On the different aspect, @RGXSuperSonic notes that “Kevin Conroy’s passing was surprising and occurred mid-development” and that “we do not know what might transpire in post-game content material as the story will proceed past base-game.” So, this very effectively is probably not the finish. As we have seen many occasions, an obvious demise in comics is hardly the finish of a personality.
@Sensorite_kin additionally factors out that that is, in spite of everything, the Suicide Squad. What did we count on would occur?
“I believe ppl have to do not forget that the suicide squad are villains,” @Sensorite_kin wrote. “‘Batman’s demise was imply spirited.’ yeah cuz Harley and deadshot have needed Batman lifeless for f***** years. They’re villains. Wtf like come the f*** on.”
