10 Biggest WTF Gaming Moments of 2024
2. Batman's Death - Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Even though the game straight up tells you what's going to happen in its title, Batman's brutal demise in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League still touched one hell of a nerve with the fanbase.
A little while after the boss battle against the Dark Knight, a cutscene shows Harley Quinn executing him with a swift gunshot to the head - a moment that sent shockwaves throughout the DC fandom.
Some were simply shocked that Batman died in such unceremonious, unglorious fashion, while others were upset at the very notion of Batman dying at all.
Given that this is the very same Batman from the beloved Arkham games, many simply took umbrage with him being killed off.
And then there's the fact that Kill the Justice League was the final DC game to feature voice work from the late, great Kevin Conroy, and some saw it as disrespectful to his memory for Batman to die in one of Conroy's final outings.
It's certainly a death scene that got people talking for better or worse, and is at least one of the few memorably provocative moments in an otherwise mostly forgettable experience.
