Will Smith has already hinted that his character, the sniper-inclined villain Deadshot, might not be as black and white an individual as those initial teasers and trailers made him out to be, and the Blitz trailer seems to confirm such a thing by way of an intriguing little inclusion - one that only the Deadshots amongst you will have spotted.

Written on& his rifle, which is briefly revealed during this trailer's neat villainous weapons showcase, is "I am the light."

This telling phrase seems to suggest that Deadshot feels justified for all the bad things that he does, for one reason or another. Which means that his character is probably going to end up being a lot more interesting than we've given him credit for - and that he has been locked away for crimes that might not be anywhere near as evil as we first thought. Colour me excited!
