Suicide Squad is a movie based on the DC comic book. Ben Affleck reprises his role from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as Batman in a brief appearance, a first for the Batman Film Franchise. It also features the cinematic debut of Harley Quinn and Killer Croc. It is considered a canonical spinoff to Zack Snyder's Justice League trilogy.

It was followed by Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad, as part of a shared continuity of projects developed by DC Films.

Plot

Cast

Production

The film was reshot and edited because of the negative reception to the first trailer and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, with trailer editors and executives making the film more comedic on the trails of Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy, contradicting David Ayer's vision. They also reduced Jared Leto's screentime.

Reaction

Critical analysis

Professional critics generally did not favor the movie, the third act being almost universally panned.

#ReleaseTheAyerCut Movement

After the notoriety of the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, which helped green light Zack Snyder's Justice League during the COVID era need for new streaming content for HBO Max, some fans thought this would work again in the case of David Ayer. Several actors, including Jared Leto approved of the movement. However, Ann Sarnoff confirmed they would not purse an Ayer cut, explaining that WarnerMedia would not buckle to pressure from a small 'toxic' group of fans.[1]
