Now, a lot of those folks are trying to drum up support for the David Ayer Cut of “Suicide Squad.” Though everyone agrees that the original director’s cut of that film is likely better than the shoddy theatrical cut that was released, there doesn’t seem to be any indication that WB has any interest in actually putting money into it, especially considering James Gunn has taken that world and revamped it with his “The Suicide Squad” and “Peacemaker” projects.
