And welcome to my 100th post on this blog! Pretty exciting stuff, I've got viewers from all around the world, and every continent except Antarctica. If you know how to contact someone down there, let me know! But as I say, I digress. Let's get to the matter at hand!
Latino-Review has some interesting information that they've released regarding whether or not Batman will be making an appearance in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. Here's the little bit of information that they've posted on their site regarding this matter:
"According to sources, in the film Batman is some sort of big boogeyman that the government REALLY hates. Get this, prior to the events in #BatmanvSuperman, THE JOKER is the only one to really ever meet him or know him and that's why he's so important to Amanda Waller. They have footage of Batman in action which they watch. There is a bit of dialogue where they say Batman is the key to tracking down all "the supers." Very cool stuff."
This is interesting on a number of fronts, so let's take a look at them. One, Amanda Waller's only aware of the Batman. So that means that she, and ARGUS, don't know anything about who, or what, Batman is. Not only are they trying to figure this out, but it is a little reminiscent of the storyline from the cartoon Justice League Unlimited. She's wanting to find out who he is, so she can use that leverage against him if she ever needs his help. Knowledge is power, right?
I also find it interesting that the Joker is the only person who has had contact with the Batman. Does this mean that Commissioner Gordan is unaware of the Batman? Is there no Bat-Signal? I find this curious because it always seemed to me that Gordan was one of the first people that the Batman tried to contact and deal with.
Lastly, this puts a lot of value on the Joker as far as Waller is concerned, which explains why he's still alive and being held by ARGUS. Not only him, but Harley Quinn. Are they going to use her against him to get information regarding the Batman? I find all of this extremely exciting!
I think that this movie is the most interesting out of all of the titles that DC has planned to release, mainly because it deals with the "villains" as opposed to the heroes. This is something that Marvel hasn't done, and I find it to be a curious risk...one that I feel will pay off nicely!
Because of everything that has been revealed regarding this movie, I'm not expecting to see Ben Affleck showing up as Batman in this movie, except in some "found footage," or something along those lines. I think that DC is holding onto his appearance's to when they really need him, in conjunction to his contract.
The Suicide Squad movie is set to star Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Wil Smith as Deadshot, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Cara Delevingne as The Enchantress, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. Ed Harris, Jackie Earle Haley and Joe Manganiello are also rumored to be starring in this movie.. David Ayer will direct.
