Suicide Squad vs Justice League.
John Ostrander absolutely nailed it when he re-created the Squad as Dirty Dozen black ops group.
Really stoked for the movie because the trailer hit all the right buttons to those in the know. From the casting of Waller to the doe-eyed look of June Moon the subtleties are in the trailer. Not sure of Will Smith as Lawton, he's too clean cut for the role and I don't think he can sell Lawton's deathwish.
Apropos to the thread, Indie fiction in the mainstream prose world may be new but in comics it is old hat, going back decades. And Ostrander comes out of that world and it showed right away when DC picked him up. He immediately brought an entirely new, ground level look to the genre, from the SUICIDE SQUAD to FIRESTORM.
LEGENDS was and remains one of the best company wide crossover series ever and one of the few where the ending satisfied.
Fresh blood is always a good thing and you don't usually find too much freshness in the corporate world.
