Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} * [[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene]]: The subplot about the two Doctors Light and the demon torturing them. * [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Amanda Waller staring down Batman is probably the big one (loosely adapted into the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' cartoon with Waller offhandedly calling him "rich boy"), but the gradual reveal of Oracle proved to be the one with the most disproportionate effect on the DCU. For perspective, following her crippling, Barbara Gordon had been all but written out of the Bat-books and the DCU in general, and most people remembered her as Yvonne Craig in the Batman TV show from the 60s. After this, Oracle's become big enough to get her own bad TV show, several comic series, repeat Justice League memberships, and inspired the resurrection of a cheesy villain named the Calculator just to be her evil counterpart. She's generally considered one of the sexiest women in the DCU, and it's primarily for her personality and mind. Amanda Waller herself was a walking mine of awesome moments. Laughing off as her rebellious subordinate desperately held a gun to her face, and ''daring'' him to shoot. Utterly crushing Kobra's Janus Directive plans. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|Easily mending the relationship between her son-in-law and her daughter by force of pure, unadulterated]] [[Sassy Black Woman~~\|Sassy Black Womanhood~~]]hood. Shattering the Thinker helmet counts. To wit, she's destroying a powerful piece of technology simply because it made her ''doubt'' if she was in charge of her life. The [[Pie in the Face\|Mad Pie Thrower]]. Line 11: * [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Count Vertigo and Kanto wind up fighting each other in Issue 35, which is funny considering that both characters would later be voiced by Michael York in the [[DCAU]] shows (the former appearing in an episode of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' and the latter in an episode of ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]''). * [[Replacement Scrappy]]: The 2011 Squad reboot in general, in the eyes of many [[Secret Six]] fans. * [[Rescued ~~From~~from the Scrappy Heap]]: The guy's name is Captain Boomerang, for crying out loud, yet he's one of a handful of characters to survive the whole series while going on most every mission, even ones where his teammates actively try to kill him. ** Of course. His name is Captain Boomerang. He always comes back. * [[Tainted by the Preview]]: The New 52 reboot of Suicide Squad didn't make the best first impression. A lot of the people who would have eagerly supported such a book were put off by [[Secret Six]] getting cancelled seemingly to be replaced by the new Squad, and the new costumes (particularly for Harley Quinn) were... not well-recieved. Since the book officially launched, it has attracted a fair share of negative buzz for its gratuitous violence, characterizations that seem a bit off, and Amanda Waller's slimming-up. {{reflist}} [[Category:Suicide Squad]]▼ [[Category:YMMV]] ▲[[Category:~~Suicide Squad~~{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]
