I guess we could see Deadshot again now that Suicide Squad has crashed and burned. Despite it crashing and burning, they are still planning a sequel. I can see the script being written then being put on a back burner....then ending up the same as Batman Unchained, Batman: DarKnight and Batman Beyond.

Was SS disappointing because the fans already had a preconception of Task Force X after seeing it done really well on Arrow? Well the reason Arrow's version succeeded was because it's Suicide Squad truly were bad people who did bad things. With the movie, they tried to make it too much like Guardians of the Galaxy and make them have good hearts in the end when that isn't what the Suicide Squad is. I wouldn't say Floyd/Deadshot was an out and out bad guy in Arrow, far from it, they made the audience sympathetic towards him. I also believe Michael Rowe's performance was way better than Will Smith's who came across as Floyd playing Will Smith. Agreed that DCEU Suicide Squad was a ripoff of Guardians of the Galaxy. Even down to the music scene. But Guardians was full of humor and fun, while Suicide Squad was just full of bad writing.

For me it's still the characters not even remotely resembling who they're meant to be that was what really killed it. Will Smith is not right to play a cold sniper type character, and he was just being his usual "Will Smith action hero" archetype. While I at it, Harley's outfit just infuriates me, especially given how overrated it is. Sadly that piece of garbage outfit was worn by tons of people at FanExpo when i went there. It was impossible to count them all, but before i gave up, i counted 20.

Well I'm not saying they didn't make us sympathetic on Arrow. They did, but they also showed that this guy did bad things. The perfect scene to show that was when Diggle was patching his wounds and he saw the Andy Diggle writing on him. In the movie, Deadshot may have been shown to kill people, but he seems that he just wants to stop doing it like Ant-Man more than Deadshot.
