One of the best DC animated films I’ve seen so far. The R-rated edge really helps, as they are not shying away from anything. All the Batman-focused animated films were getting a bit tiresome for me, so when I found Suicide Squad, I had to watch it right away. Deadshot, voiced by Christian Slater, really steals the show; almost everyone will love his character. The bloody opening scene on the train sets the tone perfectly. The team around Deadshot might not be too captivating, with the usual characters like Harley and Boomerang, and new additions like Tiger (who has a solid origin story that could be developed further) and Copperhead. The story with the card is a bit out there, but it’s a comic book, after all. As I mentioned, the gritty action sequences combined with the film’s dark atmosphere are incredibly fitting, with heroes dropping like flies. I’m a bit disappointed that the 2016 live-action film didn’t carry the same spirit. I’m telling you, if it had looked like Hell to Pay, the fan reception would have been much warmer. The ending was well done too. I give it 80%.
