find in games that have already been released.
Rocksteady Studios, creators of the highly acclaimed Batman: Arkham games, decided in the development of Arkham City, to not leave any idea on the cutting roof floor. And it might’ve been the best decision they made because Arkham City is arguably the most complete game in gaming history.

There have effectively been innumerable versions of Batman, both in the comics and in live-action and TV series depictions. While the character in itself has been utterly dark in quite a few of them, arguably none came closer to Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder’s version of the caped crusader, seen in the likes of Batman vs Superman, Justice League, and 2017’s Suicide Squad.
Ben Affleck’s Batman in Justice League (2017) | DC Studios
Of course, while Affleck’s violent and murder-loving iteration of Batman falls in line with the comics, it is also comprehensively different from the kind of Batman depictions that live-actions have traditionally seen. That appears to be down to Zack Snyder’s vision, as he explained in an interview how he sees the character of Bruce Wayne, and how his childhood trauma affects him as an adult.
Zack Snyder believes Bruce Wayne/Batman f**ks to forget!

When it was first announced that a Wonder Woman game was in the works, the gaming community was divided. The Arkham series is one of the very few that can do justice to a superhero title, with others such as Avengers, Midnight Suns, and Suicide Squad completely missing the mark.

Marvel had a rough year in 2023. Many of its properties underperformed, and they lost their big villain due to Jonathan Majors being fired. Looking forward to their upcoming slate, comic fans have been excited about some of the studio’s projects over the next few years. Will these films help Marvel regain control? The upcoming Thunderbolts film has been one that fanboys have been hoping to see since the MCU started. With some recent news about the property coming up, it seems like the right time to break down what we know about the production.
Who Are The Thunderbolts?
The team first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1997 in an issue of The Incredible Hulk. They seemed to be a new group of superheroes that had arrived on the scene and gained acclaim very quickly. The reader was informed that the group was actually a group of supervillains led by Baron Zemo.

Harley Quinn has an odd history. The character has become one of the most recognizable aspects of Batman’s mythos but did not originate from the comics. Rarely do characters that don’t exist in the source material get the kind of love that Harley Quinn did, and it seemed to have been the case for her initially as well.

(Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.)
"2020 at the box office will be known as the 'year of the asterisk,' with virtually every known measure and metric for box office performance being completely rethought and recalibrated." These were the words of Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian speaking to CNN in October 2020. At that time, the industry was contending with a months-long, global shutdown, with movie theaters on life support as the pandemic raged on. Yes, every title released in 2020 will always come with an asterisk but even with that, one movie had to come out on top during Hollywood's lost year. That movie was "Bad Boys for Life."
Action director extraordinaire Michael Bay helmed 1995's "Bad Boys" and 2003's "Bad Boys II," with the first film ranking...

The course of the DC Universe changed forever following the James Gunn and Peter Safran takeover. The duo of new co-chairs made a slew of decisions about existing characters and storylines that altered the canon and showed fan-favorite stars such as Henry Cavill, the exit door. However, the Guardians of the Galaxy director’s rise to the top can largely be attributed to his stint as the visionary of 2021’s The Suicide Squad.

Soon after, he returned to helm the Peacemaker series, starring John Cena and once again took it high up in critical acclaim. The rising popularity of the character, thanks to the wrestler-actor’s brilliant performances, paved the way for a comeback in the upcoming The Suicide Squad Isekai anime series. Featuring prominently in its trailers, the botched moral equivalent of Marvel’s Captain America has undergone a complete makeover, unleashing a pure maniacal outlook.

Bad sequels are far from a rarity, as there have been numerous instances where a sequel fails to recapture the original’s spirit, and Wonder Woman 1984 is no exception. Despite dropping the ball hard with the main conflict between Batman and Superman, Dawn of Justice did succeed in doing Diana Prince’s introduction to the Dceu justice.
Moreover, this was followed by arguably the best film in the Dceu, Wonder Woman, which made waves upon its release, making Gal Gadot one of the biggest names in the business. Unfortunately, the sequel failed to live up to its universally acclaimed predecessor, and its weak antagonist isn’t the lone aspect that contributed to it.

Martin Scorsese is one of the few industry vets who has been around for several decades hitting the audience with brilliant movies and sweeping all the prestigious awards, so his praise is nothing but a real golden ticket to overall success in Hollywood.
Though the proclaimed filmmaker is mostly known for his numerous collaborations with the modern cinema’s giants like Robert De Niro or Leonardo DiCaprio, there’s yet another big figure who actually owes her skyrocketed career to Scorsese’s high-rated big hit.
Ironically, her debut fierce improvisation is what mesmerizes Scorsese to this day.
In one of his interviews a few days ago, Scorsese revealed that he’d been left in shock by Margot Robbie’s improvised performance for The Wolf of Wall Street’s audition. In the movie released back in 2013, Robbie, at that time a very young, yet aspiring actress, starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio as his on-screen wife Naomi Lapaglia,...

There’s no doubt that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League once was an interesting project by Rocksteady. But, since its launch back in February, the game has quickly become infamous as one of the first big disappointments of the year. Right from the controversial decision to even make the game a single-player live service title to horrendous character choices, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has left a fork for Rocksteady as a developer.
Fans have been desperate for a game like Batman: Arkham Knight for years. Many believed that if Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice followed the same formula as the Batman title, it would’ve gone down in gaming history as one of the best. However, there’s still a chance for Rocksteady to make a comeback by finally using the Ninja Turtles IP combined with its experience with Arkham Knight.

James Gunn has plans to bring the most ruthless assassin in the DC comics into his film universe. Gunn recently gave a hint that Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke will be a part of the Dcu. The supervillain is an archenemy of the Teen Titans and has also gone face-to-face with Batman and the entire Justice League. Gunn recently announced a Teen Titans project, which makes it even more convenient for a major Deathstroke appearance.

To say Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was a disappointment would be an understatement. Many believe that Rocksteady Studios, the minds behind the highly regarded Arkham series, seriously dropped the ball when working on the all-villains-led new title.
When the game was first revealed, people were understandably excited; not many studios had worked with the cantankerous crew before, and the studio had good standing in the community. However, the game was pretty much panned from launch, and recent sales numbers show it’s not going to be able to bounce back.

It looks as though director Todd Phillips has officially finished Joker: Folie a Deux, with the MPAA officially granting it an R-rating for “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity.” On the latter, it looks like Joker is about to show us the full monty, doesn’t it? At any rate, the R-rating isn’t a surprise, as that’s what the first film got, and I imagine a PG-13 sequel would have landed with a thud, as fans expect this to be as hardcore and uncompromising as the original.
Here’s the poster:

The first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux debuted during CinemaCon last month, giving us an intriguing glimpse of some footage from Todd Phillips' DC "Elseworlds" sequel.
In what would seem to be a major change to the usual character dynamic, the teaser revealed that Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) meets Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga) as a fellow patient(?) in Arkham Asylum, and it looks like she'll be the one asserting influence over him.
While speaking to Access Hollywood, Gaga teased her new interpretation of the popular Batman villain, who has generally been portrayed as more of an anti-hero in recent years.
“You know, my version of Harley is mine and it’s very authentic to this movie and these characters,” said the Oscar and Grammy Award winner. “I’ve never done anything like I’ve done in this movie before, so it’s all going to be completely brand new and really fun.

Lady Gaga has been born a star but now, she’s transforming into DC comic book character Harley Quinn for “Joker: Folie à Deux.”
The Oscar and Grammy winner teased her upcoming role alongside fellow Academy Award winner Joaquin Phoenix in the sequel to 2019 Batman prequel “Joker.” As Phoenix reprises his titular role as Arthur Fleck Aka the Joker, Gaga will play Harley from the “Batman the Animated Series” origins, as a bit different from Margot Robbie’s version of the character.
“You know my version of Harley is mine and it’s very authentic to this movie and these characters,” Gaga told Access Hollywood. “I’ve never done anything like I’ve done in this movie before, so it’s all going to be completely brand new and really fun.”
Margot Robbie brought Harley to life first in “Suicide Squad,” followed by spinoff “Birds of Prey” and quasi-reboot “The Suicide Squad.
