Plot[ | ]
The game is set in the universe previously established by the Batman: Arkham series, taking place sometime after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight. Amanda Waller (Debra Wilson) creates a task force known as the Suicide Squad, which is composed of Arkham Asylum inmates Harley Quinn (Tara Strong), Captain Boomerang, Deadshot and King Shark (Samoa Joe), for a covert mission in Metropolis. Only when they arrive in the city do they realize the severity of the situation: Brainiac has invaded Earth and has started brainwashing its inhabitants, including the Justice League members Superman, The Flash and Green Lantern, with Wonder Woman as the only apparent member who is not under Brainiac's control. Unable to depend on any hero for help, it is up to the Suicide Squad to save the world by assassinating the Justice League and stopping Brainiac.
