CAPTAIN BOOMERANG SERIES

CAPTAIN BOOMERANG SERIES

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is coming to PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X on Feb. Rocksteady doesn’t appear to have given up on the loot and upgrades for Suicide Squad’s characters, it just sounds like they’ll be addressed in a future video. There’s very little emphasis on the dreaded collectible gear that drew comparisons to Destiny 2 and Anthem in previous showings of Kill the Justice League. There looks to be a bit of the Arkham games’ combat mechanics in here, with warnings about when to shoot the bad guys and combos that will have the squad taking down multiple enemies at once. In the new footage, the game’s fast-paced, vertically oriented traversal through Metropolis, paired with a mix of gunplay and melee combat, looks pretty fun. Harley will use Batman’s grapple gun and glider to move through Metropolis, while Captain Boomerang wields Doctor Sivana’s Speed Force Gauntlet and Deadshot flies around using Gizmo’s jetpack. The video also explains how the Suicide Squad (aka Task Force X) becomes so super-powered themselves: Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark raid the Hall of Justice museum to steal a bunch of gear from superheroes and supervillains. Although theres much to look forward to with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League - given its a long-awaited new entry in the Batman: Arkham franchise - there is cause for. It re-establishes that the big threat in the upcoming game is a Brainiac-controlled Justice League and pretty much the entire populace of Metropolis, which has been “enhanced” by alien invaders. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagues shooter gameplay erases what makes Captain Boomerang unique, raising concerns over its authenticity. Rocksteady’s inaugural Suicide Squad Insider video focuses on the story and gameplay of its 2024 Suicide Squad game. After being ridiculed by the audience, an angry Harkness used his boomerang skills in crimes.Batman: Arkham developer Rocksteady Studios peeled back the curtain on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in a new 20-minute video on Wednesday, a preview that sure goes a long way toward addressing the tepid reception to the game’s previous reveal. In DC comics, Captain Boomerang is 'Digger' Harkness, an Australian hired as a boomerang promoter by a toy company owned by his biological father. With help from Batman and Orion, Flash defeated Boomerang and his companions, and the Rogues were taken into custody.Ĭaptain Boomerang, as his name implied, was an expert with the aboriginal weapon and employed a varied arsenal of specialized boomerangs in his crimes. Later, Captain Boomerang and the other villains tried to ambush Flash at the museum opening.

Then, he dispatched a giant boomerang rocket to clamp onto Flash, with the intention of crashing into a mountain, but Flash managed to disable the device and escape. After Mirror Master's attempt to kill Flash failed, Boomerang attacked the hero with multiple exploding boomerangs. He soon chose to join forces with three other Flash foes to take revenge on the Scarlet Speedster. Having managed to gain early release from 'the squad' (instead of the five years normally required by its recruits), Boomerang returned to Central City shortly before the Flash Museum's dedication. In exchange for amnesty, Boomerang elected to join Task Force X, a government covert operations team composed of criminals under the watch of Colonel Rick Flagg. Like many of Central City's criminal element, Boomerang frequently ran afoul of the Flash, and later wound up working as part of Amanda Waller's Task Force X.Ĭaptured by the Flash following a month-long crime spree spent robbing armored cars, Boomerang was convicted and incarcerated for his crimes. Captain Boomerang was a criminal, originally from Australia but based in Central City.
