Batman has broken Deadshot out of Belle Reve! Now the Dark Knight and the assassin who never misses have a new mission: rescue Deadshot's daughter! The squad takes on Batman...and Deadshot? Batman. You've probably heard of him. Dresses like a bat. Hates criminals. Hates guns. Then there's Deadshot, the world's most accurate and deadly assassin. Loves guns. Practically is a gun. So why would Batman break into Belle Reve Prison, sneak Deadshot out from under Amanda Waller's nose, and bring the whole Suicide Squad down on both of them? Well, Deadshot's teenage daughter has been kidnapped by the reptilian death cult Kobra, who want to transform her into their new leader to take revenge on her dad. And if Batman is going to rescue her, it has to be with Deadshot's help...as long as the assassin agrees not to kill anyone while they're teamed up. Of course, killing people is Deadshot's thing. Then there's the small matter that while Batman is tracking Kobra, the Suicide Squad and their new field leader Captain Cold are tracking Batman. When everyone converges and the bullets and freeze rays start flying, will Deadshot be able to become the hero Batman wants him to be to rescue his daughter? Or will Batman end up in the Suicide Squad with a bomb in his brain? Writer Rob Williams (Justice League Vs. Suicide Squad) and a team of talented artists present the final chapter for the Suicide Squad! Collects issues #41-44, #47-50, and Annual #1.

'Richly documented and convincingly presented' -- New Society Mods and Rockers, skinheads, video nasties, designer drugs, bogus asylum seeks and hoodies. Every era has its own moral panics. It was Stanley Cohen's classic account, first published in the early 1970s and regularly revised, that brought the term 'moral panic' into widespread discussion. It is an outstanding investigation of the way in which the media and often those in a position of political power define a condition, or group, as a threat to societal values and interests. Fanned by screaming media headlines, Cohen brilliantly demonstrates how this leads to such groups being marginalised and vilified in the popular imagination, inhibiting rational debate about solutions to the social problems such groups represent. Furthermore, he argues that moral panics go even further by identifying the very fault lines of power in society. Full of sharp insight and analysis, Folk Devils and Moral Panics is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand this powerful and enduring phenomenon. Professor Stanley Cohen is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He received the Sellin-Glueck Award of the American Society of Criminology (1985) and is on the Board of the International Council on Human Rights. He is a member of the British Academy.
