One day, he was being taken to a therapy session where he attempted to escape. Lawton was being held in a top secret facility until a mission was ready for him. His most frequent contractor was the Penguin, who only took the best when it came to assaassins. Lawton was allowed some freelance time out of prison while working for the Suicide Sqaud. Deadshot was recruited along with Bronze Tiger by Amanda Waller to join the Suicide Squad.īetween Origins Blackgate and Assault on Arkham Batman eventually rushed close enough to Deadshot to make him resort to his wrist-mounted firearms instead of his sniper rifle, which ultimately ended with Batman using his Line Launcher to knock Deadshot out, break both his wrist guns, and left his body out on the cold, snow covered roof of the outside of the facility.Īfter the prison was raided by ARGUS and the everything was under control, Captain Rick Flag snuck Lawton out and put him in a helicopter. After he was told to secure all hostiles at Blackgate, Deadshot stumbled upon the Dark Knight himself and went into a duel with him. While he was there, he was placed in the medical wing and his arms were placed in casts.Īfter having his broken arms healed, Deadshot was hired by Black Mask, The Joker, and the Penguin to guard them (although as all three of the mob bosses hated each other, he kept this tidbit a secret from them), so he got triple pay for the same job. He was promptly sent to Blackgate Prison to await trial. Deadshot seemed to accept his fate and told Batman to kill him quickly, but Batman refused, and instead left him for the police.ĭeadshot was arrested for multiple counts of murder, one count of kidnapping, and one count of attempted murder. After taking out Deadshot's goons while avoiding the laser sights on his guns, Batman saved the hostage, defeated the assassin, and broke both of his arms in the process. Batman traced the shot back to a nearby radio tower and discovered numbers on the shell casing that was left behind, which he quickly decoded on his Cryptographic Sequencer to find a message from Deadshot that said that he was waiting for him at the Gotham Merchant's Bank, had taken a hostage, and that he was prepared to use his "very itchy trigger finger."ĭeadshot getting his arms broken by Batman at the Gotham Merchant's Bankīatman then went to his destination, where he found Deadshot and several of his men along with the hostage. Batman initially thought that the SWAT Sniper was the one who shot down the helicopter, but after scanning the crime scene, he discovered that the cop was killed by a ricochet from the same round that took down the helicopter, which lead him to conclude that only Deadshot could have done it. He ricocheted a shot through the back of a SWAT Sniper who was aiming at Batman and into the tail rotor of a police chopper, which made it spin out of control and crash. In the video feed that Batman took from Penguin's drone, Deadshot was seen being interrupted in an assassination by four cops, all of whom he murdered with one shot by ricocheting his bullet through them and off of a riot shield that one of them was carrying.Īt the Bowery, Deadshot appeared, and stopped the police from apprehending Batman in an attempt to murder him personally. He also "saved" Batman from one of the other assassins, Deathstroke, due to wanting to be the one to get the money, some time before the events proper. ![]() A portion of the money from his contracts always went to her.Īt the age of 27, Deadshot was one of the eight assassins hired by The Joker (who was disguised as Black Mask) to kill Batman for fifty million dollars on Christmas Eve. When his daughter was born, he decided that she came before any job. In addition, a GCPD bulletin also indicated that Deadshot was the primary suspect of several murders and assassinations relating to complex bullet trajectories, with an extensive enough record to involve Federal and even INTERPOL investigations on him.Īt some point, he had a daughter named Zoe. By the time he took the hit on Batman, he had six counts of murder in the first degree, including the assassination of at least one government official, and his medical records and associates were heavily redacted as well, only leaving speculation of his possessing clinical depression. The root of this reckless behavior was believed to be to Deadshot's guilt over his accidental killing of his brother, an act that permanently unbalanced him. However, Deadshot gained a reputation for taking unnecessary risks in his work, and was discharged from the Army.
