The Suicide Squad (or Task Force X) were a group of DC comics villains who were gathered together by Amanda Waller for some of her more "difficult" missions..in other words these guys were like the dirty dozen of the DC universe, it was never a sure thing to return from a mission in one piece.
Justin Marks, whose super-prison screenplay “Supermax” utilized wrongly accused DC icon Green Arrow as well as its own giant cast of established DC supervillainy, is scripting “Suicide Squad” for Warner Bros.
No definitive word on which supervillians will be utilized for the movie, but those serving on the squad in the comics include Batman enemies Penguin, Poison Ivy and Deadshot, Flash enemies Captain Boomerang and Captain Cold, Green Arrow enemy Count Vertigo, Atom enemy Chronos, Justice League enemy Doctor Light, and Superman enemy Parasite.
I think this could be a pretty cool movie..provided Warner Bros. give the filmmakers the go ahead to use DCs most prolific superbastards of course!
