Suicide Squad

DC Comics enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe by dusting off a collection of Batman's foes over the years.  Ben Affleck as Batman makes a nice appearance to kick things off.  We've got the Joker  (Jared Leto), his girlfriend Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), Boomerang (somebody), The Flame (somebody else) and the gratuitous Croc Man.  This motley crew is deputized and Col. Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman) is tasked with leading them, at peril of death.

Will Smith notes the suicide mission and the Suicide Squad is born.  They go off to save New York City - again.  Actually it's Gotham City now.  The kick is that these super villians are like WMD's and must be contained for national security reasons, less they fall into the wrong hands.

Forgive me if I can't remember much of the plot. It's the basic save the world from destruction which I have seen several times this summer, Captain American, Ghostbusters, Batman v. Superman.

But good new characters and a nice set up for more going forward.
