The Suicide Squad has existed in DC Comics lore since 1959, and the modern version of the team, i.e. incarcerated supervillains being sent on black-ops missions in exchange for reduced sentences, was introduced in 1986. Over the last decade though, the Squad’s profile has increased dramatically thanks to various film, TV and video game appearances. Now word’s come in that the Suicide Squad has scored its own anime series, and there’s already a wild first look at the project.
Titled Suicide Squad: Isekai, which is Japanese for “another world,” this show hails from Warner Bros. Japan and WIT Studio, the latter of which is the animation studio behind anime like Attack on Titan (specifically its first three seasons) and Spy x Family. Announced at Anime Expo during the two companies’ panel, Isekai will be Warner Bros. Japan’s second big DC anime venture in recent years, as the branch previously released the direct-to-video movie Batman Ninja in 2018. Get your first taste of this anime series below, with the preview spotlighting Harley Quinn, The Joker and Amanda Waller.
