That would be a weird pick. Not that he's a bad director but because I can't imagine him directing a comic book movie. He hasn't had much good things to say about them in the past if I remember correctly.
 
Mel Gibson is the closest DCEU has ever comed to being having an accomplished director attached to anything at all.

Fucking make this happen.

Sounds like they're taking another crack at the 'Suicide Squad as a war movie' angle. My curiosity's piqued.

When I first heard David Ayer was directing Suicide Squad, I thought they'd actually be going in that angle being that the team is usually sent off by the government to do black ops missions. It seemed like a perfect fit.

Shame the end result was something completely different and worse because of it.

Mel Gibson directing Suicide Squad would totally get me in the theatre despite my disdain for everything related to the DCEU so far.

This is what I want, send them after other villains not fucking enchantress
 
Seriously though I can't see Gibson going anywhere near a super hero flick unless he had full and total control and even then I don't know if he'd do it. He has a pretty strong vision for his movies and I can't seem him trying to fit into a larger cinematic universe. He's been pretty blunt on is dislike for the latest set of super hero films but then again you never know if someone puts a big enough check in front of you.
 
I think they are just floating to see how people will react. Does Mel want back in so bad he want to dance around the fuckery of WB's office, does WB want mel that bad they want to dance around the fuckery of his bigotry?

Probably both, but more of the latter.

I honestly don't see them actually doing it. They've got enough problems as is
 
White male privilege is magical. Be utterly disgusting, wait a few years and pretend it never happened and people will spread their cheeks for you.
 
They still let Synder do what he does, these people do not learn from shit
I dunno, it's a little too early to tell on Snyder. I'll wait til Justice league to make a judgement on that but I'm not expecting much
or anything actually
Assault on Arkham

A film by Mel Gibson


day one
I actually really want them to adapt assault on Arkham with Batfleck

Like, there are so many people who won't go see a movie this dude is involved in

I'm one of em.
Yeah the backlash would be insane. I can't say I wouldn't watch it but I'd rather it just not happen.
