A trailer announces the anime ‘Suicide Squad Isekai’ featuring Harley Quinn and the Joker. Many fans are surprised by the news, but praise the style of the new series.
Suicide Squad Isekai will be the result of a collaboration between Warner Bros. Japan and WIT Studio. The Japanese anime studio is known for productions like Attack on Titan and Spy x Family.
A prominent role in the series will likely be taken by Joker’s sidekick Harley Quinn, who is featured in both the trailer and the Twitter announcement from DC.

Harley Quinn and the Suicide Squad invade a fantasy world
What does the trailer show? Isekai means “another world” in Japanese and refers to an anime genre where characters are thrown into a foreign environment and learn to survive there.
Accordingly, the trailer shows not only the familiar, dark Gotham setting but also how Harley and Joker are transported to a magical world filled with dragons and pig-human hybrids.
How does the community react? On YouTube, many users have a positive reaction to the announcement trailer for Suicide Squad: Isekai. They are particularly surprised by the collaboration between Warner Bros. and the Japanese animation studio.
They also did not expect the combination of fantasy and superheroes. Nonetheless, they praise the art style, and some say they will watch the anime as soon as it’s released:
Others, however, wonder where the rest of the Suicide Squad is, as only the two characters Harley Quinn and Joker are visible in the trailer.
- daophuongvyuyen2161: ‘The art style looks amazing, and the idea of combining Suicide Squad and Isekai is quite bizarre, but it’s worth waiting for.’
- @susyguy4758: ‘This is the collaboration I never expected.’
- @solacee4327: ‘I’m really looking forward to it, but I need to see more, the concept is appealing to me. But where’s the squad? You can’t have a Suicide Squad without a squad.’
- @Visual_Y: ‘I never thought I would see a Suicide Squad anime, but I’m all in.’
