SDCC: 'Hardcore violent' Suicide Squad game in the works photo

According to comic writer Geoff Johns, Warner Bros. Interactive is currently working on a videogame adaptation of the DC Comics property, Suicide Squad.

The info, with little detail, was revealed at the "DC Focus: Geoff Johns" panel at Comic-Con this week. What we do know about the game is that it's not going to be for the children -- Johns referred to the game as "hardcore violent."

Suicide Squad is made up of a team of villains, the concept heavily influenced by the 1960s film The Dirty Dozen. A film based around the characters is currently in development, with Sherlock Holmes producer Dan Lin on board. Expect many bodies as a result.

This could be awesome :-) Been a while since I really read any DC stuff, but this could be an intreresting take on things if its made as a mature title.

This is neat but a hardcore violent game based on Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol would be so totally radical.

The great thing about Suicide Squad is that it's basically a great concept where DC can throw characters in to die. Permanently. You get a great story out of a team-based book, and not everyone walks away at the end.

A fantastic concept that can only be ruined by mediocre game design. Make this good Warners.

As much as I dig the Suicide Squad, I've grown to adore the Secret Six so much more in the last two years. Who wouldn't want to cut people up as Catman?
