    Suicide Squad last edited by magicman620 on 03/30/20 08:10AM View full history

    AMANDA WALLER SENDS THE SUICIDE SQUAD OUT ON THEIR FIRST MISSION — Following Slade’s (Manu Bennett) return and his promise to make good on his threat to destroy Oliver’s (Stephen Amell) loved ones, Oliver focuses all his energy on preparing for battle with his former friend. Sarah (Caity Lotz) tries to help but, fearing for her safety, Oliver pushes her away. Meanwhile, Diggle (David Ramsey) is recruited by Amanda Waller (guest star Cynthia Addai-Robinson) and A.R.G.U.S. to stop a warlord (guest star Lee Majdoub) he knew from his time in Afghanistan. Always the soldier, Diggle agrees to help. However, he’s not prepared when Amanda introduces him to the rest of the team – Deadshot (guest star Michael Rowe), Bronze Tiger (guest star Michael Jai White) and Shrapnel (guest star Sean Maher), all criminals he and Arrow helped put away. Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) defends the team and explains the world is a complicated place, but Diggle isn’t sure he agrees. When the mission takes a dangerous turn, Diggle is forced to make a difficult decision.

    Welcome to the Suicide Squad! 0

    This was definitely one of the better Arrow episodes. It was well done, I love how they introduced the "Suicide Squad", and how Diggle was in the spotlight. "Diggle-rific", is what I'd call it. I especially liked Deadshot's portrayal, we learn more about his life, and in the end Diggle and him have somewhat of a better relationship. I definitely recommend this episode, you don't want to skip it!...

    Task Force? More like a Squad 0

    When Sony announced that part of their “All Spider-man all the time” plan included a Sinister Six film (Drew Goddard writing), the initial reaction was “how do you make that work?” The Sinister Six is a team of villains bent on the destruction of Spider-man, not exactly a baby face move.Meet the SquadDuring the Legends miniseries, writer John Ostrander reintroduced the Suicide Squad aka Task Force X.
