Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League shares more similarities with games like Sunset Overdrivethan it does with Gotham Knights, so it will be interesting to see how the reception to Gotham Knights affects the perception fans presently have of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Instead, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the latest in a long line of multiplayer, four-player PvE shooters, but as a superhero game it is relatively authentic and refreshing. But while these games are comparable to one another and others in relevant genres, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is neither a hack-and-slash nor a rhythmic beat-’em-up. Gotham Knights is an action-RPG with action-adventure mechanics not unlike Batman: Arkham, but fans will notice Gotham Knights’ lack of a combo counter and a parry mechanic distinctively differentiate the two. Therefore, Gotham Knights is an appetizer that can prepare fans for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s main course. Just in case you thought the CW was done making shows based on DC characters, the network unveils a first look at their newest show, Gotham Knights focused on Gotham. Instead, both games feature new slates of playable characters in either single-player or co-op, where all members of Gotham Knights’ Bat Family are playable and all members of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Task Force X are playable.

Upon announcement of both games, fans were understandably alarmed to learn that Batman would not be a playable protagonist in either. WB Games Montreal is developing Gotham Knights, while Rocksteady is developing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It only makes sense, then, that the two developers who would eventually produce the next two AAA DC titles are WB Games Montreal and Rocksteady, both of whom were responsible for delivering the Batman: Arkham series and its related content.

Gotham Knights also isn't considered a Batwoman spinoff show, so we shouldn't expect many connections to the larger Arrowverse.In the wake of DC-related gaming franchises since Batman: Arkham Knight in 2015, fans have been left without any AAA DC games to look forward to besides titles related to LEGO and Telltale’s episodic Batman series. Audiences should keep in mind that this show is not connected to the upcoming video game that shares the same name, although both properties have many Bat-Family plot similarities. With principal photography beginning so soon, casting news for the show should be right around the corner, along with other plot details. While the image is not much to go off of, and there is no word if the Gotham Knights print is the official series logo, it is exciting to know that we are only two months away from the pilot shoot date. Under the show's title are the DC logo and the confirmation that principal photography on the series will be beginning in April 2022. Cannon simply posted an image of the Gotham City skyline in the daytime with the words "Gotham Knights" looming over the city. Hot off the news of the show getting a Pilot order from the network, executive producer of the series Danny Cannon took to Instagram to announce that production will start in April. From solving mysteries that connect the darkest chapters in the city’s history to defeating. It is now up to the Batman Family Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin to protect Gotham, bring hope to its citizens, discipline to its cops, and fear to its criminals. Gotham Knights is one of the many DC shows currently in development over at The CW. A new expansive, criminal underworld has swept the streets of Gotham City.
