Rumor: WB Wants David Ayer to Direct "Suicide Squad"

Variety is reporting that Warner Bros. is interested in director David Ayer (Training Day) to helm a movie based on DC Comics' popular team the Suicide Squad. While neither Ayer or the studio has confirmed this report, it is a hot rumor especially considering WB has yet to reveal any of their 9 DC related projects that have set release dates. Suicide Squad is certainly an interesting spot to fill one of those spots. Supposedly along with Ayer, Justin Marks, who is also writing Top Gun 2, will be writing the screenplay and Dan Lin will be producing. What do you think about a potential Suicide Squad movie? Sound off in the comments.

Ayer is the real deal. Training Day and End of Watch kick ass and his upcoming WW2 film Fury looks great as well. So I'm all onboard for him taking over Task Force X. 

The real key to this film though is picking the Squad's lineup. Deadshot is a must. Amanda Waller will be in charge. But then after that things get tricky. So let's talk about the elephant in the room. Do you have Harley Quinn in the movie? I think the answer is a yes. Harley may have only just recently joined the Squad, but her massive appeal and connection to the Bat-verse make her a powerful addition to the team. Her comic is a top seller for DC making this the time to strike. Bring Harley to the big screen!

This has nothing to do with Suicide Squad, but I think the DC Cinematic Universe should definitely use Batinder.
