I am – Hercules!!


DC Comics’ Suicide Squad, a supersecret government agency that used DC supervillains to carry out missions deemed too dangerous for non-scumbags, is in the works at Warner Bros.

No definitive word on which supervillians will be utilized for the movie, but those serving on the squad in the funnybooks include Batman enemies Penguin, Poison Ivy and Deadshot, Flash enemies Captain Boomerang and Captain Cold, Green Arrow enemy Count Vertigo, Atom enemy Chronos, Justice League enemy Doctor Light, and Superman enemy Parasite.

How cool would be a movie teaming the DC Universe's greatest villains? My suspicion? Very. We can only hope that Warner Bros. gives the filmmakers the freedom to use any of DC's A-list ne'er-do-wells.

Justin Marks, whose super-prison screenplay “Supermax” utilized wrongly accused DC icon Green Arrow as well as its own giant cast of established DC supervillainy, is scripting “Suicide Squad.”

I’m guessing Warner is moving ahead with this because of the strong early reviews for “Watchmen,” which also deals with unsavory superpeople.
