A trailer announces Suicide Squad Isekai, an anime about Harley Quinn and the Joker. Many fans are surprised at the news, but are already praising the style of the new series.
Suicide Squad Isekai will result from a collaboration between Warner Bros. Japan and WIT Studio. The Japanese anime studio is already known for productions such as Attack on Titan or Spy x Family.
Joker sidekick Harley Quinn, who is in the foreground in the trailer and the Twitter announcement from DC, will probably take on a present role in the series.
Here’s the trailer for Suicide Squad Isekai:

What does the trailer show? Isekai means “other world” in Japanese and refers to an anime genre in which characters are thrown into an alien environment and learn to survive there.
Accordingly, in addition to the well-known, gloomy Gotham environment, the trailer also shows how Harley and Joker are drawn into a magical world in which there are dragons and pig-human hybrids.
How is the community reacting? On YouTube, many users reacted positively to the Suicide Squad: Isekai announcement trailer. One is particularly surprised about the cooperation between Warner Bros and the Japanese animation studio.
You wouldn’t have expected the mixture of fantasy and superheroes in this form either. Still, they praise the art style and some say they will watch the anime as soon as it comes out:
Others are also wondering where the rest of the Suicide Squad is, since the trailer only shows the two characters Harley Quinn and Joker.
