Suicide Squad Revealed!
After much teasing, and baiting, and waiting, we finally have a full on shot of the Suicide Squad cast in costume! Oh yeah, this is going to be good.
Here is the entire roster broken down from left to right: Slipknot (Adam Beach), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Enchantress (Cara Delevingne), Katana (Karen Fukuhara), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and El Diablo (Jay Hernandez).
This pic came from Director David Ayer himself, tweeting out the image and stating: “Task Force X assembled and ready.”
There’s plenty of things to note in here, such as the appearance of characters not announced before, like Slipknot, El Diablo, and Katana. Katana is actually about to fully arrive in Arrow, as we reported here.
Second, take a look at Killer Croc! This is clearly a callback to his comic origins where he wasn’t a true crocodile like monster, but rather a man with a rare skin condition that resulted in him being called Killer Croc. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays into the film itself.
Oh and Harley? Interesting look. Playing up her both child-like nature, all the while showing callbacks to her origin with the Joker (see the “Puddin” tattoo?).
Some other small notes. The logo behind the Squad proves that they will be housed out of Belle Reve, their base in the comics; the warden of whom was Amanda Waller, who also runs the Squad and just happens to be absent in the picture. Another absent character is a certain Clown Prince of Crime.
Finally, following this release, we got the full reveal of the Deadshot outfit Will Smith will be donning in the film. It greatly resembles the comic book look, complete with white mask and red eye scanner.
