Suicide Squad: Does Batman Live in Killing Justice League?

The reveal of Batman’s continued existence in Suicide Squad Kills the Justice League sparked curiosity, especially in light of the Knightfall Protocol events in Arkham Knight, where Batman seemingly sacrificed himself in a massive explosion.

Arkham Knight director Sefton Hill previously confirmed that Batman/Bruce Wayne is still alive in the Arkham Universe, which might explain his appearance in the new game. However, fans have speculated that there could be a plot twist, such as Batman faking his own death, or the introduction of an alternate version of the character, which adds an extra layer of mystery to the storyline.

The game’s Early Access release has already shown off a shocking scene where Batman is seemingly killed by the Suicide Squad after 15 years in the Arkham Universe. The unexpected event has caused mixed reactions among fans, with some expressing disappointment at how Batman’s death was depicted.
