Lawton's attack on the Dark Knight ultimately ends with his arrest, leaving him in a similar situation as DuBois at the start of Gunn's loose sequel - imprisoned and taken away from his daughter. In 2016's Suicide Squad, Zoe appears early on in the film, when she confronts her father about him being a killer - a dispute confirmed by the interruption from Batman, and Deadshot's attempts at murdering him. In the comics, Zoe is driven by the separation from her father, leading her to take up archery and establish her own identity.
Other than being a trained killer, Lawton's identity has always been tied to his little girl, Zoe. In David Ayer's film, the assassin Deadshot aka Floyd Lawton (Will Smith) is a character similarly motivated by his daughter and unlike Bloodsport, Deadshot's daughter is canon in the comics. Despite staying true to the character's violent history on the pages, Gunn also seems to be going off-book by giving the deadly killer some sentimental value in the form of a daughter - something that calls back to the first Suicide Squad film from 2016. This is a direct reference to the comics, when Bloodsport is hired by Lex Luthor to assassinate Superman in John Byrne's 1987 issue Superman #4.
Waller's brief summary of DuBois' file notes that he is in prison for putting Superman in the ICU by shooting him with a Kryptonite bullet. The mercenary does not have a daughter in the comics, but either way, he's still an outlawed killer - or at least an attempted killer. Considering Bloodsport's dangerous history, his sentimental attachment to a daughter of any kind comes as something of a surprise.
