If rocksteady was smart the big Batman reveal would have happened right after Harley shot the Batman clone in the head and then he would have joined them and been playable for the final assault on Brainiac.
Writing capeshit is super easy, how come troons are incapable of doing it?

Probably because they hate everything good and idealistic.

@Minty I don't think it was rushed. There's a lot of foreshadowing that the bad league members are clones. I guarantee they were planning on the bat family either being fine somehow or bringing them back, same with wonderwoman.
But in their rush to push how edgy this game was they forgot how cool it would have been for the real Bruce to step out of the shadows of a back alley right after you supposedly killed him.

@Kyonko802 in their rush to retcon their own story they also left wonder woman and the batfamily dead
In their push to make wonder woman "the good one" they "permanently" killed her off. :zt_laugh:

It requires respect for these existing things, which your average fag seems to lack. A respectful writer would understand the Justice League and what people enjoy about all these characters, leading them to understand that the fans would, while enjoying the fights against each member, want to in the end save the Justice League so they could all work together to take down the biggest bad. Respect is vital for quality, and most of these ass writers always seem to think the stories should be used for their goals, not respect of the worlds.
There's also the fact of the forceful modern political angle, which isn't big on idealism and dreams. Batman isn't good to look up to since he's straight, white, rich and decides to try to help create the ideal world by solving genuine problems (not by beating up random people who haven't done shit but are white). Being a hero is seen as immature by these kinds though, and by killing these heroes and being "realistic anti-heroes" they're suddenly mature. This "maturity" somehow makes their political beliefs the correct ones.

@Minty Maybe they were planning on a big suicide squad and justic league teamup in the final "season".
Another issue with games as a service.
If it had been a complete game with a contained story where this all happened in 30 to 40 hours of gameplay and ALL the JL members got unlocked during the final mission and there was no crossplay with people who hadn't beaten the game yet, it would have been a hit regardless of it being a samey looter shooter. Pure word of mouth from how awesome the final level is would have sold them many more copies than keeping their cards close to their chest and trying to sell shitty skins and a crappy version of the joker and freeze.

@Kyonko802 I'd argue the clone thing was the plan but they rushed it all the same. The problem is the clone reveal doesn't really undo any of the actual damage that was done. I feel if given enough time they were going to introduce an else world wonder woman or some kind of revival plotline or have Robin and company show up. Probably on whatever part of the story batman was supposed to be rescued on. Issue is they never did any of that, so they left Robin and co "dead" and wonder woman is just dead dead. The thing is they vastly overestimated the amount of room they had to tell the story and got a sharp reality check at the front door.

@Kyonko802 The most damning thing of all is that Kill the Justice League is absolutely beat to death as an evil Justice League game by a Lego game of all things. Yeah it's technically not the Justice League themselves, but the plot is far more well thought out and complete of a plot. From a game franchise that is mostly about comedic retelling of movie stories.
