Suicide Squad: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

13. Rick Flag

Suicide Squad Ensemble
Warner Bros.

Imagine a world where a movie about villains with charming actors like Will Smith and Margot Robbie and flashy characters like Diablo, Killer Croc and Katana decides that Rick bloody Flag (played by Joel "beige" Kinnaman) should be the heart of the piece.

Unthinkably, David Ayer didn't seem to think that having Deadshot's motivation of his daughter was enough of an emotional element, and decided to smush the two least charismatic characters on his list together and hope their romance stuck.

Flag is an absolute cliche - a grunting, semi-haunted (but with no hint why) douchebag authority figure who bends over for Amanda Waller and then proceeds to commentate on the action scenes like nobody can tell what's going on.
