The Suicide Squad drops a motley crew of supervillains — Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, and fellow Belle Reve inmates — into a covert, expendable Task Force X mission on the hostile island of Corto Maltese. That same world carries forward into television, where shared characters and their consequences continue to unfold. Together, these works span film and TV, each exploring what it means to survive when no one expects you to.
