Suicide Squad: 8 Biggest Differences With Batman V Superman

One of the best parts of Batman V Superman was the appearance of Wonder Woman. She was fresh, she was entertaining, and she looked like a total badass. Aside from her, though, the film was still very much a white male dominated affair. Even key characters that weren't white men (like Lois Lane and Perry White) were completely ineffectual in the grand scheme of things.

Suicide Squad looks like it’s going to be not only the first DC film that has some real diversity, but it also is the first comic book movie in general that will finally break the tired mold of generic white males fighting. In the film, there is an incredibly diverse array of non-white and mixed gender actors carrying the load and sharing the charisma.

This is exciting news for anyone interested in something even slightly original and progressive in a genre that is starting to get very repetitive. Batman V Superman struggled to do anything fresh with its two leads because they’re basically the same characters we have seen in every action movie ever. Suicide Squad appears to be unburdened from this problem, so if it does nothing else, it will finally put some other talent in the limelight that has been hogged by white men for too long.
