10 Worst Things Warner Bros. Games Have EVER Done

10. Batman's Death In Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has had a rough ride from inception through to release and, well, as far beyond as fans have been willing to go with it.

The game throws together modern favourite Squad members Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark and Captain Boomerang, as they are sent out into the world (or, more accurately, worlds) to try and stop Braniac, who is manipulating the world's greatest heroes via brainwashing and mind control. Most critics slaughtered the game from the off, and fans weren't far behind, citing repetitive gameplay, poor mechanics and several story beats that made everyone a little uncomfortable - particularly as it was the first entry in the Batman: Arkham franchise for almost a decade.

The worst of all of these though was Warner giving the go-ahead to light up the big guy. That's right, true to the vague promise of the title, the Suicide Squad do in fact kill Batman, on a street bench, of all places! In this game, of all games!

Given the game was designed to be a spin-off of the Batman: Arkham series, this is about as disrespectful as it gets. The fact that it was the late, great Kevin Conroy's penultimate performance as the Dark Knight made it all the more unfortunate, with not even the post-story reveal that Batman had in fact survived (as had the other Leaguers, bar Wonder Woman) doing anything to redeem Kill the Justice League's sorry reputation.
