DC’s Suicide Squad is no Marvel

SUICIDE Squad was supposed open a new front in the war for the hearts and minds of comic book fans. 

The spoils have until now gone to Marvel Studios and its witty, humane adaptations of Iron Man, Captain America, et al.

Huffing and puffing in second place are DC Comics and its parent Warner Brothers, which plumbed the depths with this year’s Super v Batman: Dawn of Justice, two and a half hours of adolescent sulking masquerading as a summer blockbuster.
