Caught this yesterday (or the day before). Wow. DC does great animated work and this is their most mature presentation yet (even moreso than the Flashpoint Paradox). It's mistitled actually, as it should be titled Suicide Squad: Assault on Arkham with special guest Batman, but it doesn't matter. Deadshot handles the heavy lifting anti-hero duties with his ragtag squad of misfits, including the delightful Harley Quinn who shines.
Brought together by a secret government program the Suicide Squad must break into Arkham to obtain info hidden in the Riddler's cane. We get to see the denizens of Gotham in a different light...
And, oh yeah, Batman (Kevin Conroy) makes a couple of appearances and the Joker is awesome (not Mark Hamill, but an excellent impersonation of his version) with great lines.
I admit to a mild fondness for Captain Boomerang, as back in the 70's I kept getting his collectible Slurpee cup (and freaking Lightning Lad...but never a legit hero...)
Gritty, and living up to it's PG-13 rating...this one is not for the kids...
