In this final blog about the Baltimore Comic-Con, we're highlighting a group of attendees who made great costumes from the current movie "Suicide Squad." While dressed as Green Lantern, I (Rob) love getting pics with others in costume. This was a treat.
Suicide Squad is a 2016 American superhero film based on the DC Comics antihero team of the same name.
WHAT IS \THE SUICIDE SQUAD- In
Suicide Squad, a secret government agency led by
Amanda Waller recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions and save the world from a powerful threat, in exchange for leaner sentences.

L to R: Green Lantern (Rob), Rick Flag, Katana, Enchantress, Harley Quinn, the Joker |
WHO ARE THE SUICIDE SQUAD MEMBERS? - Ther elite
hitman Deadshot, former
psychiatrist Harley Quinn,
pyrokinetic ex-
gangster El Diablo, opportunistic thief
Captain Boomerang, genetic mutation
Killer Croc, and specialized assassin
Slipknot. They are placed under command of Colonel
Rick Flag
to be used as disposable assets in high-risk missions for the United
States government. Each member has a nano bomb implanted in their neck,
designed to detonate should any member rebel or try to escape.
One of Waller's intended recruits is Flag's girlfriend Dr.
June Moone, an archaeologist possessed by a witch-goddess known as the "Enchantress." The Joker was also in the the movie but not a member of the Squad. He's Harley Quinn's boyfriend! Katana, pictured here in the group is also Not a member of the Squad - she's actually a japanese superhero who was brought in to help keep all the criminals in line.
