I had this whole preamble written, but here’s the most important thing. It’s tempting to say that Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is the best DC Comics movie made to date. I just watched a ten-minute cutscene that occurs about halfway through the campaign, involving Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Squad in a running battle around Metropolis, and I may still be shaken.

It’s actually happening! In 1988, Tim Burton released his second feature — a horror comedy called Beetlejuice. At the time, this wasn’t expected to be a tentpole, or a huge blockbuster of any sort. But the movie defied all conventions and expectations of what a quirky and hilarious studio picture could be, becoming a massive success and the legend it is today. Following its release, there was even talk of a sequel, which basically never went through. Until now!
