I’d have to assume it’s because the plot demanded it.
The infinite power of the writers
Edit: removed woke, as it's a controversial term
Who fucking cares if they "woke" they fucked up either way
"LOOK AT YOU! LOOK AT THE SIGMAS YOU'VE BECOME! LOOK AT HOW L RIZZ YOU ARE, HOW SKIBIDI TOILET YOU ARE, YOU ARE WOKE AMONG SUSSY SOYJAKS!" 😭😭😭
That's literally how you and people who unironically use "woke" as an insult sound. 💀💀💀💀
Harley Quinn, the character who was taken down by Batman in a single move in all the games she appeared in.
Deadshot, or a version of Deadshot specifically stated to be worse than the one we fought in Arkham City, who was taken down in a single move by Batman.
King Shark, who canonically died in Assault on Arkham.
Each of the characters who previously appeared in an Arkham product were wrecked by Batman. Now, Batman’s using Scarewcrow’s fear gas, which we directly saw the effects of in Knight. So not only is he incredibly powerful and physically competent, but he’s willing to kill and is using chemical warfare. And they beat Batman by shooting at him. The same Batman who’s faced armed thugs and armed supervillains on many, many occasions.
This is some really bad plot armor.
They beat the Flash by shooting him.
I can see them managing to take out Batman, not like how the game did it, but through better planning by a mastermind they could potentially pull it off.
The flash ? No , there's no way they survive for a single second against a flash that's willing to kill.
The same Batman who literally has a bullet-proof, damn near impenetrable suit of armor in Knight lol
I don't think people would've been as pissed if this wasn't Arkham Batman. A Batman who not only means a lot to fans, but we've seen what he's capable of. Arkham Batman doesn't fuck around. And they're telling us Harley Quinn is capable of taking him out?
Nah
Yeah but this time they had Captain Boomerang.
Assault on arkham isn't cannon anymore I think.
I'm considering it to be cannon far, far more than this trainwreck of a game
Well.. it's not. And unfortunately this is. Gotta admit tho, the models in this game are pretty nice.
We choose what we will believe
Plot armour
My favorite part was when Batman took down most of these morons in a single night, but somehow Harley Quinn gets the best of him.
You know, the one that couldn't find her way out of a straight hallway if they had bright neon signs lighting the way. But she beats Batman.
She beats Arkham Batman lol.
These losers are what Batman would use as a warm-up before the real threat pops up. The fact that they could take down Batman, let alone the entire Justice League is absurd.
I also hate how everyone trashed Gotham Knights, but that game treated its Batman far more respectfully than this wet turd.
Most noticable any annoying plot armor in a while. If they atleast would have made the deaths epic it would maybe be accetable.
I get that the whole point of the Suicide Squad is that they're underdogs, but the game gives no good reason for them being able to defeat any member of the Justice League. Oh right they got magic bullets. Okay makes sense
When this game came out
personal theory, long shot, but if they really are clones, you'd assume they'd intentionally be "weaker" than their actual selves? It's kinda like those clone type enemies from other games
Assuming the League all got weakend by Braniac's control, still it is some seriously heavy plot armour
Same way Deadpool killed the marvel universe basically
I’m sorry to disappoint everyone, but I tried the game on the 3 hour trial, i actually didn’t hate it😔
Wait till you get to your 4th hour
as someone who's played most of the whole thing, the start of the game is the best part. it gets incredibly bad once you actually start killing the justice league.
Killing the Justice League was my favourite part. It only started to get stale for me during the endgame/Episode 1
The same way Batman routinely punches way above his weight in the comics, movies, games
They had like really good gear scores
Let's say we have to have the same plot but with different villains to play as. Who do you think would fit better for this?
Reverse flash, Owlman, Darkseid, and Sinestro
Maybe not darkseid. Whoever the opposite of superman is
Rocksteady gives us shit like this, and the internet wonders why We're insane
I wanted to play as the Justice League, not kill them.
Plot armor.
Batman can easily just see the blue sparks above their heads and counter.
I understand they were using gold kryptonite so that makes sense if they were able to kill superman with it, it stops his powers entirely. But still.
The flash could've and SHOULDVE easily just snapped all of their necks in the blink of an eye.
Green lantern can literally make defense constructs that protect him from bullets. (However this was dumb writing for him to begin with. It should've been aquaman. As the ring doesn't allow you to kill.) The moment he went in to kill someone, the ring should've not allowed him and if he pushed through it should've flown off. Same thing with when he died. King shark shouldn't have been able to just... put it on. The ring flies off to find a new host immediately after death. You can't choose yourself. So just overall they didn't study up on GL.
But yeah there's many instances where they should have lost. But yknow... plot armor and such.
I am to believe that this only happens because in their heart, justice league wishes to die so that they dont' cause any further harm.
But then there are outliers like flash and wonderwoman... who couldn't do anything at all.
Why the fuck did they make King Shark so hot?
Because writers wanted them to
Did you say bum?
It’s almost as if this game doesn’t understand what makes the Suicide Squad appealing.
Yes
Yes. Yes they should
Their gun had higher number, DUH
Same way Batman can beat the Justice League
