10 Things You Need To Know About Gotham City Sirens

1) It’s Not The Only Suicide Squad Spinoff

Harley Quinn might be the most bankable character from Suicide Squad, due to her immense popularity, but Gotham City Sirens is not the only spinoff from SS in the works. The film’s other star – Floyd Lawton AKA Deadshot – will also get his own solo outing at some point.

On the one hand, a Deadshot solo movie makes complete sense. Lawton was by far the most heroic of the Task Force, what with his leadership skills and touching backstory with his daughter. A big draw is also Will Smith, whose star power might have had something to do with Suicide Squad‘s success (and also why Independence Day: Resurgence completely flopped).

On the other, is Deadshot really a strong enough character to lead his own film when he doesn’t have the rest of the Squad to bounce off? Couldn’t everything they want to do with Lawton be dealt with in Suicide Squad 2? We’ll have to wait and see how this one turns out, but for now we’re more interested in how Gotham City Sirens develops.
