This adult animated series delves into the world of DC Comics, spotlighting a black ops team of monsters commanded by Amanda Waller.

According to an enigmatic X user, ThwipT, whispers of leaked details are capturing attention. While ThwipT’s reliability might be dicey, this latest round feels more plausible. Notably, media outlets already tasted the series, adding credibility.
