DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

We need to see the resurrection of Slipknot! :p

:rofl:

Though seriously - stupid as Slipknot's blatantly obvious introduction as a throwaway character was in abstraction - now that it's happened, I kind of want it to be a Suicide Squad tradition. What idiotic DC comics villain should be hilariously slaughtered at the beginning of SS2? Condiment King? Rainbow Rider? Egg Fu? Codpiece?

BvS showed a world where at least half the populace feared and mistrusted Superman, but then JL showed a world where everyone had loved Superman and his death had thrown the world into despair like never before. And the Wonder Woman films have pretty much ignored BvS's portrayal of Diana as someone who gave up trying to help for a whole century after WWI.

Neither of these things happened.

I agree, but the bolded in particular leads back to my original point: I don't think this sequel was ever really likely to do much else than that, anyway. What possible benefit would there even be to continuing the story of Midway City in the sequel? The Squad never really cared about it, it's over and done with, and with a team like this it would actually be pretty weird for them to be hung up about the deaths of their comrades. The only thing that would seem to make any sense as a callback would be Waller's position being in danger since she was basically responsible for the whole thing, but it couldn't really be in danger because she's too important a character, so why bother?

By far the most logical approach to a Suicide Squad sequel is to just move forward in time and tell the story of another mission, independent of the first one. And that was true long before James Gunn was hired, imo.

The only left over story thread from the first movie that needs to be addressed is Joker breaking Harley out of Belle Reve, but since Harley's next appearance will be Birds of Prey, they could always address it there.
 
So what's this about Leto not coming back if Gunn directs? Does he have a problem with Gunn or vice-versa?

I don't think even that's really necessary. If they want, they can just start the new movie with Harley pouting about having just been recaptured.

Since she's set for BoP, though, I assume that may very well be the story of how she's recaptured (among other things). I do wonder to what extent (if any) Leto will feature in that film, though.

Why not just have BoP start with her free and roaming around?

I assume she will start the movie free, since she was already busted from the Squad anyway. The question is whether she'll start the BoP movie still attached to the Joker or not, and I think that could go either way, which is why I'm curious what path they'll choose.
 
I am just as happy Leto's Joker might not be in the film. It was fine having the Joker in the flashbacks and as a minor character in the first story, but let this movie be about the squad and not about Batman's arch nemesis.

WB doesn't seem to think that a movie can work unless Batman or Superman have SOME connection to it.
 
Batwoman said:
This is why the next five movies have neither of them... :rolleyes:

WW showed up in BvS and JL, so there's the connection to Batman and Superman. Same with Aquaman. BoP has Harley, a Batman villain, Flash is shown to be more or less Bruce's protégé...

I mean you're already widely known here for having a massive hateboner for anything DC, but saying that Aquaman is a Batman movie because they appeared together in Justice League is beyond ridiculous.

If you apply this same "logic" to Marvel you get...

"Disney doesn't seem to think that a movie can work unless Iron Man has SOME connection to it."

Do go on about how it's totally different for Marvel... :rolleyes:
 
I'm really starting to doubt The Flash is ever going to actually come out.
