With Deadshot murdered and Kord finally at their mercy, will the Suicide Squad get their revenge once and for all? One central element of this series has been like a twig caught in your shoe, a nagging weirdness that just doesn't add up Last issue, that concern got cleared up in the most plausible of[...]

Wait, no, don't leave, hang on, it's all right! While the idea of the old "Bwa-ha-ha" guy as a manipulative villain type who tried to overthrow a country for profit may seem, on its face, ridiculous, there's more than meets the eye like Mirage hanging out with Hound. Once you get past that one weird bit[...]

It'll read better and make more sense, because this issue is all about Mister Floyd Lawton, who does business under the name Deadshot, and the creative team does everything they possibly can to do right by him. The cover of Suicide Squad #7 Credit: DC Comics Lawton has a full pardon for the many, many horrible bullet[...]

Zoe Lawton is the daughter of DC Comics character, Deadshot, or Floyd Lawton She was created by Christos N Gage and Steven Cummings, first appearing in Deadshot Vol 2 #1 A time that Deadshot was a little bit tetchy about… well… There was a history there you see Deadshot had been a father. And now he was[...]

During their DC@Home Day One panel for this year's digital SDCC, DC introduced a panel of creators who gathered to talk about killing two of their characters gleefully: Atomic Skull and Deadshot Editor Jamie S Rich introduced writer Tom Taylor, saying, "He's known for killing…" To which Tom interjected with a gleefully murderous tone, and a glint[...]

I'm not gonna lie … it's never ended well." With a wonderful nostalgic twist from Wes Abbott, Bruno Redondo and Adriano Lucas turn in a fight scene that's really, really good that leads to an epic time stalling one-on-one between Batman and Deadshot Just when it gets good, the interaction between the two characters gets even[...]

Redondo also has a great mastery of the body language of each character — the barely repressed, calculated rage of Osita; the confidence Deadshot has in his aim, the initiative of Jog, and so on All of that is fantastic to see. Tom Taylor's scripting is the king of this kind of characterization, giving, in particular,[...]

Deadshot has been out of the spotlight since the demise of Suicide Squad in theaters Floyd has made quite of a name for himself over the years and he defiantly deserves a spot in Batman's Rogues Gallery This is one of five statues for this multi part collectibles piece Deadshot is sporting his classic outfit[...]

A deception has been perpetrated against Lok, the angry new handler of Task Force X, and the legacy members (King Shark, Deadshot and Harley Quinn) are trying to catch up as Osita, Fin, Deadly Six, Wink, Thylacine, The Aerie, Jog and Chaos Kitten mostly get chances to distinguish themselves beyond rudimentary displays of power The[...]

(DC Comics, creative team: Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Adriano Lucas, Wes Abbott) There are surprises large and small in this very clever, very mean

Deadshot is ready to claim his kill with the new Prime 1 Studio Premium DC Comics Statue This statue will have two separate versions available with the Prime 1 exclusive one coming with a third head featuring his classic appearance Both Deadshot statues will feature a special LED light up head that defiantly brings the[...]

Beginning in Detective Comics #1009, the "Take Your Shot" storyline will see Deadshot and Batman team-up! It begins when Batman is concerned that the former villain will revert to his pre-Suicide Squad ways without the influence of Amanda Waller, but it turns out the reason Deadshot came to Gotham City was to seek out Batman's[...]

Most recently Viola Davis– why would Amanda Waller be back if this film isn't connected to the previous one? We digress. Actor Idris ElbaPhoto by Denis Makarenko / Shutterstock.com The newest bit of information comes from Variety, who now say Idris Elba, thought to be replacing Will Smith as Deadshot in the film, is not actually playing Deadshot. The outlet says[...]

Mera tries to manage the new politics of Atlantis being on the surface while Aquaman stops the Suicide Squad from bombing the city. Is it a good read?

But I somehow won the Deadshot category and got to win a trip to SDCC and rep DC as their Deadshot! It was a dream come true, and I owe it all to the magnificent people who voted for me! You can find Brandon on Instagram and The Food Chain on FB! Continuing on with our[...]

Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay is an R rated feature following the antics of the current squad- Deadshot, Bronze tiger, Captain Boomerang, Killer Frost, Copperhead,[...]

This past week's Superman #28 and Batman #28 both look at war in a way. They approach it in similar fashion, but display it in completely different manners.

I've had my fun, let you all know how I feel about the Dark Knight, and was going to just give it a rest until another creative team takes over or there was something worth talking about. Then I heard that Batman #28 has a knockdown-drag-out between two of my favorite DC Comics rogues: Deathstroke the Terminator[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Batman #28 from DC Comics by writer Tom King and artists Mikel Janín and June Chung is the next part in The War of Jokes and Riddles Bat-event, as Bruce continues his post-coital story of his biggest early failure in his career as Batman. This issue features Batman being pushed far enough to almost kill,[...]

This week's Versus is slightly different in that I think it would make for one hell of a mini-series / graphic novel… I'd happily pay to read a Deadshot vs Deathstroke series done in an over-the-top John Wick style action thriller Both characters have been portrayed as the villain and as the anti-hero and have[...]

It seems that Will Smith, most recently Deadshot in DC's Suicide Squad, is eyeing a role in Tim Burton's live-action remake of the Disney classic Dumbo The studio is aggressively moving forward on this project with a script by Ehren Kruger, which could be a roadblock in the path as Smith is currently lined up[...]

Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Boomerang… Warner Bros is still looking for their home run and their Kevin Feige A shame that they don't recognize they already have all of that on television. Here the folks at Cinema Sins point out 20 minutes worth of problems with the film… which may be being kind. https://youtu.be/NH5YLq412WcVideo can't be loaded because[...]

Now, it seems that Warner Bros may also be developing a Deadshot spinoff starring Will Smith. OR ARE THEY? The news comes from Heroic Hollywood, who write in a headline, "Warner Bros Developing Deadshot Spinoff Movie With Will Smith." In the article itself, they write, "After the success of Suicide Squad, it is being reported by The Hollywood[...]

These videos would've been helpful prior to the film's theatrical release being that some of the characters have never really been featured outside of comics… but we're getting them now. Here are the Squadtroducitons for Deadshot, Slipknot and Enchantress. https://youtu.be/g6m-ABG_iLIVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Suicide Squad | Squadtroductions – Deadshot | Warner Bros[...]

Arrow fans will recognize actor Michael Rowe as Deadshot, long before Will Smith slid on his white helmet But with Suicide Squad's recent film, the television series killed off their version of Floyd Lawton. So how does this get us to Ninjak? Rowe tweeted the following on the 26th. Secret project Announcement coming soon… #Ninja@ValiantComics @BatintheSun pic.twitter.com/7wa4dCYML0 —[...]

If you look on Rotten Tomatoes, you'll find that the Suicide Squad has a low score with the critics (26%) and a decent score with the fans (72%). This is
