Deadshot, Floyd Lawton, is a deadly DC assassin who first appeared in Batman #59 in 1950, created by David Vern Reed and Lew Sayre Schwartz, based on a concept from Bob Kane. He started as a Batman villain dressed in a tuxedo, top hat, and domino mask, but was revived and redesigned in the 1970s with his wrist-mounted guns, red targeting reticle emblem, and high-tech mask/eyepiece. He is a founding member of the Suicide Squad, the movie version of which saw him played by Will Smith. He also just appeared in the DC Next Level Deathstroke series alongside Deathblow….
DC Next Level is a 2026 DC Comics publishing initiative, described as the "second act" of the broader DC All In line-wide initiative.

Including The Demon by James Harren, but that still hasn't been announced yet…
