Suicide Squad Gets A Movie

Variety is reporting that another DC property is getting a treatment. This time it’s the government based supervillians.

In a departure from normal comic-based fare, “Suicide Squad” concentrates on a group of incarcerated supervillains rather than the usual focus on superheroes. The first version of the squad debuted in a 1959 DC Comic, and a series was launched in 1987.

Stephen Gilchrist from Lin Pictures will co-produce. Justin Marks(“20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” “Hack/Slash,” “Street Fighter”) is penning the screenplay.

This just has bad news written all over it. I see no reason for it. The only thing that would semi-excited me would be casting CCH Pounder as Amanda Waller, who voiced the character during the C.A.D.M.U.S. story arc in JLU.
