DCEU: Ranking Every Big Fight Scene From Worst To Best

8. Midway City Firefight - Suicide Squad (2016)

2016's Suicide Squad was a box office success, but due to Warner Bros. executives' reactionary approach following Dawn of Justice's box office run and critical response, the movie was severely butchered in the editing room.

Consequently, the film had a myriad of problems such as grimy visuals, misplaced musical choices, haphazard storytelling, and lacklustre action sequences for much of the film's runtime.

That said, the Midway City shootout in the film's second act was easily its standout set-piece. Following (one of ridiculously many) helicopter crashes, the titular team fights off the Enchantress' cannon fodder army to survive. In the ensuing chaos, Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) is captured and the team needs to work together to save him and themselves by extension.

What follows is a relatively decent action scene that displays Deadshot's (Will Smith) uncanny accuracy with multiple firearms as he swiftly takes down the baddie's army. Compared to what came before and after, this set-piece works rather well and is a sad reminder of what the movie could have been.
