Well we can now look forward to the new Suicide Squad movie being 75% slow motion shots (and not having any black cast members).

DC seems to be wanting to make their films prestige and seem to be aiming to cast their directors accordingly.

They're going for directors who have a really big style, who have big names, have had a really critically acclaimed film or getting some heat to make their films come off as must-sees, for having a bold vision. The names of their directors seem to have attachment to previous projects to really get everyone excited for it based on that.

It's sort of the opposite route of Marvel who for years seemed to be going after people who just seemed to less in all those regards but seems to be wanting to go after some buzz worthy names for the future films.

Gibson has a few films behind him that fit the bill in one of those categories. He's also a big name with a few despite his issues. The idea of having someone most people think of as unbalanced directing a movie about unbalanced villains probably could draw some media attention and given his own issues for the over the years I could see there maybe be someone thinking he could offer up a unique take on "Everyone thinks you're bad guys, but as an individual you think of yourself as a completely justified/excused in your behavior."

After they tried to turn Suicide Squad into Guardians in post, I'm pretty sure their next two big ripoffs are Justice League aping Deadpool and the Batfleck movie is aping Civil War with the Justice League fighting every single Batman villain in one huge brawl.

So Mel Gibson's Suicide Squad would just be studio hacked to vaguely resemble whatever Marvel's next huge hit is (Guardians 2?)

Doesn't the WW movie have First Lady Claire Underwood in it? That's the only thing I'm excited about. Well, that and the inevitable Easter egg where we see a young Adolf Hitler in the trenches, but he has the iconic mustache and hair, so people can still recognize him.

The only crotch shot in the movie will be a young, unnamed German soldier charging Wonder Woman and she kicks him so hard in the crotch that he flies comically through the air. The post credits will be the same soldier in a hospital bed with and ice pack as a doctor explains, "Well, you've got one nut now, so be careful with that one... " turning to the camera and looking at the audience "...Private Hitler."

Is Vegas taking bets on literally exactly this happening?

Runner up: no less than 4 suffragette references, and one appearance of great-grandpa Wayne because they'll desperately try to ape the Howard Stark Captain America scenes.

Wayne Engineering Co. will give Wonder Woman her 'invisible biplane'

Great Grandpa Wayne will be showing it off.

"The engine, near silent. You can fly it at night without being seen or heard. We've added a feature to the surface, too. The canvas is made of a material that is reactive to a propriety gradient dye made by Wayne Chemicals. You can adjust from this dial. Just set the chromawheel to match the aeroprism sensor and press this lever, it will cause a pump to saturate the canvas with the right dyes that match the color of the sky for the next 30 minutes will make your plane that color until they fully evaporate. It doesn't matter if the sky is blue, white, green, gray or red or purple, your plane will blend in and you'll be unseen from the ground as well as silent."

This. I refused to see Suicide Squad on the principle that I wanted to see David Ayers' Suicide Squad, not whatever patchwork nonsense the theatrical release was. Is there a director's or original cut on the DVD/Blu-Ray release?
