We recently attended a Warner Bros. Games preview event, where we played about five hours of Suicide Squad. Rocksteady wouldn't discuss the endgame players will see when they complete Suicide Squad's story campaign at the event. However, the studio announced in November that future seasonal content and additional playable characters will be free--which gives some sense of what players can expect from the game long-term.

Hackett's conception of Suicide Squad is almost as two games. There's the "boxed package" of the Suicide Squad story, in which you'll complete the mission of taking on the Justice League. Rocksteady wouldn't provide any details about Suicide Squad's endgame but did mention that additional characters, with their own play styles and movement abilities, will be released post-launch.
