Rocksteady reportedly begins a round of layoffs after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's shortcomings, slashes its QA team's numbers in half

Suicide Squad - Evil Superman.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League didn't, by most metrics, do what it was supposed to. On paper, it was meant to spin up Rocksteady's pedigree of Batman games into a multiversal live service, aiming for a piece of the pie that games like Fortnite have been scarfing down for years.

In practice, it fell short of expectations, lost Warner Bros Entertainment $200 million, and struggles even now to gather more than 200 concurrents on Steam. As I write, only 56 people are playing it on Valve's platform (though doubtless there are more elsewhere).
