It had been rumoured for a while, but now it's official.

The title hasn't been confirmed yet, but the domain name for the above was registered a few months back. And given that Supes is targeted in the image, it looks as if Rocksteady's next game will indeed see the Suicide Squad take on the Justice League. I'm guessing/hoping this will take design cues from the comics (and the existing Arkham games) and have nothing to do with the recent movies.
A few things are interesting to me. Firstly, they've neatly sidestepped the problem with playing as Superman. He's just way too OPed to be a playable character in games. But taking him on? Interesting.... Secondly, given it's the Suicide Squad, will it be a multiplayer affair? And if so, will it therefore be pitched (fairly or not) against the Avengers? It could be an interesting head to head. Avengers is the bigger franchise, but opinions still seem divided on it. And Rocksteady do have experience of handling the DC universe and its characters.
The fact that WB Interactive Entertainment is up for sale also adds spice. And there's still the WB Montreal game to be revealed (long rumoured to be Batman/Court of Owls). We'll know more about Suicide Squad on August 22nd, when the DC FanDome event kicks off.
