With Assault on Arkham, DC Comics proved yet again that they should be focusing their talents on their animated films. These films are considerably better than their live action outings and allow for much for flexibility with characters. This film was amazingly simple yet really cool and exciting.
The Suicide Squad is an interchangeable team of supervillains who agree to work for the government in exchange for decreased sentences. The squad in Assault on Arkham is Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, Black Spider, Killer Frost, and the KGBeast. The voice talent in this film is amazing and it is always a treat for Kevin Conroy to voice Batman. I continue to be impressed by DC's animation team and I really wish that DC would take some cues from this one for the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. |
