Batman: Arkham Origins - 10 Coolest Easter Eggs, Secrets And References Explained

6. The Suicide Squad

By now the story of Warner Bros. Montreal's Suicide Squad game is common knowledge, but with Rocksteady said to be putting their own spin on the project as a Games as a Service title, now's as good a time as any to look back on the easter eggs that first teased the arrival of Task Force X back in 2013.

The Suicide Squad aren't actually hinted at in Arkham Origins until the credits are done rolling. We're treated to a shot of Deathstroke in his cell, when eventually Amanda Waller (CCH Pounder, reprising her role from Justice League) walks up and tells Slade about the Suicide Squad. We know now that Montreal's original pitch for Suicide Squad would've put players in the shoes of Deathstroke, and may have even featured some sort of co-op element, but it was canned midway through production - the first of several pitfalls to affect the studio following Origins' release.

Harley Quinn - who also appears in Origins pre-supervillain transformation - was also said to be a part of the team, but it's harder to tell who would've been in the rest of the lineup. Origins does actually pay reference to one key member of the group though in Captain Boomerang, who's acknowledged in dialogue between henchmen in the game's open world.
