I was genuinely surprised by this movie! It's chock-full of DC Comics action!
Deadshot, Harley Quinn, King Shark, Captain Boomerang, Black Spider and Killer Frost make up Amanda Waller's group of villains known as the Suicide Squad.
They are tasked with breaking into Arkham Asylum to recover vital information stolen by the Riddler. To ensure they do as they're told, Waller has small explosive chips implanted in their necks. At the slightest hint of rebelliousness she can activate their chips remotely and blow their heads into a million pieces.
While they break into Arkham, Batman is preoccupied with trying to locate a dirty bomb that the Joker hid before being sent to Arkham.
You would think that having so many villains work together would be a terrible idea but for the most part they work well together. I guess the threat of death can be a very powerful motivator.
Once they get inside Arkham and locate the Riddler, they realize Amanda Waller has set them up to take the fall for something far more sinister.
The action sequences are really intricate and well thought out. I also like how accurately each villain is portrayed. I give a big thumbs up to each voice actor! They really gave it their all.
On a scale of 1 tamale to 10 tamales I give Batman: Assault on Arkham 7.7 tamales!
(I wonder if Batman likes tamales.)

I enjoyed this movie as well. Harley Quinn is one of my favorites.
