Batman as the Squad's "Justice League insider" works so much better: First off, he's Batman, the guy with a plan to neutralize every single ally he has, just in case, and sharing the plan would explain why the Squad doesn't get obliterated by the various heroes immediately. Secondly, it makes no sense for Brainiac to be able to take over his mind right off the bat, a major part of his character is his mental fortitude, which is already demonstrated in the Arkham universe this is set in. And lastly, he would be such a high priority target for Brainiac that he would be willing to rely upon the Squad to carry out his plans to save the world while he's forced to remain in hiding to avoid total catastrophe if he got caught.

@@JesusChrist-nb1zo that's very polite of you to say, but it would probably need to be a sacrifice switcharoo for two reasons.

My main complaint with the story is that the ending is pessimistic and the actual death part of the justice league fights weren't handled well. The villains killing the heroes were pretty much having a blast, or just doing their job at best, not the most respectful way to handle such a tragic loss (especially since one was KEVIN). Compare this to god of war 2018 (spoiler alert) When Kratos kills Baldur he's actually remorseful about it, as he knows the ramifications and how it will affect the people he is close to. The suicide squad don't care a bit about the justice League, imagine if boomerang had actually felt disappointed after flash's death, or Harley had apologised after shooting batman, or anything like that.

If they wanted the "evil justice league vibe" - they literally could've done something involving the Crime Syndicate (Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Grid, etc.) in Earth 3. Could've played as the counterparts to the villains we know. For those who have no clue what I'm talking about, Earth 3 is the titular good guys-bad guys reversal in that this universe's equivalent to the Justice League and other heroes are evil, with the same going for its equivalents to our villains (Joker=Jokester; Cheetah=Lion-Miss; Gentleman Ghost=Pinkerton Ghost). Heck, it would've been interesting to play the villains of that world - or at least give the option of playing one of the sides in the playthrough

[@user-vg8ox3he1i]

I've been seeing this suggestion all over KZbin and it is so BRILLIANT I can't believe they didn't do it.

[@YaBoiTheGrimReaper]

@@user-vg8ox3he1i I honestly don't know why we haven't gotten content involving the player being the villain of the story, or more content where we get to play as monsters. Like, I was screaming with excitement during the part of Spiderman 2 where we got to play as Venom - and was saddened when I found out it was just for that part. But imagine a game where you get to play you're own symbiote - choose its aesthetic(s), gain abilities, and maybe have a feature where you can change hosts and take over npcs (similar to how in Watchdogs Legion allowed you to enlist anyone to your side, including grandmas and such)

Yeah, not a fan of that particular origin for the Amazonians. I think it would have been much more satisfying to have had the Amazonian wishing to be like Artemis's hunters, and be forever prime age warriors. The cost of that was living on their island. Then, miraculously, Diana is born, and acts as their bridge back into the world’s society, or something like that.

@@jonashartman3059 I like the darkness to it but anything is better, you have this almost paradise civilisation of strong female warriors which just happens to be built on decades worth r*pe murder and discardment of male children

[@CommentPositionInformer]

Literally no piece of info from that panel is correct either. 1) They didn't fix lagging technology. Their technology is shit, and they only get away with it because they have magic, but also because they don't have 1/10th of the problems regular people have, a.k.a diseases, age, wounds, etc. Every little piece of advancement and technology they have comes from the "Magic Sphere" that they didn't even built. Without it, they would be lucky to be able to make a coffee machine. 2) They didn't fix broken democracy. They have a monarchy. A.k.a, one family line rules eternally, the "common folk" have no voice, and I will let you guess what happens if anyone badmouths the queen, or tries a rebellion. 3) Technically they fixed 'toxic masculinity', by simply having no males. But it's funny that Luthor a few lines below says that they have "no cruelty", when we know exactly *what* happens to the males who fall on the island. There is *NO* iteration where whatever happens to them *isn't* cruel. Lex calls them a "golden society", when they *aren't* even self-sufficient. Without males from outside, they don't reproduce. If one of them falls in battle, they can't be replaced. A decline of 1 in 1m million years is still a decline, and eventually Themyscira is going to be extinct solely on these basis.

So the reason they picked WW as the Last Survivor is because they wanted to give her a 'noble sacrifice' moment because 'girlboss'. Think about it like this. Flash's corpse is nearly peed on. Jon is reduced to his boxers. Batman is taunted by the person HE'S TRIED TO HELP SEVERAL TIME BY GOING EASY ON HER. And Superman dies with a whimper. All the male heroes are treated like trash, especially Batman. Harley should have been upset she had to kill Bruce because now that the Joker is gone she understands what Bats was trying to do for her. He should have fought the control, told Harley to kill him. But no, we need the 'rich guy who beats up poor people' (a real dev quote btw) to be the butt of a bad joke. WW is given a heroic death, no one laughs or takes a trophy or does anything messed up to her. Nope, instead they all have a nice little cry over her. Nevermind that in any other circumstance she would have cut them down, unlike the other four members of the League she doesn't have a no kill rule. It's worthless pandering.
