This villain from down under can get a lot done with various types of boomerangs. He's given the Flash a run for the money for decades, but just how did he come to be?

Captain Boomerang is a pretty cool villain. I'm pretty sure that Jai Courtney (which recently done bad films from the past) can take his role awesome and that's good that they selected a right actor who can speak Australian and it did. You know I wanted this character to be part of facing "The Flash" for upcoming DC Universe spinoff and that could be awesome. If Ezra Miller can defeat Jai Courtney in this big buildup movie, that could be cool. I wanted that.

I know I'm a Cap Boomerang fan myself. I've always had a bit of a fascination with gimmick-weaponry type villains, turning tools or items into deadly gadgets for show or whatnot. And I personally see Cap Boomerang as the total bad-ass equivalent of those kind of villains, and it's a reason why I (strangely enough) like the Flash's rogue gallery above any other. Also, I see that sort of thing with the Robot Masters of Megaman, which is obviously one of the reasons why I'm a fan of the blue bomber.

@taylorh1872 7 жыл бұрын
I actually kind of like Captain Boomerang. I mean in Suicide Squad (Which wasn't really that good in my opinion) they put him to the side but I was still curious about his character and did some research. (Which is why I'm here.) I mean he does have some pretty interesting things to work with, he is pretty smart (he is able to use different boomerangs to help him fight the Flash which for a normal human is impressive), pretty cunning, and just generally has some charm to the character. It's a shame Suicide Squad didn't really add some of these traits in, making the character seem bland and forgetable. Now he isn't my favorite villain (That would go to the Riddler with Joker in a very close second. Mostly because Batman villains are just really well made.) but I do like his charm and think he deserves a better role. (Then again in Arrow from the clips we see he is pretty cool so I might have to check that out. After all I was a huge fan of the Green Arrow when I was younger so it would be cool to see him again.)
