So What Is Suicide Squad, Anyway?

[Moeez]

Amanda Waller was such a great character in the JL cartoons. The Batman Beyond epilogue had me in nearly tears.

 

[octafish]

Aww not bloody Boomer. Digger is Boomerang, he is cowardly, morally bankrupt, and a cold hearted killer that everyone dismisses as a joke. Boomer is a stock DC good guy. Boring McBore-Bore.

Movie will suck now.

 

[JCAll]

Aside from not thinking the Joker belongs in the Suicide Squad, it has a great cast.

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

Wait, Will Smith is Deadshot? Like "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" Will Smith?

That's certainly...interesting.

The more I think about it, the more I think its a good idea. Smith has an almost unearthly charm and charisma that makes him highly likeable in pretty much anything (we will ignore After Earth...) and if you're going to make a killer for hire with hundreds of deaths to his name one of the protagonists of your movie then he better be a really damn likeable killer for hire. With Smith as Deadshot we will want to root for him, no matter what despicable things he does

 

[Vault101]

the idea of Oprah playing Waller feels similar to the idea of Schwarzenegger playing Mr. Freeze.

So... yeah, as much as I love Harley getting on screen and a new Joker coming soon, I'll pass if Oprah gets cast. I can handle a big name like Will Smith because he's at least a good actor. But can we avoid big names for more roles if they aren't actors... or even good actors? Just get people who fit the roles well. Learn your lessons from the problems in the original run of Batman films WB.

you do realise she WAS an actor?

ok ok It was a surprise to me too (Color purple, she played sofia) but there ya go

Harley Quinn maybe bi-sexual with Poison Ivy?
Didn't know that. So is Poison Ivy also bi, then?
Since I am pretty sure she loves to hit on Batman and other men, no?

So was Schwarzenegger. It didn't help.

It's going to be interesting to see how Leto's vision of the Clown Prince of Crime is received, given how fresh the late Heath Ledger's iconic take still is in the minds of many fans.

Batman Begins was nearly a decade ago. I don't think that really counts as fresh any more.

Ivy hit's on men but only to manipulate them. Really shes an unconfirmed Lesbain since her fling with Harley Quinn is the only relationship she has ever had.

Poison Ivy even made Harley Quinn immune to her toxins (which also gave Quinn some superhuman durablity) so they could get intimate without Quinn dying.

So, who do you think will die in this movie? A recurring theme of Suicide Squad (hence the name) is that they can off some members during the mission just to prove the stakes got real. That is also the reason why they include B or C list villains nobody will miss: as a rule of thumb, if you can't name who this guy is or who is his nemesis, chances are he is not going to make it...

My money is on Enchantress.

That is not technically true. The Ivy/Quinn romantic relationship was created by fans, and the writers just let it be (and occasionally play around with).

Ivy made Quinn immune to her toxins so they could live in the wasteland swamp that was her HQ. Quinn being immune being the only way she could survive for more than a few hours.

Unlike Ahnold, Oprah is actually an excellent actress. Again... oscar-nominated.

...and Ledger wasn't in Batman Begins, so what's your point?

 

[Souplex]

We all know Yvette Nicole Brown is the perfect fit to play Amanda Waller. (Watch Repo Men if you need proof)

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Ivy always seemed more bi for Catwoman than Harley.

I guess I'm a Python fan first...

Doesn't change my point I don't want to see her in the film.

I'm doubting Joker is gonna be on the team. He'll probably be the antagonist, or seen in lock-up in Arkham. He's a terrible candidate for the Squad.

 

[ScreamingViking]

I sincerely hope they go with the old fat Amanda Waller rather then the toothpick thin supermodel she got recast as.

 

[Xskills]

On the issue of Joker, fridge logic says it should be either a Hannibal Lecter-style caged beast who ARGUS will have to make deals with for information to progress in a mission or that ARGUS is fed up with Batman upholding his one rule for the one person he hates the most and they're just gonna take him out themselves. If Quinn is written as 'the rookie' and Deadshot as the crude, paternalistic team player, then most of the tension I'm guessing will be if Quinn encountering the Joker will trigger a relapse. Either way, if there isn't a cameo of Deathstroke by Ron Pearlman or Manu Bannett, I will riot.

Yes. That's what bisexual means. She even dates a guy in the New 52, a day after she slept with Ivy. (You don't see sexy bits but the writers did confirm that they simply are not hung up on monogamy).
