Suicide Squad: 8 Biggest Differences With Batman V Superman

It is not entirely clear at present what role Suicide Squad has in setting up the DC future, but based on the slate it appears pretty minmal. It can not be emphasised enough, what a good thing this is.

Batman V Superman collapsed under the weight of trying to do too much, with too little time. The shoehorning in of the Justice League and the adaptation of the Death of Superman storyline was poor planning of the highest order; Goyer and Snyder were essentially left to do the impossible with that film, and the results were not good.

While it is certain that Suicide Squad will have to contribute to that wider universe narrative (obviously), this has not been its main focus. Predominantly, Ayer has been allowed to focus on building his own film that focuses on these characters and their own story.

While it is a little bit nerve-wracking that the film has to introduce so many characters at once, the vast majority of these are at least lesser known villains who can afford to divide up screen time. The liberation from having to carry the entire universe on its shoulders gives the whole property a completely different feel to the one that lingered over Batman V Superman.
