In a Q&A hosted on the official Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Discord channel, Rocksteady revealed how the battle pass system works in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. We’ve summarized it in a shorter format, but if you want to read the full answer you can do so below.

For the most part, it’s your standard Battle Pass aside from the fact that you’ll be able to play any of the passes at any time, regardless of season. That’s a wise choice to make, something we’ve seen in other titles, such as Halo Infinite.
Darius Sadeghian, Studio Director:
We received a lot of questions about the Battle Pass and there’s a lot to cover here, so I’ll try to break it all down.
The Battle Pass in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be cosmetics-only, have both a Premium and free track, and a new Battle Pass will be released with each Season. The first Battle Pass will be released with the launch of Season 1, a few weeks after the game’s initial release.
There will be 75 tiers to complete in Season 1’s Battle Pass and included within will be Outfits, Emotes, Banners, Swatches and some premium currency. This can be used to purchase cosmetic items in the store or go towards purchasing future Premium Battle Passes.
We’re also happy to announce that you will be able to go back and play previous Battle Passes after a Season ends. We believe that our team has created some of the best looking cosmetic items ever, and we want those to be available for our players to enjoy without fear that they’ll miss out on anything.
And as a reminder each Season will have a new playable character, a new Elseworld to explore, LOADS of new gear, new missions to play and more all for free! The Premium Battle Pass is an optional extra for those who want to look extra fly while kicking some Brainiac butt. And keep in mind, all purchasable items are completely optional and do not affect gameplay in any way.
Sounds pretty reasonable. I like the idea of having lots of new cosmetics and the ones that have been shown look neat.
