So, it’s no surprise that the film is on track for a big opening weekend. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Suicide Squad is on track to open with a huge $125 million over the August 5th weekend. While it’s still early days, some box office analysts are expecting the number to reach $135 million. If the tracking holds, the DC film will surpass Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy ($94.3 million) for the biggest August opening weekend ever. An…

Last year, it was confirmed that Ben Affleck’s Batman will appear in the Suicide Squad movie. Since then, we’ve seen glimpses of him in the marketing, but the exact nature of his role – clearly more than a mere cameo – is unknown. Now, writer-director David Ayer sheds some light. Collider spoke with Ayer on the set of Suicide Squad last year, and during the interview, he talks about Batman. He says that the Dark Knight’s role stems from his connections to many of the Squad members, including Joker, Harley Quinn and Deadshot. So, it would make sense to include Batman in some capacity. Despite Warner Bros.’ love for Batman,…
