Here’s What ‘Suicide Squad’ Needs to Succeed

Ben Affleck as Batman

Expand the Universe

The DC Expanded Universe is planned out for quite a while, and it will be important as we move forward to have connections between films. This is a universe, for goodness’ sake, so there needs to be a real history present.

Luckily, the filmmakers clearly realize this. The inclusion of Batman and the recognition of the relationship between he and the Joker should do wonders for the underlying mythology. In addition, it appears that a certain other member of the Justice League is going to cameo in Suicide Squad, so I have a feeling that universe expansion will be the least of our worries.
