>We need a team of people to fight Superman-level threats

She won an Oscar, so... no.

>>90929314
I'm still amazed that they managed to miss the point of the Suicide Squad that much

Fuck the hell off OP the concept of the team was out together for such purposes but not this specific line up.

>>90929314
Would have made more sense if she'd put the team together to hunt down the vigilante Batman.

>>90929404
>She won an Oscar
She was the make-up artist?

>>90929661
Why would she need criminals to do that?
A regular taskforce can do that

The whole point of Taskforce X is to have them do things that are illegal and that the government cannot admit to being behind.

Like stealing things from other nations or assassinating people.
The movie premise should have been about trying to break into STAR Labs or Cadmus or Lexcorp or something.

>>90929661
To be honest anyone but superman level threads would have been fine

>>90929731
Honestly I would have liked them dropping them into some dictatorship (maybe with a super/meta soldier program so you can have some interesting fights) and then have them try to kill the dictator.

Also reduce the power level of enchantress and have her actually be on the team.

Diablo was a magic metahuman. Magic hurts Superman

Not just by virtue of being magic, though. Magical fire is still just fire, and would not hurt Supes much unless it had the specific magical property of "burns anything it touches."

>>90929314
It would have been kinda amazing if Waller was the villain all along and she revealed she was just gaming the system in order to have a team of super criminals at her beck and call but then the movie would be a little clever.

All they had to do was make Dirty Dozen with Supervillains ....

Well deadshot can beat superman easily with enough preptime

>>90929314
>a guy who can climb anything
The mission he was put on was to get Waller out of the top of a building, so he was actually the most useful member of the team.

Can this Pokemon beat Superman?

>>90929404
Not for this role lol

>>90929906
I don't have anything to disprove that but it seem kinda seems ass-pully.

>>90929697

No, that was the version that one the Screen Actor Guild lead performance by a female.

The alternate dimension one has been Oscar nominated as well, for what that's worth.

>>90929314
>a guy who can shoot flames out of his hands that would not harm Superman
To be blunt with you, he is literally the only one out of them who has an actual chance to harm Supes due to the fact Superman lacks an immunity to magic

>>90929819

>Magic hurts

Clark the same way it would hurt Bruce or Ollie or Hal or anyone else. He's NOT INVULNERABLE to magic the way say Zatanna, Dr. Fate, Captain Marvel or perhaps Diana (although it's really that these people are more equipped to handle magic and/or more knowledgeable about how to counter it/survive it).

>>90932431
lmfao
no but hed give boyscout a hell of a time chasing him down

>>90932111
Diablo kind of takes one for the team.

>>90929731
>Why would she need criminals to do that?
>A regular taskforce can do that
Batman literally just saved the world from a demi-god like threat, and fought along side Superman.
You can't just have the regular army go into Gotham and declare "We're going to jail the Batman" when he's effectively an Apostle as far as a large portion of the population is concerned for fighting alongside, and carrying on the mission of Space Jesus.

If with all that that neutralizing Batman doesn't fit "shit the government doesn't want to admit to doing" criteria for you, I don't know what to say.

>>90929314
Face it, there is absolutely no reason why Harley Quinn should be in that squad.
I mean, if they were going to hunt Batman or Joker, OK, domain knowledge and all.
But, Superman? Unknown dark druid?

>>90929314
Hey now, don't diss Boomerang. Guy is a Flash threat. But yeah the movie really did miss the point of the squad. The soldier escort and redeeming qualities are proof of that

>>90929314
Nah. She tricked a bunch of people into making the meme team she wanted for years by using Superman as an excuse. There's no way she legitimately thought they could take down anything Superman-level.

>Clark the same way it would hurt Bruce or Ollie or Hal or anyone else.
His durability is still there though so it's not the same. Superman basically has two layers of defense: his hardened skin and his invulnerability to physical damage. Magic bypasses his invulnerability, but doesn't necessarily harm him the same way it would a normal human, since he's not a normal human. That's why SHAZAM lightning doesn't instantly kill him.

>>90933010
How's that even make sense, anyway?

>>90931951
It amazes me how much off the mark it was. That shit was not Ostrander Squad. It's like if Waypool met Hot Topic.

Yes. Very dumb.

How is Slipknot a challenge for fucking FIRESTORM?

>>90933567
Well that's a tricky question considering his power level has always been in flux, sometimes he's even a meta. Meta Boomerang can toss projectiles at super speed, outside of that, trick shots that Barry often has a hard time predicting. Though what helps the latter is often those bommerangs explode

>>90933609
dude, he can CLIMB ANYTHING!

Yes anon, Jaquita Smith the makeup lady also played Amanda Waller. If you ever actually stuck around during the credits you would know that.

>>90933609
Isn't this more of an example of how DC villains are mostly shit with a small few gems.

>Green Lantern has a guy that throws yellow javelins.
>Superman has a guy made of puzzle pieces
>Flash has a guy who can run really slow
>Wonder Woman has some lady who dresses up as a snowman, no snow or ice powers, just dresses up as a snowman and uses a gun
>Martian Manhunter has a guy that belted a tiny flamethrower to his chest, and failed to make his costume fireproof

villain lists are a lot of shit with 3-5 decent ones

>>90934610
Blue Snowman isn't just some chick in a costume, she's a chick in powered armor that can summon blizzards.
