[Suicide Squad game spoilers]

The most underwhelming about thing about Kill The Justice League is that they commit to the bit without actually committing to the bit. What do you know, you actually do kill the Justice League... by shooting bullet sponges until they ragdoll onto the ground. There's no cleverness, no story, and not even a cutscene except for one. I was expecting King Shark to bite someone's head off at minimum.

Though this might be explained by leaks and datamining suggesting the JL gets resurrected or was never killed at all. So they didn't commit to the bit whatsoever.

looking SO disrespectfully rn

I will preface this by saying I am not into the whole live action superhero thing that's been going on for the last 20 years (I specify live action, because animated Miles Morales Spiderman is the exception for me).

Today while at the gym, I got my first exposure to DC's Suicide Squad. I only caught the last 30 minutes of the movie while walking on the treadmill. The TV was like 35 feet away, too far to even read subtitles, and I was listening to music at the time. With that context, here's my thoughts:

So this one-eyed dude shows up to terrorize the city, and my first thought is - Is this an episode of MST3K?

Then out of it's armpit flies all these tiny starfish that latched onto people's faces, ala alien style.

It's a good thing I didn't see this in theaters, because I have never had such a hard time stifling giggles in public.

Then this guy shows up, and at first I thought that they'd forgotten to CG out his dot suit, but nope that's just his superhero outfit.

What's your superhero name, bud? Mr. Wonderbread?

Then out of nowhere, somebody bitch slapped Viola Davis. It's a good thing treadmills have handles, because I about died when she dropped out of frame. Hope she's okay.

Then Barbie jumped inside the starfish, and every rat in the city followed her. Even though I was wondering if she was going to drown, it was somehow shot as this ethereal beautifully scene???

Also, did they spend the entire budget on that fat starfish's jiggle physics? It was so bouncy...

Spoilers for Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #1!

You can see some preview pages here.

Digger actually doesn't appear much in the issue -- these two pages, plus the one-panel cameo from the preview are the extent of it -- but he still manages to be memorable. The issue mostly sets up the backstory and premise of the new video game, establishing very clearly how cruel Arkham Asylum is and the cold arrogance of Amanda Waller, along with the desperation of the inmates. It's not at all surprising that they'd be willing to do her bidding to get out of that place, even at the potential cost of their own lives. Presumably the worldwide chaos mentioned at the end is part of the game, the reason why the Squad is sent to kill the Justice League. (I haven't played it.)

So there's not a whole lot to talk about in terms of Digger here, but he'll probably get more attention in future issues as the Squad moves into action. This one was more about set-up. I thought it was pretty good at what it intended to do, as it tells us a lot about the situation the inmates find themselves in and thus ultimately about their motivations. Plus, they're not wrong about Digger just being a garden-variety asshole! It's good that he's not being lumped in with the psychos, he's just a big jerk.

OMG this took so long to do I hope it's appreciated.

and… so I found out that in the new video game in the same universe as Arkham Knight… Tim is killed. BY BATMAN. Will Tim Drake ever have peace in any DC universe? Why is he just killed or forgotten by DC? Yet he is one of our generation's most beloved…
