Looking at the disaster that was Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, I remembered the good old days with the DC games from the Injustice games to the Arkham games where they were basically showing the world how a good superhero video game works. Sure, you also had Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2, but that was basically Gauntlet with Marvel heroes. Thinking about it, if they wanted a game told from the villains' perspective in the DC universe, there was one obvious choice, one that I decided upon while I was playing the Arkham and Injustice games.
The thing was, instead of making Harley the brat who takes down the JLA, Deathstroke would've been the best option to lead the Suicide Squad. He gave the Teen Titans hell, he has a sharp mind and is a well-trained fighting man, he's as strong as Batman except he's more than willing to kill people if the employer pays him enough. Having it be a clear villain story where you enjoy being the bad guy instead of it being some preachy woke bullshit would've been peachy.
Have Amanda Waller and Lex Luthor be corrupted by Brainiac, have them hire Deathstroke to put together a team and take down the JLA, on some bogus charge of Superman having broken the law. Have Slade Wilson and his team beat, humiliate, and capture each hero, but then at the last minute, Deathstroke realizes that Brainiac is controlling his bosses, and that the latter is going to steal the JLA's powers and destroy the world, so he talks his team into betraying Waller and Lex and freeing the heroes, the last level has the JLA causing havoc on Brainiac's ship while Deathstroke leads his team break down Brainiac's door and whoop his ass.
The Suicide Squad's last-minute heel-face turn absolves them of their previous crimes, Waller and Lex are captured and treated, removing Brainiac's influence on them, and the last scene has the US government pay Deathstroke what Waller owed him and his team, plus an extra bonus for saving the world. The ending scene has the Suicide Squad off vacationing in the Bahamas, until Parademons show up and it seems like Darkseid is invading, so Batman calls and gives Slade an offer for him and his team to assist in fighting against the invasion. Deathstroke, speaking on behalf of the Suicide Squad, tells Batman that they're willing to do as he says, so long as they're paid. End scene, cut to credits, and that cliffhanger is the hook for the DLC.
