He's The Secret Weapon... David Ayer IS the Director and Script Writer

[Wheels]

I wouldn't say Harley has to be in the film, but if you're going to put her in a film then it might as well be this. What are the odds she is ever used in a Batman film? Who would even touch the Joker in a Batman film as anything but a reference right now?

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

So how about that Lex Luthor news?

 

[Boom]

Harley could tell stories about her "puddin'" and all of their past exploits.

 

[Dark Raven]

So how about that Lex Luthor news?

Why is Lex going to be part of the Suicide Squad? Unless his character just appears in the movie. The squad is usually made up of hitmen/ lackey types. If Lex were part of the squad itself, not only is he too much of a criminal mastermind, but then why not simply have the Legion of Doom?

While helping to break the team out of a secure facility.

 

[ThePreface]

What if Luthor or LexCorp is the 'target'?

 

[batdude]

Yeah... he was in Secret Six though, which was sort of a substitute Suicide Squad for a while there (and featured Deadshot). Actually, I'd rather see a Secret Six movie if they included Catman (though they should probably come up with a cooler name for him, lol).

I forgot about Secret Six. OK, That would mean adding Black Adam and switching Captain Boomerang for Catman. I guess they could call him Lion Man. really, I like Boomerang better. The general audience might wish it was CatWOMAN.

Lex Luthor is most likely the puppet master who's funding Amanda Waller's project.

I would hope they would. Ledger was great but definitive. I want the dapper Clown Prince of Crime version

 

[SlamAdams]

Harley is capable of seduction and torture and is a licensed therapist. She will have spent quite some time trying to get one over on Batman (arguably the best ninja in the world) by the time we see her, and probably picked up a few clever tricks and whatnot along the way. I don't doubt they'll be able to find something for her to do.

She is the only one of them who is crazy. I see that as a liability that this particular premise would not suffer no matter how clever she is.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

No way Harley isn't in this movie. How can you not want this in live action?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Names I think should be considered for either Deathstroke, Deadshot or Rick Flagg:

Brad Pitt
Jeffery Donavan
Kiefer Sutheland

Pitt has the edge... Someone has already christened him DeathPitt.

 

[Sawyer]

Rick Flagg - Kyle Chandler after a few months in the gym.

Rick Flagg - Kyle Chandler after a few months in the gym.

He's working for Marvel these days.

 

[Sawyer]

He's working for Marvel these days.

No he's not.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I think you're confusing Kyle Chandler with Kyle MacLachlan.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I think you're confusing Kyle Chandler with Kyle MacLachlan.

Yes. Brain Fart on my part. Sorry about that.

 

[Gee]

Someone in the comments actually want Arrow's SS. What?

 

[Sawyer]

These mofos just can't let go of the fact that this is not an all-encompassing shared universe in the same way that Marvel is.

Multiverse, everybody, Multiverse.

I'd be ok with this, or the Squad attacking Lexcorp in some way could possibly work too.

 

[ThePreface]

That's what I'm saying. Maybe Luthor is reverse-engineering the World Engine into advanced/dangerous tech to give LexCorp an edge. The US government wants it for themselves and commissions Waller to build a team to 'acquire' it. That's where we get our Task Force X.

 

[Loki882]

Or Lex is bankrolling the team through his government contacts. There are a number of plausible reasons for him to be in this movie.

 

[Dark Raven]

Brad Pitt
Jeffery Donavan
Kiefer Sutheland

Brad could be the Lazarus Pitt

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Brad could be the Lazarus Pitt

The man must have access to one cuz if you saw him in Fury he is still in Phenomenal shape. Also, given the performance as War Daddy I would totally buy him as either Flagg or Slade.

 

[Fallen Angel]

If they're supposed to begin filming in the spring then they must be pretty close to pre production starting.
