10 Weird Video Game Facts That Became Canon

Multiverses are a slippery slope. On one hand, they allow for interesting retellings of well-established stories, on the other, they can take away from the gravity of things, as there's always another alternate world to go to should something go wrong.

However, when it comes to the controversy of Suicide Squad: To Kill the Justice League, it wasn't actually that they made multiverses canonical in the Arkhamverse—it's actually that they ignored this decision to make something far, far worse canonical too.

The single greatest outrage generated by the game wasn't Rocksteady's decision to make it a live service title, but rather that despite the easy decision to make all the deaths of the beloved superheroes a part of an alternate universe, they opted to make the events of the game canon to their Arkhamverse series.

This means that all the incredible, odds-defying things you did in the Batman Arkham games don't matter, as ultimately Bruce dies brainwashed on a bench and the majority of the world is destroyed by Brainac's alien forces.

Again, the writers have already introduced the concept of alternate universes, so the fact they went out of their way to make Suicide Squad canon to the Arkhamverse feels like a deliberate slap to their fanbase's collective face!
