10 Bad Comic Book Villains Who Were Still Better Than Steppenwolf

As much as Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was designed (from its clunky title on down) to pave the way for Justice League, in a curious way Suicide Squad seems to have laid the groundwork for Snyder/Whedon's superhero team-up. Both films have major tonal problems, betraying behind the scenes difficulties; both present a team brought together under awkward and not entirely convincing circumstances.

Perhaps most crucially for our purposes here, however, both films have a really naff antagonist with an utterly nondescript apocalyptic plan. But where Justice League gives us the all CG, no charisma Steppenwolf, Suicide Squad gives us the Enchantress, in the more charismatic and only slightly digitally altered form of Cara Delevingne. (You may recall the furore when it came to light that the model/actress's waist had been narrowed via CGI.)

It was a curious twist of fate that Suicide Squad landed the same summer as Paul Feig's Ghostbusters, given the DC supervillain team-up boasts a finale way closer to the original Ghostbusters than its remake. Just a pity Delevingne never got to growl, "there is no June Moone, only Enchantress!"

Actually, no, that only would have made things worse. But - again - it would surely have proved memorable, at least.
