Hey, at least it got some kind of ending given the troubled life it’s led.

Yep, the game that came out last year, was either kinda ok with potential to maybe be more than that or a bit crap depending on how much you personally enjoyed what it offered has reached the end of a run that’s reportedly contributed to just some of the many layoffs in the games industry over the last little bit.
As you’d expect, given it’s likely now viewed as a problem child by the same kinds of higher-ups who probably played a role in it not being the kind of thing most players wanted, said ending has left a lot of folks who were still paying attention a bit unsatisfied.
This ending is a two minute-ish long 2D animated comic strip, which sees Harley Quinn basically narrate the whole conclusion to you in her very Harley Quinn voice. So, what’s happened? Well, Batman’s not dead. And as it turns out, all the Suicide Squad did was kill some clones of the Justice League, rather than the actual Justic League. Bats punches the big baddie Braniac. The Suicide Squad’s head bombs get disabled, so they’re no longer a Suicide Squad.
You’ve got to feel for the developers themselves at Rocksteady, because I’d be very surprised if many of those doing the work on the ground actually wanted the game’s story to end like this, or play out as it has once SS:KTJL’s proverbial popularity goose was cooked. While this is the end of updates to it, the game “will remain playable in both online and the recently released offline mode” for the moment.
