With this weekend’s DC FanDome bringing the confirmation (and first look!) that the rascals of the Suicide Squad are indeed getting their own video game, now comes a fun new nugget of information on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Courtesy of the FanDome trailer for Kill the Justice League, we know that Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark will be a part of the game – and the person providing the vocals for King Shark is none other than WWE superstar Samoa Joe.

From the same Rocksteady Studios who were behind Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Origins, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will reportedly be set in the world established in the Arkham franchise.

There have been rumblings of a Suicide Squad video game being in development for an age now, and it was only in the last few weeks that this game began to be teased by Rocksteady. As seen at DC FanDome, players will get to play solo or co-op as some of Task Force X’s finest have to take down some of the greatest heroes in the history of DC Comics.
