DC EntertainmentĭEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR Titans (DC Universe, Season 2, date TBA) Sounds Familiar: The year before Deadshot’s disco-era revival, Marvel introduced Bullseye, another masked assassin who boasts that he “never misses a shot.” Who is the sharper shooter? Ben Affleck might be a good judge of that - as the title character of Daredevil (2003) he battled Bullseye (Colin Farrell) and in Suicide Squad his Batman was in Deadshot’s sights.īig Difference: Deadshot has no super powers, he relies on talent and training, which makes him similar to, say, Batman and Green Arrow - but makes him unique among the five characters in our spotlight.
Deadshot has been portrayed as a conflicted crook or even anti-hero at times. Probably with Kryptonite bullets.'Deadpool 3' Star Ryan Reynolds On The Pitch That Convinced Hugh Jackman To Return To Play Wolverineīackground: Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot, wore a top hat and tux when he was first introduced in a 1950 issue of Batman but the character didn’t become a formal fan-favorite until his 1977 redesign by artist Marshall Rogers, who gave the hitman his signature look: wrist-mounted guns and a sleek metal helmet with a target scope over the right eye.
One thing stays the same, though…how did he land in the Squad? For shooting Superman. There’s probably going to be a significantly different backstory for the big screen version of Bloodsport, but at the moment no other details are available.
In the comics, those weapons were supplied by Lex Luthor (which, among other things, allowed Bloodsport to fire Kryptonite bullets at Supes because of course). The comics character is a walking arsenal, literally able to teleport weapons into his hands as needed. So what makes Bloodsport special? Weapons, baby. The guilt, after Michael was left severely injured in combat, was too much for Robert, and he lost his mind. This version of Bloodsport was Robert DuBois, a draft dodger who escaped serving in the Vietnam War, allowing his brother Michael to go and fight in his place. He first appeared in Superman #4 in 1987, where he was created by John Byrne. The character of Bloodsport is, in proper Suicide Squad fashion, a very minor one in DC Comics history. Initially believed to be a replacement for Will Smith’s Deadshot (he wasn’t), and with tons of speculation that his character was everyone from Bronze Tiger to the Adrian Chase version of Vigilante, it was finally revealed at DC Fandome that Elba is playing Bloodsport.
After over a year of speculation, Idris Elba’s character in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad (don’t call it Suicide Squad 2!) was revealed.
