Hey! It’s HiTop Films here, Ol’ Uncle HiTop, here today to talk about The Tragedy of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, or rather, simply, The Tragedy of Kill The Justice League. I’m still unsure on the title of this HiTop Films Video Essay, Kill The Justice League Rant, Kill the Justice League Review.
Sorry this took so long, but hopefully it’s worth the wait. I love the Arkham Franchise, I’ve made some of my favorite HiTop Films Arkham Videos on just how much I love what Rocksteady has done with Batman. I even adore most of Arkham Knight, but this was such a massive disappointment. One could say that it broke me.
I’m just typing out keywords to try and get YouTube on my side. Is this a HiTop Films Batman Video Essay, yes? In a sense.

In all seriousness, It’s been too long since I uploaded. I’m sorry. I’ve been dealing with a ton of personal struggles, as well as trying to get our Feature Length Jason Todd film out to you all! Thank you for the love and support and enjoy this massive video. More to come.
I miss you, Kevin.

Thank you to THAT ONE DOESN’T COUNT for editing this video!

    Much love to you all! I miss you! Let me know what you think and always keep creating. ❤
  • @jacobp249
    You gotta give props to how creatively they actually kill the Justice League. Batman was shot with a gun. Flash was taken out with a gun. Green Lantern died from a bullet wound from a gun. And Superman was shot with a gun.
  • You know the plot would have been a great teen titans game, having these young heroes having to fight their mentors is much more heartfelt then a bunch of ex cons
  • @Jack-sy8mr
    When LEGO Batman 3 and LEGO DC Super Villains execute the same plot but better😂
  • @JCT45
    "I never grew out of the Arkam Franchise, I grew with it... and it greaw with me." bravo
  • Fun fact, none of the devs for Suiside Squad actually worked on any Arkham title, as most of Rocksteady's talent left a long time ago. Explains a lot, doesn't it?
  • @IndianaKong95
    23:16 Holy Fuck, that was YOU! DUDE!! I remember finding that video and was so obsessed with figuring out how Joker could still be alive. Good times man....
  • @bensneb360
    I will say Kevin Conroy does a really fun "Evil Batman" preformance
  • @69Kazeshini
    I hate the superman audiolog where he convinces the entire league to enter brainiacs ship. Superman is a good guy but not an idiot and i feel like modern writers are trying to turn Superman into a himbo.
  • @DamningTooth1
    Not my original idea, but I do think the idea of “Wonder Woman Saves the Justice League” would’ve been much better than a Suicide Squad game.
  • This game honestly could've been it's own unique thing, had it not been part of the Arkhamverse. Wish they gave us a Batman Beyond, Superman or even just a Justice League game instead.
  • Man, you're my favorite pretentious film youtuber. You just make it fun.
  • @dynaguy3
    The Arkham audio logs added to the characters’ history and worldbuilding, but were never full of vital information that was necessary to the story. They were cool Easter eggs and fun to hear, but the main story felt complete without them.
  • @slp1857
    As weird as it sounds if you were to make a Suicide Squad game you shouldn't try making a looter shooter, you should try making Fire Emblem
  • @thatvillainjay
    My man sounds like he's about to cry through this whole video
  • @masicoler
    I worked on this game for some time, I came along when the project was already started and stayed there for a couple of years, if only you knew... this video made me tear up as you have achieved other times but this one was different, this stung, I wish the game could have been what much of the team really wanted and hoped for but sadly most of us are bottom of the barrel when it comes to decission making, money and suits always ruin shit. Thank you and I truly hope you can acomplish with Jason what you hoped to find in this money hungry dumpster of a game.
  • @Dailvin
    Maybe this is why insomniac decided to cancel the multiplayer spider-man game. If they thought this would be the the fate of that game then I’m fine without it
  • why did Rocksteady make a looter shooter, are they stupid? c'mon, someone had to do it
  • @IzayaLee1725
    That last half of the video was extremely relatable talking about how you found out about Arkham Asylum through a magazine, while your dad got smokes and it brought up some memories. It made tear up, man. Keep doing what you're doing, Alex ❤
  • Could have easily made a JL game; Give Harley's grapnel to Batman, Deadshot's flight to Superman, Shark's jumps to WW, Boomer's speed to Flash and shift the story to "The league defends Metropolis against an invading Brainiac and his gallery of assorted Rogues he's collected from other worlds." Character moments could easily stem from those villains, and they can explore each member's personality and interactions as a newer formed team, battle-hardening them into a Justice League that can kick ass in a sequel. Immediately a better-sounding concept than "haha Squad kills superman". What a joke.
