SUICIDE SQUAD

7 Upcoming Superhero Films That Are Really Unnecessary

While there's a palpable excitement in the air for the likes of Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League and Avengers: Infinity War, there are a lot more superhero films coming in the next few years. Suffice it to say, it's a good time to be a comic book fan right now.

Regardless of what you thought about David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, you need to ask yourself, is a sequel necessary? The worst of the worst – in more ways than one – didn’t do much for its characters, bar Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and Slipknot (purely for the ridiculous memes). It’s not like any of us would cry if Enchantress or Rick Flag disappeared into the ether, never to be seen again.

In truth, Gotham City Sirens makes much more sense than this sequel. While it’ll still contain the villainous team-up angle, it’ll have more interesting and iconic characters to invest in. Who wouldn’t want to see Harley, Catwoman, and Poison Ivy causing havoc in Gotham City? Hopefully, Ayer (if he’s still involved by the time of production) is given adequate time to make this movie and won’t create something subpar like his first stab at superhero films.

Suicide Squad made a ton of money, sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was arguably the poorest effort produced by the DCEU to date. Maybe there was a good film hidden somewhere between the different cuts and edits. Nonetheless, we can only make conclusions based on the final product that we saw – and quite frankly, it sucked.
