Suicide Squad: Dream Team is a 2024 comic-book miniseries published by DC Comics. It is written by Nicole Maines and drawn by Eddy Barrows.
In her never-ending quest for power, Amanda Waller has hatched an ambitious plan to take over the island nation of Gamorra, blackmailing the heroine Dreamer into leading a team through the Dream Realm in order to get around Gamorra's security shield. During the course of the mission, Dreamer has a vision of the future, showing that a disaster will happen if Waller's plans succeed. On the other hand, if the mission fails, she may have the deaths of multiple people on her hands.
Suicide Squad: Dream Team contains examples of:
- Beware the Nice Ones: In the third issue, the Squad gets sent to Parthas to bring back Dreamer. They arrive to find that she's already knocked out a whole lot of people, which is disturbing enough, but then they realize that she can enter the heads of all those conked-out people using her powers, which effectively means she can teleport all over the place and they can't get a bead on her.
- Flying Brick: Bizarro, being a Superman clone, has super-strength and flight as part of his powers, which creates problems in the first issue when he flies off during the mission, rankled by the implication that his being on the Suicide Squad means that he's not a real hero.
- Gender-Equal Ensemble: The team is made up of three females; Dreamer, Harley and Black Alice, and three males; Deadeye, Clock King and Bizarro.
- Hidden Elf Village: Nia's family live in a secret alien refuge. Waller discovered the location and has threatened to send in the government unless Nia works for her.
- I Have Your Wife: In order to get Dreamer onboard, Waller threatens to storm a hidden enclave populated by aliens, including Nia's family.
- Knight in Sour Armor: Deadeye is bitter and cynical, but he's still trying to mitigate the damage done by his notorious aunt.
- Journey to the Center of the Mind: In order to get past Gamorra's security barrier, Waller has Dreamer lead a team through the Dream Realm.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Nia does not take it well when she discovers that her trip through the Dream Realm killed the host on the other side.
- Utopia Justifies the Means: Waller justifies all the things she's doing by arguing that somewhere down the road, her actions will actually create a better world.
