Amanda Waller (Arkhamverse)

Amanda Waller is the Director of the Department of Justice and the leader of a clandestine group Task Force X, also known as the Suicide Squad.

History
In the aftermath of the Joker's Blackgate prison riot, Waller paid a visit to Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke's cell. Deathstroke apparently anticipated her arrival, although she then supplied him with a clipboard requesting that he join the Suicide Squad, citing that the only alternative to working with her was to retain his prison cell when he asked of the consequences for not signing.

Three months later, Waller, alongside team captain Rick Flag, instigated the Blackgate prison from behind the scenes via a catburglar named Catwoman, contacting her anonymously with the offer of removing her criminal record in exchange for breaking out Bane. However, their plans reached an unexpected outcome when Batman arrived to deal with the prison riot and ended up entering a tedious alliance with Catwoman. Although Rick Flag suggested they abort the operation due to the risk of their involvement being exposed, Waller refused, as she saw some use in the development. While observing the prison riot, she bore witness to Bronze Tiger and Deadshot's fights with Batman, and had them recruited largely because she was impressed at how Tiger managed to nearly defeat Batman, and she wanted someone who was both a marksman and skilled at firearms, although Flag disagreed with letting the latter join due to his being emotionally unstable. Despite Catwoman failing her mission, forcing them to give Bane back to Blackgate to save face, Waller nonetheless had Catwoman's criminal record expunged as she had promised, as she succeeded in recruiting Deadshot and Bronze Tiger.
