I think that’s supposed to be a reference to the Charlton Comics era.

That's from the godawful L.A.W. miniseries. Avoid at all costs. I'm almost surprised/disappointed they're acknowledging it, especially since I think that Peacemaker was a different person in that series (Christopher Smith had been killed by Eclipso at that time). And Nightshade and Judomaster have since both been changed around. Guess they're looping it all into the single timeline narrative now.
Seriously, I love the Charlton characters, but DO NOT READ that mini. I'm doing you a favor, trust me.

So it looks like Waller is using the F-list expendable villains to create her own Justice League. She already has her Super person and Talon will be her stand in for Batman. Now the next piece of the puzzle is a Flash. Interesting. I hope it doesn’t just end up being the same roster as the Future State team and there are a few surprises. Like maybe she goes after Artemis or Grace for her Amazon member.
It may be Bolt she’s after but solicitations say she gets Red X....but let’s wait and see how that all plays out.
But yeah after the first two issues I’ve basically come to realize that Waller has amassed some very unknown names so that she can basically gain a power base of heavy hitters. What that will end up looking like remains to be seen.

I wonder how this would have went over if the team wasn't in a suicide squad book and had its own name?
So far this looks like fun, I'm looking at it as it's own thing, nkt a continuation of something from the past to compare it too.
And it has superboy in it, you can't go wrong with thst folks.
Created from 2 of the greatest men,made with 2 powersets thst are both SUPER,and has 2 cool asf looks and attitudes.
I think it's dumb on every level.
We the readers know it'll never come to pass
In terms of internal logic, there's no reason for the real Justice League, and their dozens of allies, to support it
And from a story telling point of view, we've already 'seen' it in Days of Future Past. Sorry, Future Slate.
I don't know why they can't just have the Squad doing secret, dirty missions
