## Plot

In Gotham City, assassin Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot attempts to kill Batman, but the Dark Knight defeats him. One month later, an imprisoned Lawton is forced to join Amanda Waller's Task Force X, nicknamed the Suicide Squad. The team is comprised of career criminals serving life sentences who can go on suicide missions for the government in exchange for decreased jail time. Lawton is joined by George Harkness aka Captain Boomerang, Louise Lincoln aka Killer Frost, Eric Needham aka Black Spider, Nanaue aka King Shark, and Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn. They are also joined by Anatoli Knyazev aka KGBeast, who refuses to go along with the operation. Waller allows him to leave, but the moment he does she blows his head off, killing him. It's revealed that all Squad members have bombs implanted in their necks to make sure they follow Waller's orders. She tells them that their mission will be breaking into Arkham Asylum to steal the Riddler's cane, which contains information on the Justice League stolen from Batman himself.

The Suicide Squad members are dropped into Gotham City. Frost's parachute fails but King Shark saves her. The villains travel to the Iceberg Lounge and meet up with Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin, who supplies them with their weapons and houses them for the night. He is angered at Harley's presence, as it was her and her ex-boyfriend Joker who stabbed out his eye. Lawton saves her life. That night, she propositions him for sex, though her inviting of King Shark to join them ruins the moment.

To enter the Asylum, Lawton steals a police uniform and 'arrests' Harley to bring her inside. Black Spider steals an orderly uniform as well as access cards. Boomerang and Frost go through the morgue, using the ice villain's low body temperature to pass her off as a corpse. They sneak Killer Shark in through the basement. The plan goes awry when Lawton and Harley pass by the Joker's cell. She shoots at him and reiterates their beak-up, telling the Clown Prince of Crime that Lawton is her new man. When the assassin attempts to tell a joke, Joker vows war against the lesser comedian.

The villains suit up and make their way for the evidence room while the Joker escapes from his cell. Lawton finds the thumb drive on Riddler's cane right before the group is attacked by the 'Batman'. In reality, this is Superman in disguise, and it's revealed that Batman has been masquerading as Black Spider with blackface to infiltrate the Squad and get back his stolen data from Riddler. Superman pretending to be him was Batman's way of throwing his teammates off his trail. Black Spider 'beats' the Bat, earning back the Squad's trust.

Killer Frost sneaks away on a special mission for Waller to kill the Riddler and tie up loose ends. However, he reveals that Waller will never let the criminals go, and offers her a way out. They reunite with the rest of the Squad, Riddler revealing that he can disable their bombs and help them escape. Riddler saves most of them, but Waller kills Shark before his bomb can be deactivated. This also blows Batman's cover.

Joker and the Batman battle while the Squad attempts to escape the Asylum. The Clown Prince of Crime comes to have his revenge on Lawton, with Harley switching back to his side. Deadshot out-crazies the clown and they escape, but Batman gives chase. Joker opens all the cell doors and sparks chaos across the island. Frost and Boomerang get taken down, but Lawton escapes on a helicopter. However, Joker and Harley stow away on his ride with a bomb powerful enough to level the city. Batman defeats Harley Quinn and disables the bomb while Lawton takes down the Joker.

Amanda Waller is interrogated by Batman, who wants to know what she did with the Justice League information. It's revealed that her mysterious benefactor is Vandal Savage, who plans to use the information to take down the heroes once and for all, assembling the Legion of Doom.
