Suicide Squad ISEKAI Plot
The plot actually seems pretty fun and interesting, with the cast of the Suicide Squad being put on a mission to bring peace to another world, hence the isekai aspect of the whole series. Honestly, it looks like fun and something that – after failed Suicide Squad movies and games – the IP truly needs.
