Other Leaks related to Suicide Squad Game

Though there are many speculations and rumors are there only one of them is interesting, as most of the other Suicide Squad game-related speculations are proved to be true and the Damian Wayne based Batman game as well in the form of Gotham Knights. But there is one more interesting theory out there.

Many sources out there still believe that the Rocksteady Studios and WB are still working on a Superman based game in the Arkhamverse, which is going to feature Superman himself as the protagonist. As there is not much proof of the project but a single screenshot, which is added below.

• According to another leak from 4chan leak, the story of the Suicide Squad game is quite different than what we are expecting.

According to the leak, there are going to be Deadshot, Harley Quinn, El Diablo, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, Cheetah, and Enchantress featured as playable characters.
• From some nonconfirmed speculations: Another theory comes in front where the fearsome look of the Superman’s eye in the trailer justifies the Injustice angle of Justice League, where Justice League becomes the villain for the whole world. As the main story is loosely adapted from the Justice League Doom, so it is being speculated that the story would take some twists and turns where Suicide Squad become would take the name of the Legion of Doom.
