History Fridge / SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague

* This game states that the Justice League wasn't formed until after the events of ''Arkham Knight''. Fair enough, but on the previous games we had easter eggs referencing ComicBook/{{Superman}}, ComicBook/TheFlash, ComicBook/GreenLantern (Both Jordan and Stewart), ComicBook/{{Firestorm}}, Comicbook/MartianManhunter, [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Hawkman and Hawkgirl]], ComicBook/BlackCanary, ComicBook/GreenArrow, Comicbook/SwampThing, ComicBook/{{Deadman}}, ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}, [[WesternAnimation/SuperFriends el Dorado]] or ComicBook/TheSpectre just to name a few, and fans pointed out it seemed unlikely that so many heroes would have been active at the same time without teaming up. Plus, villains like the Injustice Gang and Prometheus are referenced, who usually require the entire League to take down. Complicating it further, the Arkhamverse was lauded for [[{{Reconstruction}} reconstructing]] SupermanStaysOutOfGotham (Since each game takes place in less than a night, Batman has no time to ask for help) so retconning the League as having never existed seems rather contradictory to the prior games' worldbuilding.

** The game's decision to {{Retcon}} the previous Deadshot as being an imposter, as opposed to simply retconning him to [[RaceLift have always been black]], makes exceedingly little sense the more you think about it. Not only would this mean ''Batman'' [[FailedASpotCheck would've had to have fallen]] for the fake "Floyd Lawton", even though he [[RefugeInAudacity doesn't even have the same skin color as the original]], but also means the imposter and the real Deadshot both have a daughter named Zoe and the same set of ImprobableAimingSkills. In fact, because the player is in-control of Deadshot's aim this time, it ends up coming across like the "imposter" is actually a ''better sniper'' than the real Lawton. [[spoiler: The in-game audio logs revealing the original Arkham Deadshot is from Earth-2 doesn't completely fix the problem, as it still raises the question of how Earth-2 Deadshot has been able to run around in a foreign universe for ''over a decade'' without having any issues himself or anyone else noticing.]]

** It also helps explain why the Squad goes after one leaguer at a time instead of trying to take them all in at the same time. Along with having the powers in numbers where one leaguer one ups their counterpart the other three can fill in that niche whether it be raw power, intellect, or skill.

* It’s probably for the best that [[spoiler: the Squad actually did suceeed in killing the mind controlled memembers of the justice League because it’s very likely that the Leaguers especially Batman would not be able to live with themselves after finding out what they did (which encompassed killing millions of innocent people)]]

** Hell you could arguably say Amanda Waller picked them specifically for this as almost each member has a previous history with their respective leaguer as well as experience with how they fight and backed up by A.R.G.U.S. Tech and support from Waller stand a better of actually succeeding compared to when they fought each of them on their own.
