This week DC comics character Amanda Waller new look was revealed for the rebooted universe on the last page of
Suicide Squad #1. Amanda Waller, is now a skinny hot young babe.
Waller was a part of the Legend series in the eighties, she led the Suicide Squad which containned super villains, and worked for the government doing what superheroes would not do. She was one of the few DC female characters that was overweight.
But recently at
Green Lantern we saw a version of Waller that wasn't exactly as the comic apart. Apparently the reboot DC Universe took some influence from the movie.
Writer of Suicide Squad Adam Glass, has talked with
Bleeding Cool about the criticism, saying that this is a rebooted, younger Amanda Waller at the start of her career:
Amanda Waller is not defined by her size but by her attitude and she still has plenty of that.
If you don't know Amanda Waller, here is a brief description of the character:
Nicknamed "the Wall", she is a former congressional aide and government agent often placed in charge of the Suicide Squad, a semi-secret government-run group of former supervillains working in return for amnesty. She later served as Secretary of Metahuman Affairs under President Lex Luthor, before being arrested in the wake of Luthor's public fall from grace. Waller was recently reassigned to the leadership of Checkmate as White Queen, but has been forced to resign because of her involvement in Operation Salvation Run.
Amanda Waller appeared on the
Green Lantern movie, in the television show
Justice League Unlimited, the animated movie
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and Pam Grier played Amanda Waller in the ninth season of
Smallville.
