11 Ways Suicide Squad Needs To Set Up Future DC Movies

The current climate of superhero movies are a little too obsessed with the idea of watching the Watchmen and holding them accountable for the damage they cause while saving the world. Basically, civilians are horribly ungrateful.

The appeal of something like Suicide Squad is that not only will the villains not care - they're sociopaths and psychopaths, they don't care about your stuff - but they're also a black ops team. As such accountability can be pinned on whichever members of the Squad who die without the perpetual call for registration looming too large.

Also, it's not even that hard to achieve in Suicide Squad: by the look of it the action seems to take place at night and in a financial or business district, so you don't even have to care about innocents. And the building damage can be blamed on a rampaging monster.

If anything that might actually turn the tide of suspicion away from superheroes: after all, this represents a post-superhero world, and it's not all that bright. So having the sequels even remotely mention the collateral damage would be incredibly annoying.

The Hints

Judging by the trailers, Midway City is utterly ruined by the Adversary and the Enchantress. It appears there's not a massive number of human casualties because of the setting, but even so, the team hopefully aren't then going to be held accountable for breaking some windows and endlessly moralised at.
