A part of me wants to say that what Englehart and Rogers did here was more impressive than actually creating Deadshot. Love when creators throw back to some decades old story and it turns out great. Huge W for continuity🙏. Deadshot’s costume seems so ahead of its time. Ive read a decent amount of comics from the 70s and can’t remember off the top of my head something like this. The scenes b more
Deadshot escapes from prison and goes after the Dark Knight!
