Not days after the release of Gotham by Gaslight, DC is gearing up for another animated romp with everyone’s favourite Suicide Squad.

This animated movie stars the classic Squad, with Deadshot, Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang, along with some new faces. They are tasked with retrieving a mystical object from the hands of a tyrant, by one Amanda Waller.

Many of you might recognise her as the only good thing in the 2016 movie and from various comics. She is the catalyst that brings these villains together.

The movie features Mr Robot’s Christian Slater as the voice of Deadshot, with voice-actor veteran Tara Strong as Harley Quinn and Amanda Waller played by Vanessa Williams. A synopsis for animation has also been released:

‘Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay finds Amanda Waller’s top secret Task Force X–Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, Killer Frost, Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn and Copperhead–on a mission to retrieve a mystical object so powerful that they’re willing to risk their own lives to steal it.

But the Suicide Squad isn’t the only group of villains seeking to possess the object. The race is on for the golden prize.. and, to stay alive, second place isn’t an option.”

Much like Gotham by Gaslight and 2016’s The Killing Joke, this will carry an R-rating. No release date was set but expect it at some point this year.

Gotham by Gaslight has wowed fans, with a 9.3 already on IMDb. We can’t wait to see it.
