When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.

As someone on Twitter pointed out, if you look closely at the eyes of the Superman in that image you can see cracks around the skin.

Either Superman is getting some Kryptonian crows feet, or that’s a Bizzaro.

Also seeing this game reminds me that they planted the seed for this game in a post credit sequence for Arkham Origins of all places.

Was coming here to post this theory. Dunno though, people REALLY seemed to want a Arkham style Superman game, the advertising having it be Suicide Squad just comes across like "HAHA, GOTCHA!" I hope it's good, but unless James Gunn's movie WOWs me I've never really cared about them.

I said this in some thread. As far as I'm concerned he is to King Shark what Hamill is to the Joker. Go back and dub him into the Flash episodes.

It's being made by Rocksteady who have never acknowledged that game even exists, yet alone that it's something they consider canon. I don't think you can assume anything based on this game from Origins.

Rocksteady heard the people excited to play as Superman and the Flash and Wonder Woman and NOW you can play as:

Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and El Diablo.

This game wasn't really on my radar, but if I can play as King Shark then I'm into it.

Especially if he's characterised like and looks like he is and does in the Harley Quinn cartoon.

Looks like some cold fog coming from his eyes too.

The government making a Bizarro, and using the Suicide Squad to clean it up sounds like something that probably happened already.

The leaked description is that Waller sends the Suicide Squad after the Justice League because they don't like what she's doing.

It's possible it's wrong, but people are thinking the leaks are legit.

A heist of the Fortress of Solitude could work, with the rest of the levels involving getting into places that have the tools needed for the heist

If the Team leaks are correct, then Enchantress, Cheetah and King Shark can sort of threaten him. Shark is a powerful demigod who was originally a Superboy villain, Cheetah's claws and fangs can slice through any material (In comics she was able to slice Superman's skin as if he were a normal human.) And Superman has no defence against Enchantresses magic.

Honestly of the list the one it seems hardest to justify actually hurting Superman is Harley Quinn.

Deadshot is a super assassin and if he could get high-powered weapons or kryptonite or something he'd probably be a serious threat.
Cheetah is a Wonder Woman villain and able to keep up with her which means she is a tremendous threat.
El Diablo, King Shark and Enchantress all have magic to some degree or another.
Captain Boomerang literally takes on a guy so fast he breaks reality on a regular basis and sometimes comes out ahead + trick boomerangs or something.

It's how her species communicates

I'd be ok with Suicide Squad vs Justice League and you end the game like the Darth Vader fight at the end of Fallen Order only it's against a pissed off Superman

The Rebirth Cheetah's powers are magical in nature now, so Superman would be vulnerable to her in general.

They've got a new trailer for the GI Joe game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1j4lhpCmgo&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0JZkexXzbCR3Cd5xxdcUkLL7uURR3blBARZo55WAm7Xg29Zzw-DISt1Jc

Looks like it could maybe be an okay budget game for couch co-op, assuming we ever get to have friends sit on our couch again.

Right? I was onboard with 'GI Joe but leaning into the lunacy' but then they gave us one of the most boring open worlds possible and enough reused maps to make Dragon Age II look like the Witcher 3. I wonder if that was the goal or something behind the scenes kneecapped them.

It was clearly early on part of the goal of AoM was to break out of their semi-niche audience and appeal to a wider age range that had previously been put off by all the dildos and memes, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but... man, once they dropped the dildos and memes they just had nothing.

I was super pumped for Agents of Mayhem and it would have been a great game if they had finished it instead of making GBS threads out a half completed game. I actually pre-ordered it because of how much I liked Saint's Row 4. Between that and Darksiders 3 I don't pre order anymore

It's vaguely related to it (one of the endings of Gat out of Hell has him becoming a cop in a world rebuilt by God, and that's this universe) but most references are just hints and such. I think it was meant to launch a new franchise and boy howdy did they fail. RIP Deep Silver.

It does feel like 'Stilwater AU.' Pierce is shown to be effective when he's not surrounded by people who go 'lol whatever' when he tries to come up with a plan and was running the original three gangs from the first game* when the Cobra analogue whose name I forget tried to take over.

*Vice Kings, Los Carnales and the West Side Rollerz, because some things you can't forget no matter how hard you try.

Agents of Mayhem really seemed like a game where they spent a lot of time and money on pre-production but when it was time to actually make the game they ran out of cash and just had to throw something together. The game is just chockablock full of repeated content with very few unique missions.

It also just feels bad to play. The saints row games never had the tightest shooting or movement but the ridiculousness covered a lot of that up.

I've always thought it was a passion project for someone. They had the character ideas and pitched it successfully. I really do like the idea of it but it was just not fleshed out enough. Plus it really lacked in multiplayer content.
