The New 52
As part of the "New 52" reboot of Suicide Squad, just all previous stories with Deadshot were erased from canon meaning he was never part of the now non-existent Secret Six and was never a member of the Suicide Squad until he was recruited prior to the events of the first issue of Suicide Squad. He still has a daughter and wears a costume similar to the one worn by him in the '00s mini-series, but his son has been erased from existence; also, Deadshot no long has his trademark mustache. He is portrayed as a Batman villain and a rival of the New 52 version of Wild Dog, who is portrayed as a bounty hunting rival of Deadshot. He also is bitter enemies with Captain Boomerang, implying that the two men encountered each other as villains.
Deadshot was arrested for a failed assassination of a US Senator by Batman and sentence to life in prison. However, he is recruited to be part of Suicide Squad in exchange for early release. Deadshot is made team leader due to his skill under pressure but quickly grows disillusioned with the group after a planned visit with his daughter, his first since his arrest, is withheld from him and ultimately aborted within minutes of him reuniting with his daughter in order to send him on a mission.
During one mission, to hunt down renegade member Harley Quinn, the villainess scars Deadshot's with a knife along his upper lip. While waiting for the wound to heal, Deadshot grows back his mustache to cover up the wound. However, once the wound heals and leaves no visible scarring, Deadshot shaves off the mustache.
Deadshot ultimately sacrifices his life to kill the evil cult member Regulas, who had brainwashed most of the members of Suicide Squad and had recruited Black Spider into his group Bassilik in order to assassinate Amanda Waller.
