It appears DC has the hit its been looking for.
Back in March, DC believed itself to have one of the most epic films of the year in Batman v. Superman. Bringing two of the most iconic characters of all time on screen together for the first time, and have them at odds? Sign me up. Unfortunately, as we all know, the film did not critically perform as expected. However, by the looks of early reviews, this could be the film to point the DCEU in the right direction.
News already broke that a Harley Quinn solo movie will be one of the spinoffs from Suicide Squad, but now we're also getting word that more of the characters from the film could be getting their own solo films as well. According to We Got This Covered, a source close to the studio revealed the future plans for Warner Bros. regarding the DC franchise, noting that Jai Courtney's Boomerang and Jared Leto's Joker are among those in talks to get their own stand alone films.
All of this news, if true, is very promising. But, I fear that making these kinds of decisions before the movie has been released isn't the right move. Despite positive early reviews, how do you know audiences will receive all of these characters well? You can't pre-determine an audiences reaction to a film. If that were the case, Batman v. Superman should've been the movie to beat this year and probably one of the most profitable superhero films of all time, if not the most. With that being said, I really hope this film knocks it out of the park. DC has some of the best comic book characters out there and being able to see a worthy adaptation on screen is something we all want as fans.
Suicide Squad is set for release on August 5th, 2016.
