==Plot Details==
Antiphon himself is a meta-human who seeks to discover the mysteries behind meta-humans and other supernatural beings. He has varying abilities such as limited super-speed, teleportation, and some form of telekinesis. He assigns Mark Richards to find the Enchantress in a cavern, but thrill seeker June Moone gets to it first. Moone is taken over by the Enchantress entity, who possesses her. Antiphon then assigns his men to capture Moone.
Amanda Waller, being interested in Enchantress's abilities, organizes Task Force X in order to get June back. This quickly attracts the attention of Batman, who was responsible for putting most of them away.
Harley Quinn starts to regain most of herself throughout the movie, even gaining romantic feelings for Floyd Lawton.
Slade Wilson is one of Waller's operatives who worked with Floyd Lawton in the Special Forces. He is slowly corrupted by Antiphon. Antiphon eventually threatens Slade with killing Adeline. Slade joins Onslaught and fights against Task Force X. After getting experimented on by Antiphon to give him superhuman abilities, he eventually gets into a gritty fight with Deadshot which results in him getting shot in the eye. Despite his regenerative abilities, the eye does not grow back, and he is given an eyepatch. At the very end of the film he gets a bicolor mask and names himself "Deathstroke".
The Joker has a looming presence throughout the film. Waller starts to use the Joker in order to get Batman's attention, as Batman has the most knowledge regarding meta-humans. Antiphon gets the same idea, but in a different form. He decides that he must get Batman's attention with a friend rather than an enemy, and tries to convince Enchantress to resurrect Jason Todd.
===Ending===
In the final battle, the squad takes on members of Onslaught in Belle Reve. Deadshot takes on Slade Wilson, freshly corrupted by Antiphon. While all of this is going on, inmates are breaking out. Enchantress is busy trying to complete the spell to revive Jason Todd.
The fight between Deadshot and Slade ends when Slade threatens to shoot Zoe, Deadshot's daughter. Deadshot shoots him in the eye, and he appears to die. However, he rips the bullet out of his skull and runs off. Most of the area around his eye regenerates, but the eye itself doesn't.
The Joker eventually breaks out of his cell. Harley, although seeming to have been freed from Joker's manipulation, decides to join him once more and travel to Gotham.
Amidst the chaos, both Slipknot and El Diablo die. Batman begins to intervene as well.
The resurrection process begins, and it is very strenuous for June. Eventually, Rick Flag and Katana break into the room and try to stop the process. Katana manages to kill Antiphon by piercing his torso with the Soultaker blade. Eventually the spell becomes too much for June, and the energy around her becomes volatile. Flag and Katana get the others and attempt to evacuate Belle Reve. Batman attempts to get to the room, but is unable to.
Belle Reve explodes, freeing many super villains. With Antiphon dead and Onslaught essentially gone, Floyd Lawton makes an agreement with Flag. Flag allows him to leave to go find his daughter. Harkness manages to escape without confronting Flag. Jones is found and brought to Blackgate Penitentiary.
Slade Wilson, now wearing an eyepatch, gets a bicolor mask and names himself "Deathstroke". He is then revealed to be working with Amanda Waller. Waller leads Deathstroke with her into Cadmus Labs, where they meet Lex Luthor. Waller tells Lex that they "have what they need", and give him a sample of Batman's blood.
In the mid-credits scene, a bloody hand is seen reaching out from the ruins of Belle Reve, showing that Jason Todd was indeed revived.
