The CW have this weekend released the first promotional image for the impending sixteenth episode of their superhero drama Arrow. Titled Suicide Squad, the upcoming instalment will introduce a famed team of anti-heroes who frequently generate ripples across the DC comic-book universe.
This elite squad's roster of antagonists has varied considerably across the years, but with one notable constant at its helm- Amanda Waller. Last glimpsed in The CW's Superman saga Smallville, in Arrow she has been pulling the strings behind-the-scenes for some time now, her pit-stops at the residences of Starling City's incarcerated legions entailing a recruitment run for the titular gang. Within the televised version of the Squad's line-up will be Deadshot (Lone Gunmen, Dead To Rights, The Huntress Returns, Home Invasion, Keep Your Enemies Closer), Shrapnel (Blast Radius), Lyla (Diggle's ex-wife) and...Diggle himself. Suffice to say that the latter member's induction into the team is a reluctant decision, although Waller and Lyla must pose an objective which is tempting enough to convince him to temporarily co-operate with the forces of evil. All will be revealed in good time, it seems...
Arrow: Suicide Squad will air on The CW this March 19th and on Sky1 this April 3rd.
