Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League certainly lives up to its title. With one exception, it's up to you and your band of ragtag misfits to butcher the whole band of legendary heroes in a series of bullet-riddled boss fights… and to be honest, I can't stand it. To clarify, I don't think Suicide Squad is the catastrophe that many are claiming that it is, but I'll concede right now that I've never felt less heroic or triumphant than when I'm standing over one of these iconic, inspirational heroes and putting a bullet in their skull - and it is always concluded with a bullet to the skull. I should feel proud of my victory when it turns out that, yes, a fish, a second-best assassin and two unstable circus performers can indeed take out one of the most powerful entities in the universe. Such a shame that those powerful entities were unambiguously good people who just don't deserve the fate you're giving them.
And it didn't have to be this way! There was a setting and a situation that would have solved the whole problem: a setting that Warner Bros. already owns the rights to… but we get ahead of ourselves. Let's understand the problem before we start looking at solutions.
