This ain't no task force. Welcome to the [Suicide Squad]
Hi everyone and welcome to my Floyd Lawton Appreciation Thread.
Deadshot (real name Floyd Lawton) is a fictional character who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of Batman. He has traditionally been portrayed as a supervillain, but has more recently taken the role of an antihero. The character first appears in Batman #59 (June/July 1950) and was created by Bob Kane, David Vern Reed and Lew Schwartz. As the world's deadliest and most accurate marksman, Deadshot has become a staple member of both the Suicide Squad and Secret Six.
What Wikipedia fails to mention there is that he is the best character DC comics has in their whole stable, but they keep reverting my edits.
Let's look at some of Floyd Lawton's greatest hits:
Oh also he is being played by Will Smith in a movie that comes out this week.
I guess you might be interested in that too.

Which would seem crass and immature, but then, it was about David Ayer
Also who the fuck cast Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang because I'll throw that person into the sun

and most impressions i've seen say he's fine, mostly just underutilized
Stop trying to make Jai Courtney happen

Jai Courtney is on screen in Jack Reacher and during the entire time he is, it was quite tolerable.
That is the nicest thing I will ever say about Jai Courtney.
Hey dog
Spoiler that shit
It should go without saying for a movie that is not even out yet and which at least some people on this forum are looking forward to
I don't care if you don't think it's important, or if you don't think it matters because you don't think the movie is good
Spoiler your spoilers
I know I pretty constantly dog on the guy. But Sam Worthington as Captain Boomerang has been super fun in all the trailers.
Super bummed. Get your shit together DC
Ouch.
80's as fuck.
I can't hold too much ill will towards this movie, as it is responsible for those trades finally getting reprinted
Oh my god
He's got a bow and he's named William Hell?
God damn I love comic books

You'll never guess what his real name is...
His real name is William Heller
William Hell is just a pseudonym
He's a weird white supermacist vigilante who goes out and fights crime
But while he turns over people of color that he takes down to the cops, he will try to get the white ones to join up with a white supremacist organization instead
Does he have a piece of equipment or a method of transport or a secret hideout he calls the Overture

I watch him because I find I have pretty similar taste in movies, so hopefully that means I'll enjoy it.
Someone has started an online petition to shut down Rotten Tomatoes for obvious prejudice against DC movies.
cool
cooool
@Blankzilla
Should've gotten Michael Bay to direct with Will Smith as Deadshot and have it be basically Bad Boys 3
double sold

But having said that, it's a DC movie, which makes me think the critics might have a point.
Also David Ayer is awful, the more i read about him. Apparently he did Fury I think? I really liked that, weird.
Maybe you'll like it
What movie got screwed by critics?
The cast did a press junket recently, and all they could talk about in regards to David Ayer is how the dude is fucking bonkers.
As in he would try to inspire actors by slapping them, telling them to call each other names, bringing up traumatizing memories that were shared in confidence, and in one case, tried to get Will Smith into character by telling him to pretend that someone had just dropped a fetus onto a table.
What the fuck, DC?
I like your positivity vow, I will cross my fingers as I do like a lot of awful crap unironically
EDIT: yeeesh
but fuck it, at least we get to see it with a group of mates, should be a good time regardless
