According to basically every news outlet ever, Warner Bros. is gearing up for a motion picture based on the semi-popular-to-those-that-actually-know-it-exists comic book SUICIDE SQUAD. For those of you who don’t know, and I figure that would be the majority of the free world and several of the former Soviet satellites, the SQUAD is basically like THE RUNNING MAN only with even more spandex and less light-bulb based villains. The basic premise is that a bunch of super-villains are given a shot at redemption by “volunteering” to do really dangerous missions for the government that will probably get them killed, but it usually doesn’t get them killed so that the series can continue; thereby making the title a filthy liar.
Come to think of it, I guess it’s more like DIRTY DOZEN. But the added spandex is still there.
There hasn’t been any word yet as to which villains will be used in the movie since over its several runs there have been a lot of additions to the cast. A good bet would be the Batman villain Deadshot, who really hasn’t been a Batman villain in about twenty years. He’s a cool character though so his addition would please me. As for the rest…it really doesn’t matter because they were all pretty forgettable. I apologize to all the Bronze Tiger fans for the previous sentence.
