DC Kills Hopes For Fan-Anticipated Alternate Movie Version

It’s safe to say that the version of Suicide Squad we got was no good, as it was universally panned by critics and audiences alike. Apparently, Ayer’s cut of the film included quite a bit more material, including Jared Leto’s Joker getting additional screen time, a romance between Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Will Smith’s Deadshot, more on-screen deaths, and more story for several characters.

The character Diablo would have also survived the film, while the theatrical cut had the character dying after sacrificing himself. 

In other words, it sounds like David Ayer’s cut of Suicide Squad would have at least been a more fleshed-out film. Whether or not it would have been much better remains to be seen, but this wouldn’t be the first time a DCEU film was sliced up to create a lesser version that was released to theaters. Fans still have the Snyder Cut of Justice League fresh on their minds, which is undoubtedly part of the reason the demand for the Ayer cut is so strong.
