Summary
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s ending has revealed that every dead hero was actually just a clone all along.
- In the final cutscene, which is a 2D motion comic, Harley Quinn explains the real Justice League was actually hiding, waiting to strike at the right time.
- Harley Quinn and the gang then get their collars removed and head off to explore the Elseworld, so it’s happily ever after for everyone, apart from the presumably dead Wonder Woman.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been an absolute failure for developer Rocksteady and Warner Bros, and that’s probably the nicest way you could put it. It launched to almost zero goodwill, was reviewed pretty poorly, barely had any support despite being a live service game, and pretty much every update after the game launched was panned.
Spoilers for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League are coming up, but I doubt any of you reading actually care at this point.
It also managed to upset quite a lot of hardcore DC fans, who felt that the game’s iconic superheroes weren’t given the sendoffs that they deserved. Batman’s death in particular managed to generate a lot of ire, especially after news of his death in the game leaked before it had even been released. The full game was then released, Batman got popped in the dome by Harley Quinn, and that rage once again bubbled to the surface.
Suicide Squad’s Ending Confirms The Justice League Were Just Clones
However, it seems as though all that anger was pretty much pointless, as in the final update to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it has been confirmed that every dead hero was actually just a clone. The game’s final “cutscene” was shared online by Twitter user SynthPotato, which was a 2D motion comic narrated by Harley Quinn, presumably due to budget restraints.
In this cutscene, Harley Quinn reveals that the Justice League was actually watching from the shadows the entire time, allowed Braniac to clone the Justice League and wreak havoc with them, and waited for the best opportunity to strike down Braniac for good. If that makes very little sense to you, you’re not the only one.

It’s then explained that Harley Quinn and the squad managed to pop their bomb collars off, and they then started traveling across the Elseworld on a new adventure, leaving the Justice League to sort out all that Braniac multiverse mess. It’s an ending that is getting relentlessly mocked online, mostly down to the entire thing being a retcon, meaning the events of the whole game didn’t even matter.
It’s also caused a lot of confusion too, as while it’s set up to be a happy ending for everyone involved, there’s no mention of Wonder Woman. You may recall that she was actually killed by the evil clone Superman, thus not actually a clone herself, so who knows what’s going on there. Either way, it’s a pretty disastrous ending to a game that’s been a disaster all round for Warner Bros. I guess it’s pretty fitting in that regard.
An open-world action-adventure from Arkham creators Rocksteady, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League puts you in the roles of the antihero squad. You must take on the aforementioned Justice League, either in solo play or online co-op.
