Early buzz for the third instalment in the DC cinematic universe, Suicide Squad, has been overwhelmingly positive, which will no doubt come as sweet relief to those disappointed by Zack Snyder’s boring brawlers, The Independent reports.
Suicide Squad has always had a lot of potential, seeming fun and irreverent compared to DC’s usual po-faced films, which like a delusional teen, are usually too busy trying to seem grown up to realise how bad they really are.

He credits his success to three core techniques, name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.
