Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

[The Sage]

I'm in the middle of reading it now. Good stuff. Had me realizing Ayers could pack quite a few cameos from the comics in his film. Ostrander did the same as he told his story.

If the film takes place in parts of Arkham and/or Belle Reve, there could be so many Rogues' making cameos and being established.

I hope that there's tons of conflict and backstabbing and manipulating that goes on in the film between characters. These are people that wouldn't get along, and all have conflicting goals. When the Avengers or JLA squabble it's actually minor in the big scheme. For one, at the end of the day the heroes all want the same thing. Secondly in terms of plot, in such stories the expectation is that the good guys will do their job and be successful by story's end. Something like SS just turns things on their ears and adds a nice layer of unpredictability to the proceedings... Now add in Joker and Harley as wild cards on top of all that? Damn, son... I think Ayers' previous work shows that he was the absolute right choice for this team.

I'm fully expecting at least one member of the Squad to die, one to escape, and one to get stuck on the team for another tour. The mish mash of personalities at work should be huge; just about every villain has standards and agendas that are going to collide with each other. Deadshot usually has an air of professional detachment and focus, Boomerang's whole schtick on the squad is that you can't trust him, Enchantress is schizo, Harley has inconsistent behavior both when attached to and seperate from her puddin', Joker's Joker, and the Wall still is generally portrayed as being competent enough to go head to head with the best in the business.

And if Lex and Baman are in this even in an indirect capacity, I fully expect them to be locked in a chess match against each other as well.

We should be looking at a volatile situation even before any requisite plot twists.

If anyone escapes, I think it'll be Harley with Joker to set up the inevitable Batman solo.

Would love this, perfect way to start the new reboot off.

Going back to those Rick Flag Sr. rumors, Max Martini booked a role in Michael Bay's next movie so he probably won't be the guy.

As Generic Angry Army Dude #8?

 

[Fallen Angel]

Variety say he's in negotiations to join the cast of 13 Hours. So maybe it depend's on what he want's . Flag Sr role I'm guessing won't be as big as a role as in 13 hours. Which is about the siege in Benghazi.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Hopefully Martini takes that Michael Bay movie role so I don't have to worry about seeing him in anything for a while.

Heatwave confirmed...

 

[Fallen Angel]

Damn was about to post that. It look's awesome.

 

[StarLord]

''Everything burns''...

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Welp, that confirms that Firefly is going to be in this movie.

With these tweets Ayers is either planning a CBM or a real life black ops assault on someplace.

Smith on Deadshot

[KRYPTON INC.]

^That's an interesting look into Ayers process, at least for this film.

 

[Broseph44]

This is definitely my most anticipated DCCU film besides obviously BvS and JL and eventually GL.

This needs to be successful to prove that WB/DCE can also pull out GOTG type films and make them crowd pleasers too. If SS can be successfullybadapted then stuff like Adam Strange, Challengers of the Unkown, The Question, Hawk and Dove, Phantom Stranger and a host of DC's lesser known properties have a better chance of seeing the light of day. All the other characters on the slate have had some kind of visibility in the pop culture world at some point or another. There's some kind of familiarity with Wonder Woman, JLA, Flash and GL, much as Cap, Iron Man, THOR and Hulk were known quantities for Marvel.

What gets me excited is to see a film almost exclusively from the point of view of super villains. Not just anti-heroes or characters with Roguish charm, but straight up thieves killers and sociopaths. Smith's comments are interesting. He wants, as a good actor should, to get a handle on the inner life of his character. A man that kills for money... What goes on in that person's head? How does that feed into the presentation of Deadshot on screen for the audience? It sounds like he's putting in the work, and that pleases me no end.

They're going to be apart of the Titans show so there's that.
