I wonder if 'Suicide Squad' should now have its own separate board.  Even though Batman might not feature in it surely it counts as a 'Batman' film of sorts, as much as "Gotham" counts as a Batman TV show.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the first live-action interpretation of Croc.

Looking forward to it, too. Excited that they're embracing this side of the Batman mythos.

It definitely looks as if this franchise is going to be a lot more 'fantastical' than the 'realistic' Nolan series, as well as it should bearing in mind that I don't think a 'realistic' cinematic world could credibly accommodate Superman.

Seems like it's a good casting decision. AAA is perfect for a guy to portray a brutish character.

Be careful what you wish for. For all we know, they could be going for a 'grounded' version like the one from the Joker graphic novel, where Killer Croc is depicted as a muscular man who suffers from a skin condition.





In other news, Scott Eastwood - the son of Clint Eastwood - has joined the cast. It's rumoured around the 'net that he'll play Steve Trevor - Wonder Woman's love interest.

Good casting with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc.

Not really familiar with his LOST work, but know him best as Simon Adebisi on HBO's Oz, and the character he played was absolutely ruthless.
