Suicide Squad cancelled!

Quote :

Recently, Arrow showrunners revealed that there are preliniary talks with The CW for a spinoff starring Bradon Routh's ATOM.  However, before talk of an ATOM-spinoff began, there was chatter about a possible Suicide Squad series.  However, it sounds as if David Ayer's Suicide Squad movie means that plans for a Suicide Squad TV show are not moving forward.  Here's what Arrow writer Keto Shimizu told MTV:


"You’ll be seeing the Squad in the season, but it will be different. It will be a different Squad [than the one in the Arrow 2.5 comic book], and this run sort of helps set that up… Why the Squad looks different when you see them again; and some of the issues they’ll have to deal with heading into season three."

The conversation then jump to what WB is planning for the live-action Suicide Squad movie and how that effects what Arrow is doing with Taskforce X.

"There’s certainly a lot happening in the film world on the “Suicide Squad,” and we’re all excited to see what they’re going to do with these characters we all love, and see their interpretation come to life.
Obviously, DC, they’d rather not have multiple versions of their characters happening in film and TV. Certainly that affects what we’re allowed to do in regards to Suicide Squad. But at the same time we exist in a totally different universe, and our characters are going to be very different from their version of the characters.

We’re just trying to tell the best story we can with the people we’ve already established, and to make the best version of it that we’re allowed to do.... as much as a lot of us would like to see a “Suicide Squad” TV show exist, in light of what’s happening in the film world, it doesn’t seem like it’s a possibility."


Arrow returns with all-new episodes to The CW on Jan. 21, at 8PM.

Fucking hell that title scared me. I thought the movie was cancelled. Anyway, who cares. While Arrow's Suicide Squad is cool they aren't interesting enough for a TV series. Atom series though? Fuck yeah!

ARROW's Suicide Squad To Return

Quote :

Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad are returning to Arrow in s03e18, "Suicidal Tendencies."  However Michael Jai White's Bronze Tiger won't be present and Sean Maher's Shrapnel is of  course, deceased.  Joining the team will be Amy Gumenick's Cupid.  Also confirmed to return is Michael Rowe's Deadshot.  However, it's a most likely a safe bet that A.R.G.U.S. will dispatch more than just two members of Taskforce X. Will Harley Quinn be released?  We also know that Manu Bennett's Deathstroke will be returning in episode 14, "The Return".  In between episode 14 and 18, could Deathstroke become an official member of the team?  While this news is exciting, bear in mind that we're several weeks away from this episode's air date. For now, Oliver (Stephen Amell) simply has to heal up and return to protecting his home of Starling City from the criminal machinations of Ra's al Ghul (Matt Nable).




Arrow returns tonight will all new episodes on The CW at 8PM.
