Suicide Squad (film)



Suicide Squad is a 2016 superhero film based on the DC Comics team of the same name, part of the DC Extended Universe, written and directed by David Ayer. It had a troubled production and got mixed to negative reviews. It received praise for Margot Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn and is the first DCEU film to win an Academy Award. It is set to have a soft reboot/standalone sequel called The Suicide Squad, directed by James Gunn.

"Rick Flag: You disobey me, you die. You try to escape, you die. You otherwise irritate or vex me, guess what... you die. Harley Quinn: I'm known to be quite vexing, I'm just forewarning you... Rick Flag: Lady SHUT UP!!! [Harley pouts and gives a faux-naïve look]"
 * Advertised Extra: Most of the marketing showcased a lot of the Joker when in the actual film, he only had a few minutes of screen time.
 * Beast Man: Killer Croc
 * Berserk Button: It's a bad idea to taunt Deadshot.
 * Big Bad Duumvirate: Enchantress and Incubus.
 * Big "Shut Up!":

"Rick Flag: Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people? Harley Quinn: [rolls eyes] We're bad guys. It's what we do!"
 * Body Horror: The meat puppets (or "Eyes of the Adversary", as heard in the film's bonus features) have heads filled with black eyes.
 * Card-Carrying Villain: When Harley Quinn steals expensive clothes from a store window she smashed:

"Joker: Oh, I'm not gonna kill ya... I'm just going hurt ya really, really bad."
 * Cold-Blooded Torture: The Joker taunts the pre-Harlequin Harleen Quinzel:


 * The Stinger: Bruce Wayne talks to Amanda Waller about his Justice League.
 * Tailor-Made Prison: Harley Quinn's cell is a cage within a larger cage, the obvious intent to limit her reach and protect anyone outside of it; this film models Harley after the far-more insane version in the New 52.
