How could you not love these guys and gals – Skatronixxx

DC’s Suicide Squad is easily the most fascinating out of the comic book outlets upcoming cinematic offerings. Not only will we see the latest incarnation of The Joker (Jared Leto) since Heath Ledger’s scene stealing interpretation of the Clown Prince of Crime in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008). The first live action appearance of The Joker fan-girl Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and countless possibilities for further cross-over’s down the line. Not to mention the delectable opportunity to see Cara Delevinge’s The Enchantress crop out in Guillermo Del Toro’s upcoming Justice League Dark film. But we will ultimately see DC pull the trigger on releasing their vault full of iconic villains on an unsuspecting movie audience and see what they make of it.

Now tell me you aren’t excited to cheer for the bad guys for once? Well those bad guys may well steal your heart yet if Warner Bros. latest synopsis is anything to go by:

‘It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity.

US intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of desparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do.

However, once they realise they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?’

With this in mind I guess the only question will be if any of the team will survive Director David Ayer’s (Training Day, Fury) film as the odds are certainly stack against them.

Suicide Squad will serve as the follow-up to the crown jewel in the franchise, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, when it lands in theatres August 5, 2016.
