So far, only a few details have emerged about the upcoming DC anime, but one can only imagine the chaos that will ensue with this unique concept. With its colorful cast of characters, it's no surprise that the Suicide Squad's isekai debut is expected to be anything but ordinary. Harley Quinn, in particular, knows all too well that things are bound to go sideways for her. Key art has been released, showcasing characters such as the Joker, and the project is being directed by Eri Osada, known for their work on Jujutsu Kaisen.

As of now, no specific release window has been announced for the DC anime. However, a TV show centered around the Suicide Squad is currently in development. This small-screen project is just one of several that have tackled the exploits of this legendary team in recent years. The Suicide Squad previously made its mark on the big screen with David Ayer's blockbuster, receiving mixed reviews and eventually leading to a sort of reboot by James Gunn. Other spin-off projects, like Birds of Prey and Peacemaker, have stemmed from the world of the Suicide Squad. And naturally, fans are eagerly anticipating the team of rogues' future appearances within the DCEU.
