We’ve made the difficult decision to postpone Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League until the spring of 2023. I know the delay is frustrating but this time is heading towards the best possible match. I look forward to bringing chaos to Metropolis together. Thank you for your patience. pic.twitter.com/VOSwTM6Zak
