Upon being cast as Waller, Viola Davis praised her character's strength and ability to manipulate superheroes and supervillains on a whim. Actress Viola Davis was cast to play Waller in Suicide Squad, which is set in the DC Extended Universe.
The character first appeared in Legends #1 in 1986 and was created by John Ostrander, Len Wein, and John Byrne. Amanda Waller serves intermittently as both an antagonist and an ally to the superheroes of the DC Universe. She is occasionally described as a supervillain.
Reprising their roles from the first Suicide Squad film are Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Colonel Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, and Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang.
This has put her in danger many times, as threatening her is the easiest way to manipulate her father. Zoe is raised almost exclusively by her mother, Michelle Torres. Deadshot tries to keep his daughter a secret to protect her. Her Prime Earth counterpart is also known as Liveshot.
Waller is not motivated by money, greed, or world domination, but is instead driven by what she sees as 'the greater good' for her country, and she is willing to do anything to achieve her goals.
Amanda Waller is introduced in Suicide Squad as an FBI official in charge of A.R.G.U.S.. She is shown to be in contact with vigilantes such as Bruce Wayne / Batman, to whom she provides intelligence in order for him to apprehend criminals such as Floyd Lawton / Deadshot.
Arrogance: Amanda Waller's greatest weakness (ironically much like for Enchantress) is her overconfidence and arrogance, with Waller believing that since she has seemingly perfect leverage over everyone she wishes to control, that this makes her supremely powerful.
Waller was also aware of Batman's identity of Bruce Wayne after she was informed by Iman Avesta, using this information as leverage for his cooperation. She also tried to hide information about her activities from Batman, though he would eventually discover her and his true motives.
Leota was born the daughter of Amanda Waller, the director of A.R.G.U.S.. At the age of 14, Leota managed to achieve a Binks-Fendelmire Strategic Combat Certification. At some point on her adulthood she met and then married Keeya Adebayo, taking her wife's surname as her own.
Powerful and merciless leader figure whose name will strike fear into the hearts of the villains. Original founder of the Suicide Squad and head of A.R.G.U.S. She is willing to sacrifice the lives of the villains to achieve her purpose.
Waller has a long-standing rivalry with Batman with her being one of the few individuals he truly fears, along with being one of the few people to have found out his secret-identity.
Luthor is actually killed by the brainwashed Flash, but it's later revealed that he was collaborating with his counterpart from Earth-2. Earth-2 Luthor crosses over to Earth-1 and becomes the Squad's most valuable asset in the ramp-up to battling Brainiac.
Origins. Amanda Blake grew up in the crime-ridden Cabrini-Green area of Chicago. At the age of 18 she married the 20-year-old Joseph Waller, and they quickly had a large family together. Her first child was Joe, Jr., then Damita, then the twins Martin and Jessie, and then her youngest child Coretta.
The Justice League went after her, and Amanda Waller informed them that Ace would soon perish from a fatal aneurysm. Furthermore, the psychic backlash would kill everyone within her power range, so Waller gave them a device to kill Ace.
Waller met James Gordon at some point, developing a somewhat antagonistic relationship. She also became aware of the vigilante Batman and eventually learned his true identity, Bruce Wayne, from one of her agents. This gave Waller leverage over the vigilante, allowing her to blackmail his cooperation.
Batman is the only member of the Justice League that Waller felt a genuine respect and even admiration for, noting that it wasn't his willpower or brilliant mind that earned it; it was Bruce's empathy and ability to connect and save those who were hurting and broken just like he was.
Amanda is high-ranking government official, without any official military rank. Or at least none that we know off. The only title I remember she was referred to was “director”. Or simply “boss”.
Ultimately, however, with quite a bit of visible effort, Deadshot realizes his unwillingness to betray his moral code of not murdering women, as well as his friendship with Harley (most likely also due to him realizing that Zoe wouldn't have ever approved of the circumstances of such a permanent reunion if she knew), ...
