Warner Brothers and DC Comics have released the second official trailer for their upcoming film, Suicide Squad.

The first trailer was released following its Hall H debut at San Diego Comic Con in July but now, six months later, the film is just under eight months away and David Ayer and company have cut an all-new look at the anti-hero ensemble. The trailer premiered on television during CW's Dawn of the Justice League special.

It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself?

Suicide Squad hits theaters August 5, 2016.
