More "Arrow: Suicide Squad"

Sneak Peek more footage from The CW's upcoming "Arrow" episode "Suicide Squad", written by Keto Shimizu, Bryan Q. Miller and directed by Larry Teng, airing March 19, 2014, as 'AmandaWaller' sends the 'Suicide Squad' out on their first mission:

"...following the return of 'Slade' (Manu Bennett) and his promise to make good on his threat to destroy the loved ones of 'Oliver', Oliver focuses all his energy on preparing for battle with his former friend. 'Sarah' (Caity Lotz) tries to help but, fearing for her safety, Oliver pushes her away. Meanwhile, 'Diggle' (David Ramsey) is recruited by 'Amanda Waller' (Cynthia Addai-Robinson and 'A.R.G.U.S.' to stop a warlord (Lee Majdoub) he knew from his time in Afghanistan. 

"Always the soldier, Diggle agrees to help. However, he’s not prepared when Amanda introduces him to the rest of the team – 'Deadshot' (Michael Rowe), 'Bronze Tiger' (Michael Jai White) and 'Shrapnel' (Sean Maher), all criminals he and Arrow helped put away. 

"'Lyla' (Audrey Marie Anderson) defends the team and explains the world is a complicated place, but Diggle isn’t sure he agrees. When the mission takes a dangerous turn, Diggle is forced to make a difficult decision..."

"The Suicide Squad", aka "Task Force X", debuted in DC Comics' "The Brave and the Bold" (vol. 1) #25 (1959), then revived in DC's "Legends" #3 (1987). The current 'Suicide Squad', created by John Ostrander is an anti-hero team of incarcerated super-villains who act as assets for the US government, undertaking high-risk black ops missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences.

The group operates out of 'Belle Reve Penitentiary', under the command of government agent 'Dr. Amanda Blake Waller'.

Nicknamed 'The Wall', Waller is a former congressional aide and government handler often placed in charge of the Squad.

She later served as 'Secretary of Metahuman Affairs' under US President 'Lex Luthor' before being arrested...
