6 Ways Suicide Squad Trailer Fixes Batman V Superman's Mistakes
2. It Has Legitimate Conflict
We know that Batman will be moody and depressed, and wont trust Superman. Superman will be righteous and fearful of Batmans methods, his superiority complex guiding his decision-making. Theyll fight. Neither can win, really, because to do so is to lay claim that one is inherently better than the other - bad for future solo film business (in a why am I watching Superman beat this guy when he couldnt even beat Batman? kind of way). So instead, they team up against another foe, and win, discovering their friendship in the process. That's Batman V Superman right there. Its, somewhat regrettably, a stale concept that will make for an unexciting relationship between the two, and for less actual stakes than a vegan restaurant. Suicide Squad has roughly ten batsh*t crazy characters who dont give a damn about each others safety, which will make for some insane fireworks - both personality-wise and in terms of action. Therell be surprises, and actual consequences on the line, judging from the fact that half of the characters clearly wont make it to the end with their hearts still beating.
