Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Reveals New Playable Character for Season 3

A seventh playable character has been announced for Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, with Zoey Lawton, better known as Lawless, gearing up to join the band of misfits. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Season 3 will arrive on October 1, and Lawless’ inclusion will just be one piece of the update.

The game’s original roster consisted of only Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, and Deadshot, with each having their own unique playstyle. With the release of each season, a new playable character has joined the roster, with Joker and Mrs. Freeze added to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League with the launch of the first and second seasons’ content, respectively.

The newest character to join Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League‘s roster was announced via the game’s official Twitter page on September 26. The youngest daughter of Michelle Torres and fellow teammate Deadshot, Lawless made her first appearance in the comics in the first issue of 2005’s Deadshot Volume 2. Within the DC multiverse, there have been several iterations of Lawton throughout the years, though she remains a rather obscure character who hasn’t received a lot of attention from the writers during her run, making her an enigma to all but the most hardcore fans of the comic franchise. Interestingly, the Twitter post seems to use an alteration of her first name, which is normally spelled Zoe.

Some fans who have been following the game’s seasonal content predicted Lawless’ inclusion in the team since before the game was released in February. One leaker, Miller Ross, predicted in January that the first four characters introduced in upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League DLC would be Joker, Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and Deathstroke. With the confirmation of Lawless coming to the game on October 1, that only leaves Deathstroke yet to be revealed, with Killer Croc and Katana next on deck for release in 2025.

If the formula set by the first two seasons remains consistent, the third season will likely add some new maps and story content that will see the team traveling to another realm, where they will likely encounter Lawless and add her to the ranks. Not much is known about the Season 3 content so far, but the reception to the announcement of Lawless’ addition has been lackluster, with many fans waiting for the more popular character Deathstroke to be added to the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League roster.
