Suicide Squad logo

Can someone add the circular cross Suicide Squad logo? That should be covered under {{PD-simple}} since it is a simple intercrossed pair of words inset into a circle. -- 65.94.169.16 (talk) 05:26, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Release

People need to stop changing release from Spring to Early 2023, Sefton Hill Specifically said Spring 2023 not early 2023!!!!!!! 2604:CB00:29E:FE00:906:61E0:CAE9:ADB9 (talk) 19:39, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please see MOS:SEASON. Thank you. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:02, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

People need to stop thinking that the games coming out May '26 cause it's not It's been delayed Gamingmaster83 (talk) 13:39, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 25 March 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I want to Edit and protect it til more accurate info is released. The release information is wrong, its Spring not early 2023 Gamingmaster83 (talk) 23:05, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done We purposely avoid using seasonal terms, due to the fact that seasons are not the same in all parts of the globe. "Early 2023" is sufficient. --Masem (t) 23:06, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To add, while Jason Schreier at Bloomberg has claimed this has been further delayed, we have no official word yet, so it is inappropriate to mark it delayed until WB or Rocksteady affirms it. Masem (t) 13:44, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delayed

With permission, I would like to update this and say that the game has been delayed indefinitely now. I have the proof right here.

https://www.ign.com/articles/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-reportedly-delayed-again Iacowriter (talk) 16:42, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, any claims of a delay by Bloomberg or by anyone else needs to be verified and to be confirmed by WB or Rocksteady themselves. Because there's a possibility of being untrue and still be released on May 26. TheDeviantPro (talk) 01:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, If everyone is reporting it including IGN Then it's true and it is delayed Rocksteady is going to confirm it sooner or later because there are no pre orders It's not on any of the retailers. PlayStation network has no release date and it isn't even listed on Gamefly. Gamingmaster83 (talk) 14:37, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then wait until Rocksteady confirm it. OceanHok (talk) 15:51, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone was reporting on the Bloomberg report which again, doesn't confirm anything until WB or Rocksteady announces the delay. If it is going confirmed at a later date then there is no harm in waiting until then, otherwise it's just jumping the gun. TheDeviantPro (talk) 03:12, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So is Writing in the description Tell people not to edit Until it's confirmed Gamingmaster83 (talk) 05:01, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Everybody just needs to relax No more adding or subtracting anything starting now. Until it's confirmed Gamingmaster83 (talk) 05:41, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OceanHok (talk · contribs) and TheDeviantPro (talk · contribs), Gamingmaster83 is edit warring and I've already hit my 3RR. I've reported Gamingmaster83 at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 05:58, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And I'll do the same to you I'm not warring you are. All they gotta do is look at the log and say that you're making a big deal on nothing Gamingmaster83 (talk) 06:01, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do, I'm not stopping you. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 06:13, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Section blanking from 65.184.237.37

Is there a reason you completely blanked out the section, 65.184.237.37? Political discussion in gaming is by no means unheard of. The Last of Us II and other video game articles also have sections about their politics. ShirtNShoesPls (talk) 18:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While political discussion (or discourse, depending on who you ask) isn't unheard of, the paragraph in question cites the same source twice, which makes it seem like it's not a large part of the public reaction. Just my two cents on the matter though, I don't know the ins and outs of Wikipedia policy. 204.187.25.166 (talk) 19:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppeting

IP's from the same approximate location are removing information about the title's technical issues. I'm requesting that the article is silver locked for the time being. ShirtNShoesPls (talk) 19:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

Both Political Analysis and Batman's portrayal sections only include one citation. More than just one would be preferred, and to me, Political Analysis currently does not seem noteworthy enough, especially with TheGamer's reliability being "Situational." detria^skies 19:51, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1.) The Direct and other gaming websites also mention the controversy surrounding Batman's death.

2.) Right-wing backlash to the politics of games is briefly mentioned in many articles. (The Last of Us II.) It's something that should be mentioned in the article. ShirtNShoesPls (talk) 20:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It fine to mention it as long as it doesn't violate WP:WEIGHT. Ideally there would be more than one source to support that backlash is widespread and notable. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:13, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1.) The Direct doesn't seem like a particularly noteworthy source either. What other gaming websites?

2.) The Last of Us Part II had, as far as I can tell, a much larger overall backlash. It also contains multiple citations from larger news websites (Polygon, Vox, etc.), and was more detailed in specifying who was saying what. 204.187.25.166 (talk) 20:14, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1.) "News posts and original content after August 2020 are considered generally reliable. Several editorial staff have bylines highlighting their experience working with other reputable video game media outlets such as VG247" is what the guidelines state. How is it not reliable in this instance.

2.) Three sentences in an article seems proportional to me. No one's suggesting that an essay in the article is dedicated to it. ShirtNShoesPls (talk) 20:25, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“Some players bewailed about the appearance of a pride flag reading "we support all heroes," and whined that the game is "woke".”

This is not a sentence which belongs on Wikipedia. Players ‘whine’ about Pride flags all the time, doesn’t make it significant. Jamesifer (talk) 20:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The word "whine" has been removed per WP:NPOV. The sentence is reliably sourced. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:43, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The inclusion of Batman's fate in the 'reception' section reads like a fan venting their anger, not a necessary inclusion.

"killing multitudes of people" are the words of someone getting their feelings off their chest. The reception section is for the reception of the game, not the plot. I have removed it, but someone has come back to restore it; there is no reason for its inclusion. TheJamesifer (talk) 21:08, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whilst I do think that section should be more neutral and less, like you said, like someone getting their feelings off their chest, I do think there should be a section about the audience reception towards the story. It’s definitely created a mixed response similar to Joel’s death in The Last of Us Part 2, especially in regards to Batman’s death. AlwaysBi (talk) 23:33, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the other end, we don't know if this will be a long-term point of contention and not a kneejerk reaction, especially when the game isn't officially released to the general public yet. Rakewater (talk) 00:59, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

True, but with this being Kevin Conroy's last performance and the lukewarm reception pre-release, it’s safe to say the bad taste is already in everyone’s mouth if they heard about it. Additionally, people will watch the scenes on YouTube and TikTok if they don’t plan on buying it, which is likely a lot of people. DumbDiamonds (talk) 02:34, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that there should be a section on reception to the story, but stating Batman’s ultimate fate does not belong in that section. Saying that fans were not happy with elements of Batman’s story is one thing, but the actual circumstances of his death belong in the plot section. As it stands, it unnecessarily spoils the story because someone was unhappy with it. TheJamesifer (talk) 06:24, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
