Warner Bros. is pushing "Suicide Squad" forward. According a source from Variety, David Ayer ("Fury") is courted to helm a "dark and edgy" adaptation of DC Comics' supervillain team from a script by Justin Marks. Dan Lin ("The Lego Movie") serves as a producer.

The story revolves around a group of convicted villains in DC Comics Universe who were given a second chance for redemption. Employed by the government, they are sent on high-risk black ops missions which likely end up killing them all.

Editors' Pick

There are various incarnations of "Suicide Squad" in the comics, but Deadshot, King Shark and Amanda Waller are among the mainstays in the anti-hero team. Harley Quinn from Batman comics was a New 52 addition and could open the door for a possible crossover with The Dark Knight.
