The monstrous soldier squad from the fan-favorite comic books will be seen in the most-awaited animated series coming straight from James Gunn, who's set to reboot the DC universe with his Superman film arriving in 2025.
According to DC Comics, this squad of brutal soldiers was created during World War II, for missions that were too harsh for ordinary soldiers. Similarly in Gunn's animated series, the commandos will follow Amanda Waller's orders.
The imprisoned monsters will be released and sent to dangerous missions. This animated series was announced soon after James Gunn and Peter Safran became the co-CEOs of the DC Studios. Read more to know everything about the new animated show.

The first trailer kicks off with Amanda Waller leading Captain Flag to the craziest prison ever, even crazier than the Suicide Squad! As Waller says "We can't use human prisoners", she shows a glimpse into what it's like inside the monstrous prison saying "These a*sholes aren’t human" followed by Flag asking her about The Bride as she never fails to flaunt her ruthless personality.
The trailer continues to feature other characters including Weasel, G.I. Robot, Dr. Phosphorus, Frankenstein, and Nina Mazursky. Captain Flag then takes these monstrous creatures with him, set for the biggest mission ever. Before the trailer ends, The Bride confirms that they were the monsters Waller and her team wanted.
