“What would happen if the fascinating characters of DC Comics went to another world?” Warner Bros Japan + DC have revealed the first look teaser trailer for a new DC anime creation called Suicide Squad Isekai. This big announcement is a reveal of a new project from Japan’s Wit Studio, taking many of the popular DC Comics characters and giving them another update in another universe. The term “isekai” is a Japanese word that means “another world.” Additionally: “It’s more widely considered a staple genre of anime and east Asian storytelling, with a huge list of tropes and conventions attached.” The anime was just revealed in this announcement, without any release date included though it’s expected to be out before the end of the year. No voice cast or other actors have been announced, only the filmmaking team involved (listed below). The most exciting news for DC fans is that Harley Quinn and The Joker are featured in this, as well as Suicide Squad’s Amanda Waller – plus dragons and knights and more strange creatures. Have fun.
