Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley introduced a trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League with a familiar cast of villains and misfits exchanging banter while out on a mission before encountering the Dark Knight himself, Batman. It’s a pleasant surprise to find out Kevin Conroy recorded dialogue for the game before he passed away in November. Conroy began voicing Bruce Wayne in the ’90s show Batman: The Animated Series, which ran 85 episodes on Fox Kids.
