Countdown to Suicide Squad: 2 interesting characters


TWO. MORE. DAYS. UNTIL. SUICIDE SQUAD! Are you ready for the most exciting comicbook movie this year? With a lot of combustible elements in the movie, Suicide Squad will surely be an entertaining movie. To say the very least, these are bad guys... The patsies... They're some sort of "suicide squad". As bad guys, it wouldn't be a surprise if some members of the SKWAD turn their backs against the team. 

Months back, someone wrote that all SKWAD members are possible villains in the movie. Although the article made "sense," it wasn't consistent to the reports and trailers that came out recently. From the initial list, there are two characters that made a lot of sense. And let us back it up with concrete evidences from the trailers and reports.

2. Katana

In the Suicide Squad trailer, WB revealed something interesting. Its a short frame that if you blinked your eyes at that moment, you'll probably miss it. Here's the exact frame from the trailer.


Is WB revealing too much about this frame? They could actually be. At first glance, it might seem that Katana is being spunned by that green alien thing. Its the same entity (we think so) from the alien in the subway station. But if you look closer, you'll see Katana weilding her sword towards Harley Quinn (bottom right or the frame).

This frame spells magic all over. With the absence of magic in BvS, Suicide Squad may be an important movie to the DCEU as it establishes the world of magic in the Extended Universe. We might be reading into the frame way too much, but it is a logical possibility. Remember, Katana was never a team player in Batman and the Outsiders. She even had a hard time finding herselve in the Birds of Prey.

Our wild guess: Katana is Batman's spy.

1. June Moon/Enchantress

This is where things get interesting. For months now, people have been speculating that Enchantress is the big bad wolf in the movie. Her absence in the SKWAD photos and her crying scenes suggest that she is the "TR-8R" of the group. She could very well be and here's why...


She was never chosen by Amanda Waller to be part of the SKWAD. From the frame above, we see the six characters chosen for the SKWAD--Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc, Captain Boomerang, Slipknot, and El Diablo (Where's Katana as well? See... So Katana is a possible villain). These scenes begs the question--where the hell is June Moon/Enchantress? Then we freakin see her!


Apparently June Moon, the host for Enchantress, works for the White House. In this frame, we see June Moon discussing some stuff with some White House agent shit. Just look at that logo, she's some government loko who's probably one of the SKWAD's overseer.

In the comics, June Moon didn't join the team because she was a criminal, no! She joined the team in hopes to learn how to control the evil entity that possessed her. Ostrander and McDonnell's arc for Suicide Squad runs parallel to what the DCEU is marketing. With reports saying that David AYer used comicbook canon, it is hard not to look at Nightshade Odyssey as the blueprint for the movie. In that same story arc, June Moon lost control and Enchantress took over her body.


Our wild guess: Suicide Squad - Nightshade Odyssey will be adopted in the movie.
