I really hate the fact that The Suicide Squad has been pushed as a sort of Anti- Justice League team because that isn't what they're supposed to be. Also, it's insane how we've gotten more adaptations featuring/centering around them then the freaking Justice League!

Finding out the director for the Suicide Squad anime wanted to do a Flash anime but got shacked with the SS i genuinely upsetting....also I find it genuinely funny how Lego did the DC Villains fight the Justice League game premise better than a multimillion dollar "AAA" game

I think my main issue is DC seems to have forgotten what the Squad is supposed to be in first place they’re not this last resort if the league fails (cause if they were there’d be more heavy hitters on the team) they’re just a bunch of highly skilled yet expendable criminals that the government has doing their dirty work for jobs too dangerous for real soldiers

Still can’t believe we got 2 live action suicide squad movies before two live action Justice league movies🤦🏾‍♂️

DC desperately wants their own GOTG. They’re trying to turn the suicide squad into that. Basically a fun group of characters that sell lots of merch

HARLEY QUINN. THEY GOTTA STOP USING HER FOR GODDAMN SAKE

WB wanted their own Guardians and after that didnt work they quadrupled down on adaptations of this team

I think the Amanda Waller addiction is even worse. Every 5 seconds she's doing some shit and she's always the mastermind behind something now The plot armor is crazy

WB is treating Suicide Squad like that hot new toy that one annoying kid in the playground won't stop showing off to people for attention even when the other kids stop caring. It's gotten old, staying old and everyone sees it except them.

SS have such a cool and creative idea...the problem is that they don't use it like they should. The SS is now a team like any other where only smaller characters dies.

Crazy how SS get more attention than Wonder woman or any of the milestone characters as well as other fan favorite characters still on the shelf collecting dust😂😂😂

Man suicide squad kill the justice league should have been about suicide squad kill the crime syndicate and about saving the justice league

It’s crazy how we get so much Harley Quinn and suicide squad content when characters like Wonder Woman, flash, green lantern, night wing and the teen titans, green arrow, aqua man, etc don’t get any love. The amount of content Harley Quinn and the suicide squad gets should be what the rest of the characters should be getting, yet for some odd reason wb just keeps shoving down Harley Quinn down our throats when she’s really not that popular

I kinda wish we got a Teen Titans Isekai instead of a Suicide Squad anime

When the director of what was once the worst DCEU movie warns you about Warner Bros🤦🏿‍♂️

And the thing about that I don’t understand is why they trying to make it a thing. Every movie flop, the game flop. People tell them every time we don’t care about it. I don’t understand how they have been more représentation of Harley queen than any robin in the last 20 years

DC saw the success of Deadpool since his movie came out and basically just wanted to turn Harley Quinn into DC's version of him, I imagine that's why they push her so much, one of those: "Oh look, she kills people and makes jokes about it! Cool right?" They just think edgy=cool while forgetting that it wasn't JUST the R rating that made Deadpool successful

DC needs to figure out how to make a good justice league movie before they even think about more suicide squad. The justice league SHOULD be bigger than the avengers but it isn’t.

You mean that D-Tier squad?

There’s been more Suicide Squad related projects in the last 8 years, than projects for Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, The JLA, Nightwing, or the Titans…..let that sink in

The group named the "Suicide Squad" lasting this long. Is that them being ironic or do they not even notice? Is the appeal that they're a Justice League who kills? Because that's just the Justice League in the DCEU anyway, right? Waller's about to become even more ubiquitous with that footage of her anime self throwing it back like she's the Flash to a VTuber's song making the rounds.

I absolutely love the suicide squad but I hate the modern versions of them. I hate the Harley, Deadshot, Boomerang and big monster versions. Give me Clock King and Hunky Punk.

I really am just annoyed they just keep pushing this, when it’s been made abundantly clear no one is asking for suicide squad media

The Sqaud used to be cool, but now DC has got lazy and just uses the exact same team in every project. Like the cool thing was they were always changing because members were dying, meaning you never knew who was gonna survive. Now you know Harley is 100% making it whenever you see her.

You know something crazy? SSKTJL came out in Feb 2024. For giggles, I decided to look up the top 50 best selling comics (US) for Feb 2024 to see if DC was capitalizing or promoting this game with their comics. Here's what I found, the best selling comics for DC were: Batman, Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong, Wonder Woman, Nightwing, World's Finest, Superman, Birds of Prey, Green Lantern, Titans, Poison Ivy, and Batman and Robin. 🤔 Whose's missing? Oh right, the Suicide Squad. And they had a book but it didn't sell as well. Hmm...

DC you're telling me you have the Justice Society, Teen Titans/Titans, Justice League Dark, Doom Patrol, Green Lantern Corps, Legion of Superheroes, The Terrifics, The Outsiders, Legion of Doom/Injustice League and the extended families of Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow and the flipping Justice League, but you decide to release two Suicide Squad movies, two animated movies, a video game, an anime style movie, two Harley Quinn spinoffs and an Amanda Waller and Peacemaker tv show. smh

What made Harley Quinn so interesting for me was the fact that she wasn’t front & center. I love the fact that she was a sidekick to one of the infamous villains. Now they’re trying to make her this annoying redemption character & it’s just not it.

I've never been that interested in Suicide Squad. Harley Quinn never made sense as a member. She has no powers. She's a mildly skilled regular fighter with a baseball bat. Why is she with all these super powered characters?

Dc has so many Superheroes like Captain Atom and others but no, they are punished too much suicide squad stuff

Would love a suicide squad that isn’t just Batman villains or Harley Quinn as the “lead” for some reason

Dc has a suicide squad problem? No way

Wish Martian Manhunter had his own animated show. He never gets any love

It generally feels like DC goes all in by a fuck-ton on anything that is remotely popular/successful 'recently' and let anything else fall to the wayside, making the entire DC Universe in of itself and as an IP feel small.

The entire point of the suicide squad is that they’re a covert ops team that likely will not survive the mission. Setting them up as the seal team that can beat Superman is just incorrect.

How Dafuq has Suicide Squad been pushed more than Justice League

DC really forgot the 'suicide' part of the suicide squad.

I would take a Martian man Hunter project over any squad project any day

The Suicide Squad gets pushed more than the Justice League I swear, it's kinda annoying that a team of losers is getting more love than their biggest hero team and Waller is getting way too much attention and focus

if i see harley quinn, deadshot(black) , cap boomerang again im gonna crashout fr no cap

The Suicide Squad has SEVERAL problems: - the fact that the team was supposed to be used by Waller to perform a series of undercover tasks for the government of the United States NOT big battles across the multiverse against way too powerful enemies - the members should be expendable, if i see Harley Quinn or Deadshot or Captain Boomerang i know they'll survive, it worked for Boomerang and Deadshot in the first Post Crisis iteration of the group cause NOBODY gave a crap about those 2 in the second half of the 80's ... DC comics could literally take characters from the 40's and create at least 10 different iterations of the squad without a problem - the team should have variety in the roster, there was an iteration of the SS with Deathstroke, Deadshot, Black Manta, Harley Quinn and Joker's daughter... WTF is this? Why do you need 3 extremely skilled bounty hunters and 2 crazy chicks? Use villains that can control time, tech experts, magic users, mob bosses, elemental gimmick villains and so on - Harley, as any other mental unstable villain, shouldn't be part of the SS. That's why in the Ostrander's run the only Batman villains that were used were Penguin and Deadshot (in fact when captured they go to Blackgate not Arkham), that's literally the basic plot of one of Poison Ivy's best stories (Pavane), the fact that due to her mental instability she'll be brought to Arkham and not Blackgate where she could have been taken into consideration for the SS. Having mentally unstable villains might compromise the mission, especially if you're not sure that, even with a bomb in the neck, they'll follow your rules - Waller has received the Maxwell Lord's treatment: once a grey character with a deeper and more complex personality turned into a basic government evil character by lesser writers

WB is always the type of company who milks the shit out of everything that are remotely profitable and trash anything that aren't. The fact that they thought continuing the Arkham series by killing its protagonist so they could have their own 10 year long cash cow machine that is ssktjl speaks volume on how out of touch the higher ups on WB are. Despite being optimistic about Gunn helming DCU, WB themselves are the problem.

I am convinced DC/Warner has no idea what to do or are not interested in half of the characters they have that aren’t Batman and Harley Quinn

Oh my god someone FINALLY makes a video on this subject. Suicide Squad 2016 made the team this "unstoppable force". So many comics, a video game and ANOTHER (actually good) movie. Harley and Waller has so much plot armor its insane. The fact that Waller is still alive rn in comics after everything she did is just dumb

The suicide squad game dropped the ball to not use the Justice Lords or CSA as the main antagonistic groups.

The suicide squad pushing reminds me of black adam's "takeover" of the dceu.

I think we'll get a break from The Suicide Squad as I doubt the actual team will be used in the DCU due to the events of Peacemaker S1. That being said they could have similar teams like Checkmate etc

DC thinking they have their own GOTG in there hands with Suicide Squad, and making sure you don't forget it.

I’ve always felt DC pushed the Suicide Squad to somehow compete with Guardians of the Galaxy Except at least Marvel didn’t let the GotG overtake the Avengers like DC like the SS overtake the Justice League

Kinda wild they trying to make the leading women for dc harley quinn a character who's whole thing is being in a abusive relationship tho she does get out of it...until she's in another one

It actually makes me shake that DC want Harley as the 4th member of the trinity. No flash, GL, Nightwing you try to push harley

I remember getting annoyed that injustice 2 dlc wasted a slot on enchantress, and it was obvious they added deadshot and redesigned the joker to have synergy with the suicide squad movie. The fact that these guys have more attention than the teen titans sucks.

I'm mostly sick of seeing Harley Quinn, especially in later media trying to make her a "Hero" when we know damn well she isn't redeemable.

Suicide Squad wants to be the Guardians of the Galaxy version of DC so badly

Gosh I still cant believe WB and Rocksteady thought SSKITJL would make a billlion dollars 😂 did they really think wedd like that ? We waited a decade for that game, we coudve gotten a new batmam arkham game, or a supergame or even a flash game, but NO we get this, and also they still coudve made SSKITJL a great game but they fumbled it 😂 gosh I miss old Rocksteady

I want a break from not only suicide squad but Batman as well because we want more Superman, Wonder Woman , green lantern , flash , aquaman , Martian manhunter and many more

The Suicide Squad thrives more in relatively grounded black ops missions rather then stuff like the Isekai series

The main problem with Amanda Waller is that she is just a very static character, that doesn’t really grow or change in fact the opposite she is more used a plot device to develop other characters like James Gunn Peacemaker and Suicide to highlight the differences between the character we care about and corrupt government officials that only care about themselves like Amanda. I think you could do something interesting with Waller like what Red vs blue the web series did with the Director aka Dr Leonard Church honesty you just need to watch the Season 6 ending to really understand his character and how similar he is to Waller but does a great job of humanizing him

I really gotta wonder where DC and WB got the idea that Suicide Squad would be a billion-dollar franchise. It seems pretty crazy even by clueless executive standards.

I’d like to disagree on Deadshot. I think his story works pretty well. A mercenary who, from what I’ve seen, has some sense of morality. The guy is a natural born leader and only wants what’s best for his daughter. And King Shark is adorable

I am personally tired of the suicide squad and frankly i need a break from them, and it drives me crazy that out of all the characters who still refuse to get there own game like say I don't know like superman who really deserves his own game from the very start way more then the Suicide Squad ever did at least in my opinion. Also side note i really think dc needs to seriously stop using the suicide squad for everything and just let other characters fly like the justice league deserve there own game more then ever especially now, and also the teen titans and of course the biggest one for me besides superman is well the super sons with both Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy as his little 10 year old self and Damian Wayne robin who are personally for me my all time favorite team who also deserve there own game too and seeing them as a team in a video game would be really awesome and badass but if not then maybe Green lantern could get a mass effect style game which would be really awesome and badass in my opinion.

Why is Amanda Waller getting her own show when she isn't even a superhero What about green lantern? Beast boy Supergirl Bruhhh

Still can't believe they cancelled the black canary project 😭

I personally believe that the reason why Suicide Squad has been pushed so much is due to not only DC and WB wanting their own Guardians of the Galaxy, but also because of a trend I have seen with some modern day writers and writing teams, and this later reason is very aparent in this year's major flop, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. Now why? Simple, these modern writers, do not like superheroes. They simply don't, they want to write about the outcasts, the villains, the ones that have tragic pasts. The Suicide Squad game, its writing, it treats and writes the titular Justice League as a bunch of absolute bastards, and treats their respective deaths as either nothing important, or with complete lack of respect. Captain Boomerang about to piss on Flash's corpse only to turn that into a "haha moment" about how big his dick is, "Deadshot" having convoluted beef with Green Lantern, with GL acting like a power tripping cop, his ring seen and writen as just a simple tool and having him be stripped naked except for a silly pair of Green Lantern trunks because it's funny right? Superman just being casually tossed aside without any build up or relevancy, just another chump out, and of course the contempt in Batman's death, Harley saying he caused emotional trauma on criminals, which is filthy fucking rich coming from Harley. Hell, even in the Harley Quinn show this is apparent, and while yes the show is meant to be a comedy it still should also respect some of the characters they adapt. Look at how they turned Nightwing into basically an insecure dude whose only punchline is how big of an ass he has. Hell speaking of, how can we forget the time they gave him amnesia in the comics? That was a fun time wasn't it? These modern writers HATE superheroes, they hate the good guys, they are the types to look at the idea of an evil Superman and think that is peak writing. They're nihilistic, pessimistic, they prefer the morally grey instead of someone who fights for good even in a messed up world because it's the right thing to do. And it is sad to see that, it really is. Heroes are fun, they inspire us, they show us the right path and to keep fighting in spite of it all. But of course, as long as we have these individuals up there making these stories under clueless executives we will continue to be served slop.

SO ANNOYED that they're going into this weird phase of obsession with Harley Quinn & the Suicide Squad.....before they even get their feet off the ground with the BASE JUSTICE LEAGUE!!!!! JUST SO STUPID!!!

Its still hilarious to me that the best suicide squad adaptation we've gotten, was a single episode of justice league unlimited.

They barely acknowledge Bronze Tiger, and he was one of their first team members.

Can DC give more spotlight to the Rogues? They act more like GOTG than the Suicide Squad.

It's a byproduct of modern writers embracing an extremely cynical and nihilistic worldview in their writing. The Suicide Squad is the epitome of this phenomena. You're meant to root for serial murderers, hitmen, and literal monsters because they frame the stories in some kind of anti-system, anti-government sentiment. This is fine if the protagonist's intentions are morally good, like Captain America in The Winter Soldier, the squad's motivation boils down to, "lets blow shit up" so you have no foundation to latch on to. It seems now writers see more good in the villains that work to tear down the systems of society instead of the heroes who fight to uphold it, because the writers see society as corrupt beyond repair so fuck it, anarchy. It's pure nihilism in a genre that's generally the antithesis of it. This has been an issue with a lot of DC's writing as of late.

The real suicide squad problem is DC doesn't know how to use them properly and the only reason DC keeps throwing the suicide squad into our faces is so as to promote Harley Quinn.

More like Harley Quinn, featuring other DC villains

*Teen Titans in Another World in Japan* be like: 1. *Robin* - Ninja (His Skills) 2. *Raven* - Youkai Courtesan (Her Demonic Essence) 3. *Cyborg* - Samurai (Mechanical Parts to conserve his Electricity) 4. *Starfire* - Daimyo Princess (Worshipped like the second coming of Princess Kaguya cause she can fly LOL) 5. *Beast Boy* - Tries to hide himself as much as possible as he has Green Skin. (Probably the Horse pulling the Carriage with the Team and their Essential Supplies in their Journey) *The Enemy:* 1. *Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke:* The Shogun who has gone against the Emperor of Japan and taking over territories of each daimyo. 2. *Terra Markov* - Slade's Right Hand Force leading the Shogun Samurai Army of Soldiers wearing a Mask of black and orange. 3. *Brother Blood:* The other Shogun also seeking to take over Japan with his own Army of his own Army of Exceptional Generals with Unique Powers to cover for a Smaller Army to gap the difference in Strength. 4. *The BRAIN:* The other Skull Shogun more Brutal with no remorse to life, absolutely running a Slave Army to fight as Fanatics. 5. The *HIVE* Team as a Mid Boss for the Team to fight to free a City in their Journey. It's like a Battle Royale Free for All Warring States like period. And the Teen Titans have to save Japan by defeating all three of the Warring Factions to stop the War from ruining the people's lives. Using the Original Teen Titans of 2003-06 Characters. This is my Plan if I was in Control of DC Comics... Which I am not unfortunately.

I'll be honest: I've only read one Suicide Squad comic (The Banana Splits team-up), so I don't know much comic history about them, but with the 2016 movie, the 2021 soft-reboot-sequelish movie, the abysmal Kill The Justice League, and whatever else is out there... I just have no interest, because WB has oversaturated them and botched them countless time! (Outside of the 2021 movie, a movie I don't care for, but I acknowledge it's the better movie) They've literally focused more and more on the Suicide Squad than the ACTUAL DC superhero team with the Justice League! Outside of Harley Quinn, a vast majority of people don't care about the squad, unless you're a diehard fan, and even then, aren't the fans getting sick of seeing the squad everywhere? Also, I'm not sure if WB knows this, so I'm gonna just drop thi- THERE ARE OTHER VILLAIN TEAMS!! Hell, you have an iconic villain team with the Legion of Doom, and outside of a post credit scene, NOTHING has been done with them! Basically... screw the squad, let the Legion of Doom have the spotlight for freaking once!

I’m so sick of seeing the Suicide Squad in every DC media. They’re like the plague, you can’t get away from em. The Justice League and Teen Titans deserve way more screen time than D-List villains.

The Legion of Doom erasure.. 😭

You are absolutely correct. The game would have been AMAZING with Sinestro, Gorilla Grodd, etc. The Suicide Squad and Amanda Waller are cool but it's become over saturated while other fantastic characters get sidelined

It's weird that their being pushed as an anti-villan leugue as well when their litrally pshcopaths and killers

Arrow season 2 featuring TSS in one episode Batman: Assault on Arkham Suicide Squad 2016 Suicide Squad: hell to pay THE Suicide Squad 2021 The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League The Suicide Squad isekai Maaaaaaan, they have had more itirations than Matian Manhunter and Green Lantern combined in their whole existence

I think Katana is such a slept on character.. if they’re going to have a bunch of SS projects at least include her! Heck, even a standalone project would do well imo!!

My favourite adaptation of the SS is the animated version from Suicide Squad assault on Arkham, mainly because it provides every character a time to shine and do what the squad was meant for. That being shady shit Amanda Waller wants but can’t be seen doing. That and how it was the best adaptation of Deadshot.

The one mistake out of the Batman animated series was the creation of Harley. “Nah bro sit down ain’t no way” I’m being absolutely serious. Was she interesting in that show? Yeah. But then they immediately afterwards started doing things with her nobody liked. My first beef was her sleeping with Nightwing. Why the hell would dick Grayson settle for her even as a booty call in a hundred years? She stood for everything he was against and it made him seem weak willed as hell. Then they tried to make it seem like she wasn’t a super ultra mega fan of joker wanting to grind up against a grandpa just because he had a fragment of jokers conscience. After awhile they started pretending she was even half as interesting as joker himself and started pretending she could not only outsmart him, she could also beat him easily at every turn. The character had one decent run and ever since then morons like Kevin smith started pretending she was a gift from the gods. I can’t stress enough how hard I roll my eyes every time I see her. She’s the female Guy Gardener.

Harley is BAD. Let me ask you, when did we get a good and interesting Harley since BTAS? She's always unfunny, stealing attention from more interesting characters and being overly sexualized. She's become a joke, redundant and only meant to sell views for trailers?

Suicide What? 🤨 You mean Harley Quinn's and friends?🤔

The Suicide Squad works in smaller doses. I wouldn't mind a Suicide Squad game, but as DLC extension. WB is trying to mske them the Guardians of the Galaxy as loveable screw-ups but that's not Task Force X. They aren't good people are the typecof group to help topple of governments rather than save the day.

They got a game before the justice league, Teen Titans, Justice league, JSA or other individual characters. I hope Waller is dies after the Absolute power event. I'm sick of her.

Ostrander’s comic series truly was when the Squad peaked.

The Suicide Squad was cool back when they were obscure. Pushing them as hard as DC is just makes them way less appealing

I laugh every time someone says that 2016 SS is better than TSS.

It's weird too because I don't even think anyone LIKES the Suicide Squad that much.

Yeah don’t get me wrong I like the squad and Gunns SS Movie was great and the anime one seems cool but like Harley they use them waaaaay to much lately

I love the concept of the suicide squad but except for TSS movie, I think most adaptations missed the mark the type of missions the get assigned on. And I also agree that the squad needs a break from exposure along with Harley, The Joker and Deathstroke

I refuse to watch anything Suicide Squad related as long as Harley Quinn is part of the team. She should not be there.

Its wild that Harley Quinn got her own animated series before Wonder Woman!

2:49 I wish Harley wasn’t on the team of arkum

Best part of assault an Arkham was deadshot shooting a rocket at Waller. Idk how they possibly thought her own spinoff was a good idea.

I still think its hilarious for Amanda Waller to send Harley, Cpt. Boomerang and Deadshot to the forefront of SS:KTJL, like King Shark I get, but Deadshot? Bro keep him as far as possible he's a sniper, like the support role he should be. Boomerang and Harley shouldn't even be here bruh they're just normal people w/o a particularly useful skill lmao. Killer Croc, Grundy, Clayface, Bane and Deathstroke exists in the arkham verse. Throw them in the field. Hell you have Scarecrows fear toxins, use them.

Bro atill can't belive the first Suicide Squad made 1.5 B that was THE worst DCEU film

On the topic of the Suicide Squad, people never really say they are tired of all the hundreds of different kinds of Batman and Spider-Man content that we get every year. They only say that about characters they don’t really like or aren’t passionate about. The projects made for the Sucide Squad are easily dwarfed by the projects Batman receives. I think it’s fine if people don’t like them, but I don’t think people should be upset that Harley Quinn and the Sucide Squad are more popular now as characters and a team that are now getting more projects then they used too back in the day.

You should definitely rank all the DC shows cartoons and live action someday from worst to best

"Do Better" Yeah. DC/WB aint got any concept of how that is a thing anymore.

I'm glad you brought up Amada Waller, because I'm tired of how her character has been portrayed. I grew up on the DCAU, so I loved how she was the antagonist against the Justice League but not a full blown villain, she is worried about the safety of the average person more than what she has been portrayed lately. Now she's too much of a villain to me and she really has no motivation of why she is the way she is. Honestly, she's been acting too much like General Eiling from the DCAU. He launched a nuke on an island to kill Superman and Doomsday not caring about the civilians while Waller was worried about them and he turned himself into a rip off Hulk to beat the Justice League, which are what things I believe the new Waller would do 100%. Basically, why turn Waller into General Eiling instead of just using Geberal Eiling? Idk, I'm just tired of evil Waller
