Adam Beach is Slipknot!

[4thWallBreaker]

Gonna die. Curse of the Firestorm villains in SS is that they always bite it.

Also, is Firestorm in DCEU?

 

[metaphysician]

He's in the CW-verse. Haven't heard even an inkling of him appearing in the movies, which pleases me. I suspect Slipknot is being used because he's far more iconic as a Suicide Squad member than as a Firestorm villain. Granted, its iconic as "the lame dude who gets his arm blown off", but still, better than "I am going to take on the invincible atomic superman. . . with *ropes*!"

 

[DeadStroke]

I read somewhere that Slipknot killed Tattooed Man's son. I wonder if they tie that into the movie or not. (no pun)

Oh God. I chuckled [blackout]when he was killed very early, because I was sitting there and thinking who's that guy in the board, I didn't remember him getting a small segment at the start like the other prisoners, I was like did I miss something. Then that scene happened. The end.[/blackout]

 

[Rowsdower!]

He did a really good job of [BLACKOUT]dying.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Guts]

There really isn't a need to put that in spoiler tags. A lot of people knew he would die when it was announced that he would be playing Slipknot.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Haha yeah, true. They even made it clear in the movie by not even mentioning him until he actually showed up.

 

[KillerWolf]

As expected, he delivered. Best performance in the film, for sure. Slipknot has become one of my favorite DC characters, and I can't wait to see more of him in "The Spectre" solo film.

 

[psylockolussus]

Would they really resurrect him for another movie?

LMAO. t:

He didn't get an intro but Waller had a photo. The list of stuff deleted did mention that his record said he is a serial rapist, so I guess he had some sort of intro in the original cut. But maybe in the theatrical cut Waller just thought that there was nothing worth mentioning about him so she simply had a photo.

He's going to join the Justice League with a new identity. The Headless Ropesman.

Whoa, really? Damn, I guess that's why they had him punch out a woman in his intro scene.

I think that might be a microcosm of what's wrong with the DCEU. I know they're trying to be gritty and realistic or whatever, but I think there are some places you don't need to go when you're trying to build a cinematic universe that is intended to at least partially appeal to kids, rape being one of them. Now, to their credit, they didn't include that in the final cut. But the fact that it was in there at all makes me facepalm.

This is that list.

"In early cuts, the movie's opening detailed June Moon's possession by Enchantress in the tomb. Reshoots reshuffled the scene to be later in the movie in flashback form in favor of a new opening centered on Deadshot."

"Deadshot in the prison cell, watching the rain fall and thinking about his daughter."

"El Diablo observing the flame of a lit match, before putting it out due to his vow to no longer use his powers."

"El Diablo being escorted to a training center by being placed in a tube that fills with water to quell his flames, and then unceremoniously dropped onto the ground."

"Early interviews showed Captain Boomerang's racism and sexism, but the movie is light on examples of such behavior, which have apparently been deleted. Most of them were reportedly directed at Katana, to whom Boomerang is attracted to."

"Early reports indicated more backstory for Killer Croc, revealing that his entire life as a social outcast due to his physical appearance and has convinced himself that he is beautiful in his own way. Croc crossed paths with Batman while working as muscle-for-hire for numerous Gotham's crime bosses, while secretly planning to take over one day. There were also scenes displaying his affinity for making sculptures out of discarded materials. Aside from jokes about Croc viewing himself as 'beautiful,' one of these were retained in the final cut."

"Also deleted was a scene where he becomes sick at the helicopter escort to Midway City, throws up half-digested pieces of goat, and then eats them again, disgusting the nearby Navy Seals."

"Early cuts reportedly included a passing reference to Slipknot being serial rapist, likely to further paint him as unsympathetic to the audience ahead of his own death."

"More scenes of Rick Flag and June Moon's romantic relationship, including him reading the files of the Suicide Squad recruits after Waller delivers them to him."

"Another scene where Flag and Moon are out on a date."

"Extended scene of Joker interrogating Captain Griggs, including the line, "I can't wait to show you my toys," which was in every trailer, but was removed from the movie."

"Joker and his men escaping after shooting up a restaurant. Harley, who is already affiliated with the Joker, follows them on a motorcycle and intercepts their car. Joker bangs his head against the glass in frustration."

"Joker and Harley then get into a fight, which ends with Harley pointing a gun at Joker's head. Joker sweet-talks Harley into lowering the gun, charming her, then backhands her across the face. Afterwards he sweet-talks her again and they kiss."

"Extended Ace Chemicals scene where Harley jumps into the chemicals. More bits of dialogue from Joker."

"Extended Batmobile chase scene with more interaction between Joker and Harley. One of the examples, presented in all the trailers, is the Joker punching the roof of his car."

"Harley using her baseball bat as a mock gun to play shoot at invisible foes."

"Extended scene of Joker breaking into the nanobomb manufacture facility to arrange for Harley's neck-bomb to be disabled."

"More interactions between Harley and Boomerang. Early cuts apparently included her really disliking him despite growing affectionate to all the other members of the squad."

"Extended bar scene with Harley taking everyone's orders. Deadshot calls for a shot, Katana wants whiskey, Croc and Boomerang settle for beer, Harley asks Diablo wants and he prefers water which she jokes, "is a good idea." The scene was featured in the trailers, but in the movie it cuts directly to Deadshot's speech about them all almost pulling the mission off."

"Removed several scenes with the Joker to repaint his relationship with Harley as more loving rather than abusive."

"Joker and Harley get into an argument after he rescues her in the hijacked helicopter. In early cuts he reportedly pushes her out to kill her, then the helicopter gets shot down. This was apparently reworked into the helicopter getting shot down first and Joker pushing her out to save her."

"Joker returns during the final battle in the subway station, face half-burnt from the helicopter crash, which apparently leads to a brief altercation with the Squad. He calls for Harley to escape with him but she refuses for once in order to help her friends, and the Joker escapes after throwing a live grenade at the group to cover his own escape."

I think the reports about WB being reactionary from BvS being dark are true if they cut scenes showing the characters being villainous like Boomerang being racist.

Thanks for posting this, didn't see it before.

As for WB being reactionary, I am sure that is the case. They went for much more tame, family-friendly cut and f***ed up the film in the process. Idiots. Especially since they screwed up BvS with forced cuts in the first place.

If you want a film to be received well, then for once let the goddamn director do his own frickin' thing, you stupid, fat a**holes.

Yeah, sounds like it.

 

[MadVillainy]

What a waste of a good actor

 

[KillerWolf]

What a waste of a good actor

Don't worry. He'll be back in "The Spectre" solo.

And if that doesn't get to be made, for whatever reason, I'm sure we'll see him in "GL Gorps: Blackest Night".

 

[psylockolussus]

They'd probably recast then just give him another name.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Nah, he's going to appear in Dark Universe as Deadman.
