Our Take On Suicide Squad’s Original Cut

I’m Hopeful That David Ayer’s Latest Comments Will Supercharge Demand For The Ayer Cut

It ’s hard to hear Ayer ’s true feeling on the fate of his originalSuicide Squadand not bid for theZack Snyder ’s Justice Leaguetreatment . Ayer ’s promise that the titular team was suppose to have experienced full eccentric discharge is an enticing prospect , especially as I ’m of the opinion thatJared Leto ’s Jokerwas never given a right chance to shine . Ayer ’s revelation may have magnified support for the Ayer track , and I hope James Gunn carry on to be open to the idea of releasing the originalSuicide Squadunder the DC Elseworlds banner in the future .
