About Suicide Squad
In the vacuum left by Superman’s absence, intelligence officer Amanda Waller takes a new approach to national security threats – recruit captive criminals for black ops missions. She assembles Task Force X, filled with jailed deviants from prison Belle Reve.
This “Suicide Squad” consists of ace hitman Deadshot, deranged psychiatrist turned accomplice Harley Quinn, fiery ex-gangster El Diablo, thief extraordinaire Captain Boomerang, genetic aberration Killer Croc, lethal assassin Slipknot, and more.
Keeping this band of convicted felons in line while on covert missions for the government is no easy task. So each has a nano-bomb implanted, ready to detonate if any go rogue or escape Waller’s control.
Colonel Rick Flag is the brave soldier charged with commanding these despicable agents. He must utilize their expendability and skills while facing the hazards of guiding this group of dangerous backstabbers with bombs in their necks at all times. It’s an assignment no sane person would envy.
The Squad’s Battle Against a Witch’s Siege
Things take an unexpected turn when archaeologist Dr. June Moone, Colonel Flag’s girlfriend, reveals herself to be possessed by the powerful witch Enchantress.
She turns on Amanda Waller, using her mystical abilities to transform Midway City’s residents into an army of monsters and summoning her equally sinister brother to assist.
Waller sends the Suicide Squad into Midway, officially on a mission to extract a high-profile target, but their real mark is Waller herself. She’s trying to hide her connections to Enchantress’ siege of the city.
Upon learning Harley Quinn’s life is in danger from the nano bomb in her neck, her obsessive lover the Joker launches his own rescue plan.
After torturing a security officer, he blackmails a nano bomb scientist into disabling Harley’s device.
On route to Midway, the Squad’s helicopter is shot down, forcing a ground assault. Distrustful of Waller’s true motives, Boomerang convinces Slipknot the bombs are a control ruse, leading Slipknot to foolishly attempt to escape and promptly explode.
fighting through monstrous hordes, the weary Squad finally reaches Waller’s safe room. But their troubles are just beginning dealing with the mess she created unleashing Enchantress.
The Suicide Squad escorts Amanda Waller to an extraction point, only to be ambushed by the helicopter-hijacking Joker and his thugs, intent on rescuing Harley Quinn. Though shot down, Harley escapes to rejoin the Squad after the Joker is seemingly killed in an explosion.
Enchantress’ minions then kidnap Waller. While searching for intel on Enchantress, Deadshot uncovers the truth behind Waller’s connections.
Colonel Flag is forced to come clean, causing the Squad to angrily abandon him and his dishonest mission.
But Flag presses on alone to save Waller and stop Enchantress’ apocalyptic plan. Realizing this is their only path to redemption, the Squad soon has a change of heart and rejoins Flag.
They locate Enchantress underground and fight their way toward her. El Diablo ultimately sacrifices himself distracting Enchantress’ brother long enough for Killer Croc and a Navy SEAL team to plant and detonate a bomb, finally eliminating the mystical siblings’ threat.
The upcoming Suicide Squad Isekai anime promises to bring together an all-star team of top creators to transpose DC’s delinquent antiheroes into an exciting new isekai setting.
