11 Ways Suicide Squad Needs To Set Up Future DC Movies
11. Seriously, Don’t Kill Everyone Off
It might be a perilous mission that the bad guys aren't expected to achieve (or else they wouldn't have been sent), BUT, killing off too many of the Squad would be disastrous for the sequel. There might be a raft of unused villains in Batman lore who could fill in, but starting an entirely new team for Suicide Squad 2 would mean having to devote the same sort of time to building the team and trading down on the charm built in the first movie.
So keeping at least a few of the core team around to fight again - even if they're made expendable in the sequel - is a no brainer.
Equally, the idea of killing nobody off is just as bad. A film called Suicide Squad, which positions itself as a superhero Dirty Dozen and then fails to deliver on the implied threat is a declawed animal.
The Hints
Well, according to the reviews, they don't kill anyone important off at all (or if they did, it's being kept extremely quiet since it's the kind of thing you'd stumble over if you spend any time on social media.) So they've probably gone a little too far, to be honest.
