Warner Bros. Japan has released a new trailer for the upcoming DC anime series Suicide Squad ISEKAI, and this looks like it’s going to be a wild and bonkers series! This is definitely a unique DC project, and it comes from Warner Bros. Japan LLC and WIT Studio (Spy x Family, Ranking of Kings).
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.”
Nagasaki previously said: “It is finally announced, Suicide Squad ISEKAI. ISEKAI! Suicide Squad! Who has ever thought about mixing these two!? But this is sure to be a dream project. Crazy villains go on a rampage in ISEKAI! It’s nothing more, nothing less, and it can’t be anything else!”

Amano said of working on the series: “I’m a big fan of Harley Quinn and the other characters in the Suicide Squad movie! Eri Osada’s clear vision for Harley’s design made the process smoother than expected, and I enjoyed drawing her costume and muscles while imagining her action-packed adventures in the story.”
Umehara added, “What would happen if the fascinating characters of DC Comics went to another world? I am honored to be involved in a work with such a boyish and straightforward idea. I drew a variety of villains with one goal in mind; to make Harley look cute! I hope you will join me in enjoying and enlivening this World.”
