Warner Bros. Plans Suicide Squad Supervillain Films

Suicide SquadVariety reports that Warner Bros. has purchased the film rights to Suicide Squad from D.C. Comics. These comics are focused on supervillains instead of superheroes.
In a departure from normal comic-based fare, "Suicide Squad" concentrates on a group of incarcerated supervillains rather than the usual focus on superheroes. The first version of the squad debuted in a 1959 DC Comic, and a series was launched in 1987.

Stephen Gilchrist from Lin Pictures will co-produce. Justin Marks ("20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "Hack/Slash," "Street Fighter") is penning the screenplay.

"Suicide Squad" will feature a mix of well-known and unknown villains recruited by the government to accomplish a task deemed too dangerous for superheroes. The historically independent operators must bury their own interpersonal conflicts and agendas to form a cohesive unit to take on a singular task.
Using supervillains sounds like an interesting twist. Justin Marks will need to do better than he did with the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea script. Wikipedia has more details on the Suicide Squad comics.
