Suicide Squad!

The epic new revelatory genius comic book adaptation of DC's Suicide Squad  has been unveiled, after the version shown to the exclusive Hall H audience at San Diego's Comic-Con was leaked online. Warner Brothers have nailed almost every single comic book adaptation so far. I am rather psyched for the super villains of the DC universe to be shown on the big screen for everyone to see. Simply because this would never happen at Marvel's cinematic universe. I am obsessed with watching the trailer on repeat, to work out what is happening, and also Googling every single character on the cast list to work out which villain they're playing and which character they are the antagonist of. The main character is Batman who will be portrayed by the completely fresh and new to comic book world (other than Daredevil) Ben Affleck.

But there is so much to be excited for, as this is simply the beginning of a one minute and 59 second teaser full of new and exciting Star Wars nuggets to be devoured.

I am a sucker for a book that ends up being translated to the big screen. I will always watch the trailer for the film and then get so interested in the book, that I read after something like this interests me, that I wish I wasn't going to see it being portrayed on the big screen; because that is where it will most likely have cuts and edits to the story and structure and the portrayal of the characters that will completely alter what I thought about everything from my own wild imagination. But ultimately, and hopefully all filmmakers who know that a good book can translate to the big screen with the right amount of understanding for the original text, will create something that the author intended and that fans of the book can delve into with the right amount of respect for the books intensity and feeling. W ild by Cheryl Strayed, happens to be just this exact description of a memoir, the second of the books that has been translated to the big screen that is basically an
