i always thought timothy dalton would make a good ostrander-era deadshot.
it's so weird that a completely different suicide squad are set to show up in the arrow tv show, and the tv-show flash will have nothing to do with the dc cinematic universe's version. meanwhile marvel's universe is set up to exist more-or-less seamlessly across tv and film. such an odd duplication of labour.

Suicide Squad was already in Arrow S2 - Deadshot, Bronze Tiger and Shrapnel, with a voice-only Harley Quinn cameo. Waller and ARGUS have played a big part in S3 to date.

I haven't seen very much of arrow, so i didn't know the squad had turned up already. the flash is way better than i was expecting it to be tho - it's been a lot of fun so far.

I don't know if "weird" is exactly the word I'd use. WB's attempt to ape Marvel's cinematic universe is like something that has the cadence of a joke but isn't actually funny.

Yeah, Flash is seriously great. Maybe there are a few too many fanboy buttons pushed but I'm happy being manipulated like that.
Arrow has been very patchy. S1 was mainly a let-down with a few notable high points (Count Vertigo, Deadshot, Huntress) but the main RICH PEOPLE ARE BAD plot wasn't nearly engaging enough. S2 looked like it was going down the same route with the Brother Blood stuff but managed to just about avoid the fate by concentrating on Deathstroke and tips over into great with the return of Vertigo and Huntress, Solomon Grundy, Suicide Squad, Flash and Clock King. Ray Palmer turning up has saved S3 from being too serious. There's still a danger of it lapsing into almost Buffy does police procedural which it just about treads the right line of.

I forgot as well, the last ep had Ollie hand over Cupid to Waller as the latest Red Shirt for the Suicide Squad.
And CAPTAIN BOOMERANG at the end, who is in the Flash/Arrow team-up/crossover eps.

I had forgotten hearing about them casting Michael Jai "Fuckin' BLACK DYNAMITE" White as Bronze Tiger
Grey/brown/black is a shitty palette to represent a distinctive team of character costumes with. They at least gave a decent costume to Deathstroke, didn't they?

Also: Pick out Deadshot's likely mask for this movie1 - Cool full face mask with scope eye2 - half mask with cross hair monocle thing3 - fuck the masks, this is will smith; we're giving him some kind of bionic eye
They used option number 3 for Deadshot in Arrow too, and the actor wasn't anyone you'd ever heard of. I guess superhero series/movie makers just don't believe anyone can act if they're face isn't visible.,, If Spider-Man and Batman didn't have such iconic costumes, I'm sure the movie folks would've come up with maskless design for them too.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 4 December 2014 08:40 (nine years ago) link
well, spider-man does spend a fair chunk of his movie screentime either unmasking himself at every opportunity or having his mask shredded in battle. iron man handled the issue really elegantly - maybe they should give deadshot a nifty heads-up display inside his helmet too.

Iron Man had its share of gratuitous unmasking too. For example, in the second movie's climax he lifts his mask up to make some action movie one-liners, even though he's surrounded by enemies... What if one of them had shot him to the face at that point? (And IIRC, in the first movie both his and the big bad's masks were conveniently ripped off during the final fight.) The mask-removing makes even less sense for him than Spider-Man, because Spidey's mask has no protective use.

btw kept thinking "why is Deadshot called Bloodsport in this?" but ddg'd and found that there is a Bloodshot, but he is a different character, and they just called Deadshot Bloodsport in thisturns out that Deadshot was in the first one!! but he was played by Will Smith and Idris didn’t want to play a character previously played by Will Smith, so that is why Deadshot is called Bloodsport in it, instead of being called Deadshot, or the character Bloodsport being in it (and called Bloodsport)next time AT&T should just buy Valiant’s deal from Sony and put Vin Diesel in as Bloodshot
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Friday, 13 August 2021 00:15 (two years ago) link
lol they will get Diesel in one of these DC films, i bet
It feels like they totally wrote it originally for Deadshot, what with the whole motivation being to help his daughter out that was shown in the first movie, but thankfully they changed their characters just enough. The jail conversion between the Bloodsport and his kid was hilarious and wouldn't have happened with the Smith incarnation of Deadshot, who is pretty much Assassin Dad of the Year in SS '16.
also by changing it they've said it's so they can bring back Smith for a SS3 if it happens
