If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them-all of them.

Superman, Wonder Woman, and Justice League. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). Parents need to know that Suicide Squad is a super (anti)hero adventure based on characters who tie in to the DC movie-verse, like Batman v. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. But The Suicide Squad is the first and probably the only member of a new weird box office 'club.' It's the first sequel to open with over 100 million less than its predecessor. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. The suicide rate among males in 2020 was 4 times higher than the rate among females.

Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. The racial/ethnic groups with the highest suicide rates in 2020 were non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Natives and non-Hispanic Whites. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out-even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Gunn’s reasoning for why a superhero film that had already gotten one PG-13 outing, care of David Ayer’s 2016 Suicide Squad, was simple enough: this is a war film, and it needed to feel.
