‘Suicide Squad’ and ‘Gotham Knights’ Games Teased in New DC FanDome Trailer

October 7, 2021October 8, 2021 Jamal Michel

The newest trailer for DC FanDome dropped today and with it came even more hype to get us ready for next Saturday’s event. What stood out for me though were the brief shots of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Gotham Knights that teased some new footage to come at FanDome.

New ‘Peacemaker’ Clip Shows Up in Full Cosplay Mode

October 5, 2021October 5, 2021 Mike Manalo

For those out there, like myself, who can’t get enough of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, any semblance or scrap of a sequel is, frankly, something to foam at the mouth for. And though Peacemaker proved to be the sequel’s true villain, there’s something about John Cena’s oblivious earnestness and hilarious charisma that does make me curious to see where the upcoming Peacemaker series is going to go. We know after the events of the film, that ARGUS desk-jockeys John Economos (Steve Agee) and Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) were sent to take back a very-much-alive Christopher Smith. But where things go from there remains a real mystery.

In Retrospect: ‘Birds of Prey’ and the Un-Fantabulous Omission of One Cathy Yan

August 13, 2021August 13, 2021 Adonis Gonzalez

I don’t typically like to compare movies. Sure, most films of recent are either a reboot, sequel or adaptation. At the very least, they take reference from kind of source material. But some movies are more comparable than others, like Suicide Squad (2016) and The Suicide Squad (2021). However, aside from confusingly similar titles, a couple of returning players, and a similar world-saving plot, these two movies have almost nothing in common.

Tyla Talks Task Force X: An Interview with Storm Reid of ‘The Suicide Squad’

August 11, 2021August 11, 2021 Mike Manalo

The Suicide Squad is my favorite movie of the year so far. James Gunn’s tribute to the pulpy demented works of John Ostrander’s DC run in the ’80s is bloody, bold, and brilliantly surreal. And none of it would be possible if it wasn’t for a stolen Style Watch!

NOC Review: ‘The Suicide Squad’ is Pure Comic Book Punk Rock

July 28, 2021August 24, 2021 Mike Manalo

You’ll have to forgive me for geeking out just a bit here. But I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this insane movie twice now, and I still want more. I cannot begin to describe to you all how much I enjoyed this movie the first time, and even how much more I enjoyed it the second time around. The Suicide Squad is James Gunn off the leash! And I think comic book movies will be better for it!
