I've not seen SS in theaters yet to know how bad Deadshot is, but yeah, all of his defining characteristics seem gone. Eh, at least they referenced his FA costume in that scene with his daughter. That's gotta count for something... But the truth is, they got a very unique character and stripped him of the things that made him standout. Smith-Shot is pretty much Taskmaster personality wise.

This counted for a whole lot of something.

How can you even judge if you haven't seen the flick yet? I thought Smith pulled the character off just fine.

Obviously it was intentional. That's my point. Deathstroke in that situation puts one between her eyes.

Nope, go back and read the source material. Harley and Deadshot's relationship is borderline **** for free. Smith did a great job as the new 52's DS.

Nu 52 junk doesn't exist in my mind. But like I said before, I have no problem with Deadshot behaving that way. Even in the stuff he was in in the '80s he was flawed and emotional at times. Because he was just some dude without a strong moral compass who had good aim. He tried to commit suicide by cop at one point. Deathstroke. . .not so much.

I understand that Smith get's some **** for his other roles but I don't see how people can say he did a bad job in this...

In terms of how the character was written he did a good job and excelled in the role.

My whole issue is that Will Smith typically plays Will Smith in roles. I wanted someone else for this role.

Who though? Put any of the A-List actors in that role and 9/10 all you're going to see is the actor.

I could see someone like Josh Brolin playing Deadshot. Someone that could be more of a hardass.

Well define "A-list." If you're restricting that to Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Chris Pratt, and the Rock, then I agree with you. But very solid actors who can anchor major movies like Tom Hardy, Ryan Gosling, Benedict Cumberbatch, or Mark Ruffalo have demonstrated considerable range in their performances.

Probably best to move on after DC used him as Jonah Hex

True, there are a lot of actors I'd consider A-list that may not have headlined a summer blockbuster.

Have you read any of the New 52 Suicide Squad stuff? It's actually really great.

Should have gone for a C-Lister then. Just look at RDJ, there's a whole generation who know him only as Tony Stark and now years later he's making millions from it.

Most definitely. However, I didn't care for the way Deadshot was written in this movie. I wanted less jokes and more ruthlessness in the character.

All I know is that if kara gave this movie a D+ (or was it a C-) and he liked it more than BvS then what i'm going to experience tomorrow will be some Oscar level ****!

"Not even karamazov80 could bring himself to hate it" should be added to all the TV spots.
