Having Rick Flagg, Enchantress, Deadshot, and Boomerang on the team, and looking at the actors they might cast for Amanda Waller shows that they're looking at Ostrander's run for inspiration. That's damn good news.

 

[BigJonsson]

So who is the big bad gonna be? Is there one?

I hadn't heard of the Suicide Squad until recently

Spoiler

They stealing kryptonite from Wayne Enterprises, so uh Batman is the big bad I guess

Geoff Johns tweeted people should read Ostrander's run in response to the casting

My face when suicide squad leads right into batman vs superman

Makes sense

 

[Prompto]

Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer would be perfectly fine but I'm hoping Oprah gets the role just for the absurdity of it. Oprah, a billionaire former talk show host, in a comicbook movie. I bet she would be great too.

They work in the government's interest, so pretty much anyone including the justice league could be their opponents.

 

[Alienous]

I feel like Will Smith more than has the Deadshot voice. I'm surprised there's no Deathstroke.

 

[Sojgat]

Got to save something for the sequel.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

I hope they cast Jai for the soul purpose of killing him quickly.

 

[DaveH]

If these are the characters then I'm more pleased with this lineup than the Latino Review rumor. These are more grounded, powerless characters meaning the story will have to tend to be plot, character, & action driven rather than visual effects. With the possible exception of Enchantress but it depends on how they play her.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pull

Spoiler

a switcheroo with the mask and Wil Smith is actually the Joker

Lol no

 

[Slayven]

Just reminded they missed an opportunity for not having King Shark.

 

[chronos86]

Can you imagine how many Florida moms are going to be in an uproar over a movie with the word "Suicide" in it. Theres going to be petitions saying this movie promotes/glorifies suicide and all kind of other ridiculous BS.

They're going to introduce magic no matter what, and not write it of as Ultra Advanced Tech like in the MCU.

 

[ryseing]

That is a great cast, but man I was hoping for Deathstroke to be a part of this.

I'd even be fine with no Manu. Just put Deathstroke on the team.

 

[LaNaranja]

Ryan Gosling would have been way more interesting if they could have gotten a hold of him. Also the lack of Deathstroke is disappointing. Oh well, I will be there opening weekend regardless.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So is Floyd the most (first?) evil character Smith has ever played? I hope he can dig down and channel Mike Lowry.

 

[m_shortpants]

Oh man that cast.

Leto has the biggest shoes to fill.

Recasting Hardy is bold but I guess no one really saw his entire face in TKDR.

He played the devil for like two seconds in Winters Tale if that counts.

Probably confirmed before, heck I probably commented on it before

But today's announcement also confirmed that David Ayer is writing the script so no longer the dude who did the Legend of Chun-Li!

 

[DaveH]

Yeah, but magic doesn't have to be visual effects driven, if she's a mentalist, diviner, etc... as I said, depending on how they play her.

Looking at his filmography , this kind movie seems right up his alley

 

[pyros]

I don't care about the colour of the actor, but, I really hope they don't mess with the deadshot costume to give more face time to a A-lister

 

[Hours Left]

I don't know how I feel about this cast. Hmm... :/

 

[Etzer]

I want this to happen.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Wait, what's the suicide squad... and why is Joker a part of their team? Or is he their antagonist too?

Probably be the main villain like he was in the Suicide Squad DTV.

 

[The Shogun]

That is a pretty damn insane cast. Will Smith, Jared Leto, and Tom Hardy all in leading roles?

I'll be there day 1 baby

 

[ericexpo]

waiting for ryan scott to sound it on this one

 

[Kinyou]

I want this to happen.

I wonder if Oprah will cut her hair. Waller with long hair might be weird

 

[SamuelSupreme]

Everyone who did not watch Assault on Arkham, you need to do so ASAP.

This! I'm hoping we get an Assault on Arkham type of vibe (Minus The Batman). That movie seemed to be the perfect blend of what DC would need to go up against GOTG

 

[Sojgat]

I don't care about the colour of the actor, but, I really hope they don't mess with the deadshot costume to give more face time to a A-lister

Deadshot is always pulling his mask up to smoke. Perfect excuse to show the star's face more.

Nightmare scenario?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Man i'd be so happy if Joker is just the big bad of this movie then has an Under the Red Hood style minor antagonist role in a solo Batman movie.
That way WB can have the Joker hype but also do villains that haven't been done to death.
I'd really like to see Red Hood, Shiva, Riddler, Talia, Ivy, Clayface and maybe Hush done well.

 

[Sojgat]

Everyone who did not watch Assault on Arkham, you need to do so ASAP.

Eh, it's alright. It really bugged me how stupid Batman was in the movie. Just completely out of character.

Spoiler

He lets multiple prison guards die to maintain his disguise... for no reason.

I would also suggest people watch JLU episode 204 "Task Force X".

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I hope Deadshot has a cool outfit. Didn't dig the one on Smallville or Arrow

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Eh, it's alright. It really bugged me how stupid Batman was in the movie. Just completely out of character.

That kinda fit Arkham Batman though.
Dude isn't the brightest version of Batman

People gonna hate but I actually really like

Batman and The Joker were the worst part of the movie.. oddly

Are you calling the player dumb? =)

Smith is going to have to be bloody good for me not to see nice old unthreatening clown Will Smith.

LOL, na Batman in Arkham has 1 game as a rookie and then 2 where he is just being circle jerked by Joker the entire game.

 

[Sojgat]

Well, I guess he does get knocked out a lot in the Arkham games. Concussions add up.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Just reminded they missed an opportunity for not having King Shark.

King Shark was the perfect archetype of the brute strength villain with no smarts and who gets scared by the silliest stuff.

Not bad imo

You can tell I'm doing, uhhhh, "research".

Is this part of the DCCU? Or is it like Shazam? I thought I heard it was separate.

 

[Trojita]

lol wut.

 

[Gambit 1138]

I have a hard time picturing goofy nice guy will smith playing a grizzled assassin on a black ops mission.

They are all part of the DC Cinematic Universe
