The DC Universe is traveling to Earth-3 for the Suicide Squad, The Flash, and Teen Titans Academy March 2022 crossover event War for Earth-3. The story picks up on developments in Suicide Squad and Teen Titans Academy where Amanda Waller sent members of Task Force X to Earth-3 in order to recruit/steal metahumans.
