Based on the Arkham Asylum series of video games, "Batman: Assault on Arkham" pits the Dark Knight (Kevin Conroy) vs. the Suicide Squad and, ultimately, the Joker.
One familiar narrative is Joker's on-again-off-again relationship with Harley Quinn (Hynden Walch, Teen Titans Go!), such that the Clown Prince of Crime (Troy Baker, doing an amazing mimic of Mark Hamill's characterization), takes advantage of Harley's attempt to kill him.....!
As for the Squad, Deadshot (Neal McDonough, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow) is the field leader, and the object of Harley's affections, such that they actually get busy in one scene. They also tease a relationship between King Shark (John DiMaggio) and Killer Frost II (Louise Lincoln, voiced by Jennifer Hale), but, well, you'd have to see it for yourself.
CCH Pounder reprises her role as Amanda Waller from Justice League Unlimited. Waller isn't exactly a saint here, and DC would rather it be that way.
Here's the trailer:
Rating: A-.
