Wonder Woman doesn't appear to be evil, unlike her teammates, and it would make sense if Batman assisted her and Task Force X in taking on the rest of the League too, given the character's history of fighting the JLA in the comics. Rocksteady has revealed four members of the Justice League for its upcoming Suicide Squad game, including Superman, Green Lantern, Flash, and Wonder Woman. Kill The Justice League Could Introduce A New Batman Although it's possible that Dick Grayson may have donated the sticks to the Hall's museum because he likely has lots of spares, it could also be a hint that he has left the Nightwing identity behind, and embraced the mantle of his mentor. Scarecrow's toxin glove is also present at the Hall of Justice, but arguably the most interesting Arkham reference is the inclusion of Nightwing's escrima sticks, which are on display nearby. The specifics of Suicide Squad's connections to Batman: Arkham and its timeline are yet to be fully revealed, but the most recent trailer does seemingly confirm that the game takes place after the events of Arkham Knight, as a statue of Batman can be seen in the Hall of Justice modeled after the character's look from that game specifically. Related: All Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League's Heroes & Villains So Far The game's Arkham City Stories add-on showed Nightwing and Robin dealing with the aftermath of Batman's decision, evidently none-the-wiser that the Dark Knight is living on as a new vigilante, or that someone else has stepped in to fill the void. An additional cutscene shows a figure not unlike Batman interrupting a mugging, with Scarecrow's fear-gas effect overlayed to intimate the criminals' terror. Rocksteady's latest DC title is set in the same continuity as the Batman: Arkham series, and the most recent trailer included multiple references to the Caped Crusader, who may have faked his own death at the end of Batman: Arkham Knight, following his identity being exposed by Scarecrow earlier in the story.īatman: Arkham Knight's ending is open to interpretation, but a possible reading of the true ending is that Bruce Wayne has fully committed to being Batman, or maybe even a new kind of vigilante, at the expense of severing all the connections to his old life and family.


Chris would grow up to be an incarnation of Nightwing.Batman's presence was felt all over the most recent Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguetrailer, but there's a chance that the Dark Knight depicted in the game won't be Bruce Wayne. Superman's enemy General Zod had a son named Lor-Zod who was adopted by Superman under the name of Christopher Kent. As aliases, Superman goes by Nightwing and Lois as Flamebird. When Superman and Lois Lane got stuck in a historic Kryptonian simulation made by Superman's biological father Jor-El they are deemed criminals and hunted prolifically by the simulated authorities. They cyclically die and are reborn, having to find one another in each life. In Kryptonian mythology, Nightwing and Flamebird are deities created by the sun god Rao. Superman tells Dick Grayson the myth of Nightwing and Flamebird, leading to Dick assuming the name for himself. Instead, in this world Nightwing and Flamebird were figures of Krytponian mythology which Clark learned of from the sun-crystals in his Fortress of Solitude. The Nightwing and Flamebird of Kryptonian Myth Kryptonian Mythologyįollowing Crisis on Infinite Earths, Superman had yet to learn that the city of Kandor was saved and as such never visited it and became Nightwing. Inspired by the story of Superman's visit to Kandor, Dick chose to take up his own variant of the Nightwing alias. However, as Krypton didn't have bats or robins (despite Dick Grayson having been modelled after the folkloric Robin Hood) the two took up monikers based on the Kryptonian animals of Nightwing and Flamebird.įollowing Superman and Jimmy Olsen's leave from Kandor, the title of Nightwing fell onto Superman's cousin Van-Lee, a scientist who used tech to replicate Superman's powers in the Kryptonian city.Īfter falling out with Batman, Dick Grayson left the Dark Knight's side to become a more regular member of the Teen Titans. Inspired by their friends Batman and Robin (Dick Grayson), Superman and Jimmy modelled themselves after the Dynamic Duo to try and fight injustice in Kandor. Kandor was shrunken by the alien-supercomputer Brainiac with its citizens inside.Īfter Superman had saved the bottled city from Brainiac, he and Jimmy entered only to find it had become crime-infested. Superman and his pal Jimmy Olsen had entered the shrunken city of Kandor, a city from Superman's destroyed planet of Krypton which was saved from destruction.

In Superman #158 (1963) the moniker of Nightwing was first used by Superman.
