DC FanDome Lineup Revealed, New 'Suicide Squad' Game from Rocksteady Announced
DC unveiled its epic lineup for the DC FanDome event onTwitter early Friday morning.
The lineup includes actors, directors, and crew members from a wide variety of DC content, from DCEU movies like “Wonder Woman 1984,” “The Suicide Squad,” and “Black Adam,” to non-DCEU movies such as “The Batman.” Even DC animated content will have a presence with the cast of the “Harley Quinn” show.
Fans can expect to see all of the following discussing their work on upcoming DC projects: Robert Pattinson, Zack Snyder, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Dwayne Johnson, Margot Robbie, Patty Jenkins, Zachary Levi, James Gunn, Matt Reeves, Geoff Johns, and more.
You can see the full lineup in the video below, as revealed on Matt Reeves’s Twitter:
As part of the announcements, Rocksteady revealed in a tweet Friday morning the first promotional image and official announcement of its upcoming “Suicide Squad” video game. The teaser image, shown below, features a logo for the title cleverly showcasing the apparent target of the game’s titular team: Superman.
The tweet promises new details will be revealed at the DC FanDome event scheduled for later this month. Speculation arises that we could possibly be in for a trailer, a team roster along with character designs, and a revelation of the voice cast we can expect to see in the game, among other exciting possibilities.
Rocksteady is the British video game developer behind “Batman: Arkham Asylum,” “Batman: Arkham City,” and “Batman: Arkham Knight.” If any of those games are indications of the quality we can expect in “Suicide Squad,” then DC fans are in for a real treat.
Fans of the “Batman: Arkham” series of video games may remember that a “Suicide Squad” game was first teased during the end-credits scene of “Batman: Arkham Origins” (which was developed by Warner Bros Games Montreal). In this scene, we see Deathstroke being approached by Amanda Waller asking if he wants to join a team that she calls the “Suicide Squad.”
As of now, it is unclear if this game will be set in the same continuity as the “Arkham” series, or if Deathstroke, voiced by Mark Rolston in “Arkham Origins,” will even return to take up Waller’s offer. However, fans are most likely eager to see if Kevin Conroy will return to voice Batman.
Since this serves as the first official announcement of a “Suicide Squad” video game, a release date has not been set, although rumor speculates we can expect to see this game sometime in 2021 or 2022.
