Suicide Squad
Belle Reve is a maximal - security prison used to put up supervillains in the DC Universe , traditionally acting as Amanda Waller ’s enlisting puddle for theSuicide Squad . Belle Reve has largely replaced Arkham Asylum in the pages of DC Comics as the main deftness to send super - criminals , and has at times held such hard slugger as the Joker , Lex Luthor , Enchantress , Ocean Master , and other super powerful DC villains . Overseen by Amanda Waller , Belle Reve is also the home of Task Force X , otherwise love as the Suicide Squad . As most DC fan are aware , the prison house is used to assemble black ops teams for nearly - impossible missions . These missions have a eminent mortality rate and are often morally dubious in nature .
Belle Reve first appeared in the Page of 1987’sSuicide Squad # 1by John Ostrander and Luke McDonnell . The prison house is located in Louisiana and was at one metre a plantation owned by Isaiah DuBois , which was sold after his death due to the financial hardship of his heirs . If this vocalise conversant , it ’s because it bears more than a passing resemblance to a major plot point inA Streetcar Named Desire .

In the far-famed 1947 Tennessee Williams diddle , and the Oscar - winning 1951movie starring Marlon Brando , Belle Reve is a plantation owned by the DuBois family until Blanche lose it in foreclosure after her Church Father ’s expiry . The name Belle Reve translate to " Beautiful Dream , " which inA Streetcar Named Desirerepresents the DuBois mob ’s flawed aspiration of the Antebellum South . Belle Reve is a memory seen through rose - colored glasses , beautiful on the aerofoil , but built on unacknowledged pain and suffering . At one meter opulent , but now lost to decay and severity , Belle Reve is a beautiful dream cloak an ugly the true - a truth that is ignored because the fantasy is easier and less painful to think . This analogy of the blemished dream strikes at the pump of John Ostrander ’s original run onSuicide Squad .
As inA Streetcar Named Desire , DC ’s Belle Reve is a fantasy progress on botheration , excruciation , and death . While ARGUS and Amanda Waller engage in the " Beautiful Dream " of saving the world , they are not just blind to the fact that many of their missionary post really just cause more harm and pandemonium , but unforced to overlook the suffering and immorality aright at the core of their preferred labor . Belle Reve is a coverfor theSuicide Squad ’s true reach and purpose , but it ’s also the site of unbelievable nuisance and distress carried out in the name of empower America , hence the blatant reference to the thought present inA Streetcar Named Desire .
