Suicide Squad: 10 Lessons It Can Learn From Assault On Arkham

7. Get The Audience To Root For Deadshot

In a movie full of villains, it€™s the contract killer Deadshot, who is going to be the protagonist. That€™s truly saying something, since viewers are going to have to get behind a man who takes money to kill strangers. Assault On Arkham did a commendable job of turning him into an anti-hero of sorts. He€™s still not a great guy, and he does kill people during the film, but he ultimately sees the greater good and risks his own freedom to do what's right. That is, off all the crazies, he€™s the one sane enough to think that stopping the Joker from blowing up the city is something worth doing. There is some morality there, even if it€™s a little complicated, and the film needs to find that in the lead character. On screen, it won€™t hurt to have Will Smith in the role. He€™s naturally charismatic and he ought to bring some much-needed humour to the film€™s dark nature. It€™s also possible they include his daughter in the story as she is present in the comics, giving him a real reason to care, and a way for audiences to connect with him.
