UPDATE: ARROW's Suicide Squad To Return

I wonder if Mike Muir will have a cameo.

Deadshot, Huntress, Cupid, Boomerang, and Deathstroke would make a great squad

Michael Jai White was probably too busy to return for a bit part.

I love arrow. I love suicide squad. I love dc.

Arrow season 2.5 comic had an original character join the team. Can't remember his name but he was from Khandaq, so we should assume he's part of the team. Fingers crossed for Deathstroke.

Suicide Squad was one of my favorite eps from last season and I really liked Cupid's first appearance. Adding Deathstroke would be awesome.

@knightinarkham1 Just double checked, unfortunately he isn't Black Adam. His name is Ravan Nassar and was recruited by Waller to fight against a Khandaqi terrorist organisation called Onslaught, lead by Khem-Adam (Black Adam) who took the name of an ancient Egyptian hero named Teth Adam. No mention of any ties to Shazam or the Rock of Eternity though.

Arrow writers panicked when ratings got down after the awesome season 2, so they throw my boy Slade in the mix when they early say that season 3 will not feature Deathstroke.

The third season has been pretty dissapointing for me.Season 2 was amazing.Hopefully with the return of Slade it will get better

Bronze Tiger was the most ridiculous part of the team anyway. Who wants a Wolverine knock off?

@ BigFoster - Agreed! That would make for an excellent team. I miss Michael Jai White as Tiger though, I'm a big fan of his and was very happy to see him on the show. I would've liked him playing like Black Spider or something instead.

Episode 17? cool!

Flash's 17 -> Trickste Hamill
Arrow's 17 -> New Suicide Squad

I just hope none of them takes another break until their seasons end.

Arrow's Deadshot casting >Suicide Squad Film Deadshot casting
Will Smith [frick]ing sucks

@Minty - do you know what movie that Grant.gif is from?

UPDATE: CBM mistakenly reported what ET Online mistakenly reported because we don't fact check, we just hurriedly throw something together to get stuff on the main page before someone else can rip-off the exact same thing; that the Suicide Squad returns in episode 18. "Suicidal Tendencies" is actually the 17th episode of seasooooooooooooooooon 3, not the 18th.

ah nice, look forward to more badass adventures with Task Force X. although can someone from Warner Brothers explain to me why we cant have the Suicide Squad tv series or at least a mini-series (Agent Carter-style) before theres any sign of the movies

Seriously, I get the whole point they dont want two live-action Suicide Squad teams in existence, but TECHNICALLY we dont get an official look at the Suicide Squad til a trailer around roughly the end of January 2016, so why not give us an Arrow Suicide Squad mini-series in the mean-time. At the end of the mini-series, have the Suicide Squad escape Argus and become the Arrow version of the Secret Six, away from Amanda Waller's clutches

In my idea for Season 4 of Arrow, Argus should be up to no good in Starling City, they arm Count Vertigo as the main villain for the first half of the season to distract Oliver (would be nice to see Vertigo in a big bad role) and then Amanda Waller leads Argus in nefarious deeds. Oliver eventually finds out and then the second half of the season could be Oliver attempting to bring down Argus because they have gone too far. Amanda Waller is "killed" (we dont see her body, plus it gets rid of her so they dont confuse the two live-action versions) & Argus falls, meaning they are free to be used in the movies without any confusion

that way, we get one final hurrah from the Arrow Suicide Squad before they would become the Secret Six. Plus, it would give Diggle a great arc to potentially finish out on (being connected to Argus & all), so they can get rid of his increasingly pointless presence (oh and while they are at it, give us a season of Olicity and then end it forever at the end of the season)

just some ideas, my main aim is to give the Suicide Squad/Waller/Argus one last big arc before the movie version become the dominant one

Why should the Suicide Squad movie ruin it for television's Suicide Squad... with proper promotion, they can separate the two universes in the eyes of the general audience. Also, have different members make up the core team in both television & cinema. The only main team member that will be shared is Deadshot basically, & the cinematic version will be played by Will Smith. So there's definitely a big difference with the tv version.
Look at the Flash.... It will hav about what?, 3 seasons running starring Barry Allen as the Flash, & that still hasn't stopped them from going ahead with a cinematic Barry Allen/ Flash (Ezra Miller)

@BackwardGalaxy Eat a fat one!
