Here's how the 'Suicide Squad' cast looks compared to their comic-book counterparts
- 8 years ago
It's kind of crazy that "Suicide Squad" is going to be the first DC comic book to get a movie after Warner Bros.' aggressive new slate of superhero movies kicks off with "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in March of next year. Given that the studio has yet to truly find its footing with the cinematic versions of its heroes, jumping right into things with a team of villains that the general populace probably doesn't know anything about is an incredibly ballsy move.
That also makes it the perfect move.
While the trailer for "Suicide Squad" doesn't tell us much, it does show that the movie's basic hook is a great one, and that it leans into it hard: This is a team of some of the worst supervillains in a world where Superman exists, sent on missions where success is not likely.
And if that doesn't intrigue you, hey, here's the Joker, and also a shot with Batman on top of a Lamborghini.
There's a reason the trailer ends with the Joker: He's easily the most recognizable villain of the bunch. Want to know who the rest are?
