10 Things You Need To Know About Gotham City Sirens

There is no denying that Suicide Squad was one heck of a divisive film. While critics largely lambasted it, the movie has garnered quite a lot of fans. Overall, Warner Bros will be pretty happy with it, seeing as it made nigh on $750 million at the worldwide box office. So happy, it turns out, that they have paired Suicide Squad's director up with its breakout star for a new project.

Given the team of villains and the similarities to Suicide Squad, you would probably expect the Sirens to be another group of supervillains gone good. However, they’re actually more complicated than that.

First of all, the Sirens don’t join together in an attempt to atone for their past actions nor are they assembled by some authority figure. The three women come together for their own best interests. If it suits them to stop a supervillain or save a civilian, they will. If it doesn’t, then it’s none of their business. Focusing a movie on such self-interested characters could be really fun and make for a more compelling arc than that of Task Force X in Suicide Squad. 

At least, that’s how it is in the comics. To ramp up the scale for a film, we can see Harley compelling her friends to stop some apocalyptic event, after getting a taste for do-gooding in Suicide Squad.
