Suicide Squad: 8 Biggest Differences With Batman V Superman
3. They're Anti-Heroes
Batman V Superman is unambiguously focused on heroes. By any literary definition of what heroism is, Batman is a hero. Even in Batman V Superman, where we have probably his most fascist incarnation; in the movie, he still goes to fight Superman without even a hint of fear, and he is driven by a strict idealism that guides his actions. This is heroism defined.
Additionally, regardless of how much Goyer and Synder might have tried to tweak Superman's character, he is still undoubtedly the most iconic superhero ever created.
Task Force X, however, are legitimate antiheroes. They are dishonest, aggressive, disagreeable, and only fighting for right under the threat of having their heads blown off. It appears there will be the odd exception – Deadshot, for example - but, by and large, these are literally villainous protagonists.
This is a radical departure from Batman V Superman and also comic movies in general. It's not only a nice novelty, but it also provides the chance for rich characterisation and quirks that would have been impossible with the characters in the former movie. The moral flexibility with these characters is enormous, and there is plenty of potential to test audiences on how much they can truly relate to them.
