What were your thoughts on the film and the future of the DC Extended Universe?

While a solo The Flash movie is included in the DC cinematic universe timeline, there’s not a lot yet that’s known about it. DC makes disjointed films.
The past decade has seen an increase in the presence of DC in television and film.
“If every superhero film is not The Dark Knight, they’ll bitch”, he added.
“Suicide Squad” has been one of the most hotly anticipated films of the summer. Oh, and apparently zero understanding of what makes comic book movies great. But “Suicide Squad” proved a massive draw despite its much-derided lead-in. Is it the Will Smith posse?
While we’d all love to live in a world where everyone can get what they want, that just isn’t where we are right now. I’m still not convinced I should. And that’s no surprise. Warner Bros. mobile tie-in has received mostly positive reviews from both critics and gamers, alike, earning itself a 5-star rating on the Apple App Store. You could cut that stuff out without harming the movie at all. From the little that the fans have seen of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, I am hoping that we will continue to see how strong and bad-ass this character becomes.
Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn was unbelievable, too.
It should be noted that the news only came from an anonymous source claiming intimacy with the project; as there has been no official word yet from Warner Bros., which has apparently yet to return any inquiries, the possibility of the whole thing being fake is still real. It chases after the nihilistic swagger of Deadpool and the anarchic whimsy of Guardians of the Galaxy but trips over its own feet. I can hear you saying it already. I’m going to give it a B.
Bad guys finish first.
Ever since the release of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice earlier this year, fans have been curious as to what exactly happened to Batman’s sidekick Robin.
As nobody really points out to Amanda, her idea is really bad.

Let’s not pretend like making millions of dollars in a weekend makes a movie suddenly great, OK? Plot holes just seem to be ignored and you can’t always say, “Well, it’s a comic movie”. Specifically on her list are Floyd Lawton/Deadshot (Will Smith), a marksman extraordinaire, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), a therapist driven insane by the Joker, El Diablo (Jay Hernandez), a gang banger able to control fire, and … well I don’t need to go further because the movie doesn’t really care past those three either. I mean, Are you kidding me Warner Bros? Also, it’s a new personal best for Mr. He didn’t even rank a title card. Man, I miss the days of heavy-handed newspaper headlines. He dies shortly after his one line, which directly follows our first look at him. Listen, if you’re gonna kill a character to prove you can, don’t telegraph his fate.
