New DVD releasecharacters, james, killing, servant, squad, story, suicide

Over the months and years that have led up to The Suicide Squad’s August release, writer-director James Gunn has been very clear: He can kill off anyone. And with a cast as overstuffed with characters as this movie, that’s hardly a surprise. Genuinely, without knowing ourselves about who lives and who dies in The Suicide Squad, are there really many folks out there ready to weep tears of sorrow over the loss of villains like… Polka-Dot Man or or T.D.K.?
