Suicide Squad: 9 Major Implications For Future DC Movies

6. A World With Superman

Suicide Squad is born out of a reaction to Superman. The question posed during the formation of the task force is that of what would've happened had Superman not shared in human ideology, one which is even more pressing in the face of growing threats and, as things currently stand, a world without Superman.

However, Superman will be coming back for Justice League, meaning that what we're going to be seeing isn't a world without Superman, but a post-Squad world with him.

What will that be like? Magic is in play, bigger threats are on their way, but specifically, for Superman himself, it'll be interesting to see how he returns, because it's hard to imagine the Man of Steel agreeing that he shares the values of Amanda Waller. Superman returns in Justice League, and given we've explored the ramifications of a world without him, we should then be able to see the impact of a world (and a shared movie universe) with him coming back.
