“The Worst Heroes Get the Best Reviews: Suicide Squad”
Sometimes studios have the tendency to burn a franchise to the ground. At least for me, the DCEU has all but sizzled out of redeemable qualities. I have been burned-out by the darkest films to ever see red and blue tights, and burned by a director who let his vision sacrifice the meaning behind the characters I love. Because of this tone, the next installment of the DCEU has worried me for a while. Would it be too over the top? Would it have too much responsibility on it to ameliorate the franchise and correct the mistakes of it’s predecessors? Would it suffer from trying way too hard to be Guardians or Deadpool-esque? Sitting in the theatre, finally seeing Suicide Squad, it is relieving to be able to say that it’s becoming a bit easier to breath in the DC universe.

With filming of Suicide Squad getting ready to wrap up in September, the cast and crew likely don't have much down time to relax. This didn't stop them from taking a break to get tattoos together...done by their fellow cast-mates! Director David Ayer, and actor Joel Kinnaman took to social media to show off their new ink done by Margot Robbie and Will Smith respectively.
We've been teased for the last few weeks at what we might see when we get our first look at Jared Leto as The Joker in Suicide Squad. The only thing we knew for certain was that it would be something new, that we hadn't seen on the big screen before. And we were right!
Long ago, in a galaxy exactly like ours there were plans to make a Justice League film. The script was done. The cast had been assembled and we had our very first look at a live action John Stewart as Green Lantern in Common. Today we find out that Common has been cast in another DC property in a mysterious role. Common will join the film Suicide Squad as it begins production and I can only hope that he's not John Stewart but yet maybe Black Manta?
This cast just keeps getting bigger and better! As writer and director, David Ayer's Suicide Squad is set to begin production next month, we get word that Lost's very own Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has been cast as Killer Croc!
Recently, Warner Bros and DC announced that a Suicide Squad film was in the works and that director David Ayer would be at the helm. We've heard that we might see Jesse Eisenberg reprise his role of Lex Luthor from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. There's been a few names making the rounds on the internet about who the studio is eyeing for various Squad member roles in the films. Names like Tom Hardy, Will Smith, and recently Jared Leto in the role of The Joker. Now, Collider is reporting that Harley Quinn has been cast. Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, Tarzan) is the name they mention as the actress that would be taking on the role of Joker's right hand and fan favorite Bat-villain.
