James Gunn: THE SUICIDE SQUAD “Is What It Is”

2179

While out promoting BRIGHTBURN (a crazy-ass “What if a superman came to Earth from another planet as a child, wasn’t handsome and good, and became a F’n villain” horror movie!), the film’s producer — James Gunn – was asked about his upcoming THE SUICIDE SQUAD, which he’s writing and directing.

Check it…

JG won’t tell you whether or not it’s reboot or sequel, but I will: It’s BOTH.

I know that blows the mind of the shared universe/continuity/it’s ALL gotta connect police, but that’s exactly what TSS is.

I’ll be its own thing, but won’t negate — or even mention — its predecessor.   AND…

I’m not thinking we’ll be seeing Batfleck in this one. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

(Thanks to Rick Shew — who thinks he does stuff for BOF — for the heads up, I guess.)

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
