Trailer Revealed On August 22, 2020, as part of the DC Fandome, Rocksteady premiered the first trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Before confirming the game's location as Metropolis, it opens with a look at what appears to be an observer of Brainiac's lair. Looking down we find the reveal of Harley Quinn, followed by her fellow Task Force X members: Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark.
Suicide Squad instigator Amanda Waller talks to Quinn via com and tells him to make his way to the Metropolis Grand Hotel because the "alpha target" is now out in the open and needs to be attached. After a montage where the group takes on a horde of Brainiac's army - Outkast's BOB - bombs Baghdad - they are reunited on a rooftop. Quinn then tries to remember who they should be looking for, until suddenly a helicopter is interrupted by explosives.
