The recently released Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has seemingly not done well enough to keep Warner Bros happy.
Suicide Squad Easter egg hints at Batman’s return

Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League may not be the last we’ll see of the Arkhamverse’s Batman. A newly discovered Easter egg hints that the Dark Knight will return in some fashion, despite the premise of the game’s title.
YouTube channel Batman Arkham Videos posted an intriguing discovery from Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on Thursday: Rocksteady hid 12 calendar pages throughout the game’s Metropolis which contain a secret message. As deciphered by Batman Arkham Videos, the 12 dates circled on those calendar pages spell out the phrase, “He will return.”
That tease might seem like a vague hint if the final “circle” on the calendar month of December wasn’t shaped like a Batman symbol.

Batman fans might rightly assume that the Suicide Squad Easter egg might not be a tease about Batman’s return, but that of Calendar Man. That Batman villain appeared in Batman: Arkham City and Arkham Knight. But consider this: The location of the final piece of the calendar puzzle is in Metropolis’ Centennial Park, where Batman meets his ultimate fate in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Yes, Batman does die during the events of Kill the Justice League, but Rocksteady’s new team-based loot shooter is also a story about the multiverse, or as DC calls them, Elseworlds. One version of Lex Luthor dies in the game, only to be quickly replaced by his Earth-2 version. And the game ends with the promise that players will need to take down Brainiacs from a dozen other Elseworlds to fully eliminate him as a threat.
Future seasons of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League promise Elseworlds-themed versions of Metropolis for players to explore. Rocksteady has shown off versions that make Metropolis look like Gotham City, or see it covered in ice or lavishly Joker-fied.
Rocksteady is certainly willing to welcome a new version of the Joker in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League — not the incarnation that died in Arkham City, but a new, alternate-dimension Clown Prince of Crime. Will it do something similar for Batman? Time will tell.

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League Patch Causes Progression Issues
To say that Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League has gotten off to a rather rough start is an understatement in most gamers’ minds. While it might not have been a total “DOA” situation as some speculated it would be, there’s little doubt that it’s not what fans wanted overall, and even Warner Bros admitted that the game “didn’t meet sales expectations.” To be fair, some players enjoy the title and have been posting about it online, but those players are few and far between, and the ones who have beaten the game have noted that it’s not really a “worthy end” to a title that has been developed over several years.

To the 579 people playing ‘Suicide Squad’ on Steam right now: Warner Bros. feels your pain
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was supposed to herald in a new era for Rocksteady Games and the beloved Arkham-verse. Instead, it’s looking like it may achieve what the Joker and Brainiac never could – wiping out this iteration of the DC universe forever and leaving no survivors. After a troubled development period marked by delays, disastrous previews, and slippery interviews in which developers insisted that this live service game was not a live service game, the full product emerged earlier this month to underwhelming reviews.
