DC Announces Suicide Squad Isekai Anime Series By WIT Studio

At Anime Expo 2023, WIT Studio (the studio behind Vinland Saga Season 2, Ranking Of Kings, Spy X Family and more) and Warner Bros. Japan officially announced a Suicide Squad Isekai anime series.

The anime project will be directed by Eri Osada, with screenplays from Tappei Nagatsuki (Re: ZERO – Starting Life in Another World) and Eiji Umehara (Vivy – Fluorite Eye’s Song).

Staff for the Suicide Squad ISEKAI project also includes Akira Amano, who illustrated the visual and is working on draft character designs, Naoto Hosoda on main character designs, and Kenichiro Suehiro on music composition.

The only confirmed DC Comics characters confirmed as seen in the teaser so far are Harley Quinn, the Joker and Amanda Waller, as well as a green giant that might be Killer Croc.

The synopsis reads:

DC’s Harley Quinn, the Joker, and The Suicide Squad rampage onto the stage of ISEKAI* in the new original anime series from Warner Bros. Japan and Wit Studio, Suicide Squad ISEKAI. The most maddening worlds collide in an epic and violent fantasy with the strongest line-up of anime creators!

*ISEKAI means “another world”, which is now one of the most popular genres for Japanese anime.
