>We need a team to fight Superman-level threats
>Let's get a guy who throws boomerangs, a guy who can tie awesome knots, a guy who cons shoot normal guns really accurately, an ugly guy who loses a fight to prison guards, and a girl with a baseball bat
I can see Enchantress, Diablo, and maybe maybe maybe Katana being useful against Superman, but this seems like a terrible idea.
We need a team to fight Superman-level threats
Other urls found in this thread:
they don't even need a team when they have does effective ex machina explosives that can destroy entities from other dimensions
Honestly I think it's a bit much to expect non-retarded plots from anything superhero comic related.
Bitches can't escape knots user.
This is like the third time I've seen this thread today.
Deadshot's aim was nearly superhuman.
Yeah, and superman is immune to bullets.
It's not about fighting Superman level threat but expendable super-soliders and getting on the ground floor of the metahuman arms race.
Not a magic bullet.
Captain Boomerang was a specialist who had dealt with Flash, Harley was a knockoff of the Batman's nemesis, Slipknot and Deadshot were both weapons specialists, and Croc was a mutant.
They were all abnormally gifted, and all of them were disposable criminals. That's what the Suicide Squad is about- taking the most powerful and talented disposable people that the government can get their hands on and putting them through a meatgrinder.
anyone that could compete with Superman through sheer buttfucking power would barely be controllable at the best of times and any fuck ups would have them gunning straight for who was holding the leash on em to begin with.
Guys like Boomerang, KillerCroc, and Harley while wildcards aren't so OP that they couldn't be reigned in if need be.
Guys like Etrigan, Lobo, Doomsday, Bizarro are pretty much WMDs in the flesh
then why did they send a standard black ops team with them on the mission?
Superman is dead so it's pretty obvious that the suicide squad is not about fighting superman but black ops shit.
Not immune to kryptonite bullets.
That and deadshot is basically batman.
Except a gun flew through his window in steadof a bat.
Eh, you throw enough somewhat talented, entirely disposable (But still pretty dangerous) mooks with logistical support at the threat and maybe one of them kills it before they die. Though they do underestimate exactly how capable Superman is.
They FELT the need to tie it in to the universe and did that the lamest way possible. Why couldn't they just be shadow operatives for dirty jobs like in the comics? It's so simple and perfect.
Superman in this context represents all non-US aligned metahumans. It's called Task Force X, not Anti-Superman Murder Battalion A-Go-Go!
Why didn't Amanda Waller ask the Flash for help? Or Batman, who is friends with Wonder Woman?
No, send in Harley Quinn, Boomerang, some other random widdly scuds, Killer Croc who was only useful for his ability to swim at one point, a guy who shoots good
Because she can't control them, she doesn't have the leverage on them like she does with the criminals.
That is thee very essence of Suicide Squad.
You wouldn't need leverage on Batman
this is the guy who wanted to take down Supes because he thought he was a dangerous ayy lmao
>a guy who shoots good
Deadshot is the BEST marksman in the world.
Dude, we didn't even get to see how powerful Slipknot is.
Why would Batman ever work as a pawn for the united states?
Back-up for the heavy hitters.
Im still surprised no one has ever did a story comprising of all the best hitmen and paid killers in DC trying to kill 1 mark.
I think he would try to stop the Enchantress from blowing up a city with magic if he could
He wanted to stop Superman
In BvS he was a pawn for Lex Luthor, so why not?
what backup? as far as I remember, the only useful thing they did was detonate that charge under the brother and they didn't even need to be there to do that if they had Croc and Flagg
their only purpose in that movie was to die and that's the whole point behind the formation of the suicide squad
Well for one he wasn't even aware he was a pwan and wasn't even thinking clearly.
Eh if Mr. Pissjar can trick him I'm sure Amanda Waller could.
Slipknot was just to make sure the enemy could knot escape.
STOP
That was basically the Arkham Origins game.
I'd love a more Smokin' Aces styled one though.
>tfw Chris Pine wasn't cast as a villain
>He will never get to do this to Batfleck

>deadshot is basically batman.
you realize he lied about what happened right?
batman came down and wiped the alley with deadshot's sorry ass
he made that shit up because he didnt want to look like a punk
Rick Flag made sure he could knot just slip away and run free
if Deadshot is the best hitman in the DCEU does that mean Deathstroke doesn't exist?
no it just means that
A. dead shot is a better shot
or
B.) Slade is more particular with the jobs he takes
