If you’re unfamiliar with the genre known as “Isekai”, it normally revolves around a protagonist being transported from their world into a world that is fit to bursting with magic and mystery. Of course, the Suicide Squad is anything but your normal protagonists, though it seems as though the DC villains will find themselves in a world similar to that of Sword Art Online, Overlord, Rising of The Shield Hero, and many more. The Squad isn’t the only comic book villains that are set to appear, as the upcoming anime will feature the Joker, albeit a very different-looking iteration than what many are used to seeing. The Clown Prince of Crime’s role in the series remains a mystery.

Japan and Wit Studio, Suicide Squad ISEKAI.
