The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League disaster has finally come to an end for Rocksteady Studios, as its last main season of content deploys onto PS5, accessible for free for PS Plus Essential members. However, as it says goodbye to the title, it's got one final trick up its sleeve: a big story retcon. We doubt most of you care about Suicide Squad spoilers at this point, but you'll find a significant twist in the video embedded above as well as in the text below. In actual fact, the thumbnail of the video has already spoilt it. Sorry!

In one final twist at the end of Episode 8, it's revealed that Batman is actually still alive in the Suicide Squad universe. Apparently, it was Batman's plan all along for Brainiac to create clones of the Justice League, which are who you actually fought in the game. On top of that, the final story beat is delivered in comic book fashion with static images on screen rather than a proper cutscene.

This is how all of the introductory episode cutscenes have been presented for the past year in any content delivered after launch, so it's no surprise this approach has continued. However, it would have been nice to see proper motion attached to probably the biggest twist of the entire game. The cutscene does at least end with a tribute to the sadly deceased Kevin Conroy, who played the voice of Batman for over three decades.

Now that Suicide Squad is done for Rocksteady Studios, fans will likely hope it returns to making a proper single player Batman: Arkham entry. First, though, at least some of its team is reported to be working on a Definitive Edition of Hogwarts Legacy. What do you make of this final twist? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
