Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is one of the most anticipated upcoming superhero games, as it puts fans into the shoes of the villains as they take on the greatest hero group in the DC universe. With all the powerhouses that make up the main Justice League lineup, the Suicide Squad will need to figure out ways to take them out by exploiting specific weaknesses. Thanks to this challenge, fans will continue to eagerly await the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

In DC Comics, there are only a handful of people that have been able to decipher the weaknesses of each of the League members, the most notable being Batman when he created the contingency plans to take out the League if they were to turn rogue. So, there is a lot of information from the comics and animated movies that could find its way into the upcoming Suicide Squad game. For the Suicide Squad to take out the most powerful heroes in DC Comics, they will need to attack the weaknesses of each of the League members.

The Flash

The Flash is one of the most formidable heroes in all comics, with his super-speed allowing him to not only break light-speed but also give him the ability to travel through time. He is a confirmed character in the upcoming game. The Flash has two possible weaknesses that the Suicide Squad could utilize to bring him down, the first being ice, which can slow down his rapid metabolism and prevent him from using his speed. Batman has also formulated another plan which requires injecting a substance that will continuously disorient him, causing him to crash into objects at very high speeds. The latter will allow the Squad to move in and easily take out The Flash, while the former ensures that the Fastest Man Alive will not be able to use his powers.

Superman

Superman is also a confirmed character for the game, and his weaknesses are well-known to comic book fans, with the most popular being the glowing green space rock, Kryptonite. However, attaining Kryptonite is no easy feat, and there are other avenues the Suicide Squad could take to defeat the Man of Steel. Another major weakness of Superman is magic, which will affect him greatly as his Kryptonian body has no defenses against magical powers. The last weakness to Superman is the radiation from a Red Star, which will deplete all his yellow star reserves and strip away his powers. These weaknesses have been used against Superman countless times, and with the resources available to Amanda Waller, they can be used in the upcoming Suicide Squad game.

Green Lantern

Another confirmed character coming to the upcoming Suicide Squad game is Green Lantern. He derives his strength from his will and his main weakness is fear. With the Suicide Squad using Arkham as a base of operations, there is a big possibility that Amanda Waller has utilized some other villains housed there to create weapons that could take out the Justice League; one such villain is the Scarecrow. Using his fear toxins, the Suicide Squad could completely stop Green Lantern from using his power ring, making him an easy target for any of the four members to take out.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman is arguably the toughest challenger that the Suicide Squad will have to face since her weaknesses are not clearly defined. In the comics, Batman has claimed that the only weakness of Wonder Woman is her thirst for battle, so he created nanites that, once injected into her, would trap her in a virtual battle against an opponent that is her equal in every way. By doing so, Wonder Woman would never be able to win, and her drive to fight and never surrender attitude, will eventually cause her die of exhaustion. Wonder Woman has already been confirmed to appear in the game as glimpses of her have been seen in the released trailers.

Martian Manhunter

While the Martian Manhunter has not been confirmed in the upcoming Suicide Squad game, he is still one of the most powerful members of the Justice League. Unfortunately for him, his Martian biology makes him weak to a few things, the most notable of which is fire. Batman has noted that introducing a type of magnesium serum or nanite that would force the Manhunter to sweat magnesium would be the best way to eliminate him, since the magnesium will instantly ignite when exposed to air and will not be put out by water.

Aquaman

Aquaman's greatest strengths are his prowess in battle underwater and his ability to summon the creatures of the ocean to his side. Similar to Green Lantern, inducing a chemical or nanite that will lead to the Atlantean King developing a fear of water will strip him of his main powers and make him easier to kill. In the comics, this technique was used by Damian Wayne and Jon Kent who used a variant of the Scarecrow's Fear Toxin to this effect and was able to subdue Aquaman effectively. While the toxin will not last forever, it could provide valuable time for the Suicide Squad to eliminate him.

Batman

Batman has been hinted at during the trailers, but there is no telling whether he will be an antagonist or protagonist in the upcoming game. However, his biggest weakness is also what many, including himself, consider his greatest asset: his humanity. At the end of the day, Batman is a human at peak physical and mental levels, so he is more easily wounded than the other League members, but his mental fortitude can be more challenging to break down. Batman himself has said his greatest weakness is the Justice League, but villains like Bane and The Joker have broken him before, so Amanda Waller will likely have the means to do so.

Even if the Suicide Squad were to utilize all these weaknesses, they will still have a hard time taking out the elite superheroes of DC Comics. With the variety of weaknesses, the best bet for the team would be to attack individual members of the Justice League, rather than taking them all on at once. With Amanda Waller, Gizmo, and maybe even Batman on their side, the Suicide Squad could have the means and abilities to take out the Justice League in the game that is already set up to be a thrilling ride from start to finish.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is expected to release in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
