Geoff Johns Hints At Basis Of Suicide Squad
Probably the hardest thing when making a movie based on a comic book property is where to begin? After all, comics constantly get revamped and re-booted, and nearly every version has fans who claim their favorite is the best. Geoff Johns, DC’s Entertainment Chief Creative Officer has given a pretty big hint a what era the upcoming Suicide Squad movie is most likely based on.

Geoff Johns praising of Jon Ostrander’s Suicide Squad run, which was about 70 issues in the late 80s and early 90s, might be a good indicator of what the upcoming movie will be based around. He also did an 8-issue miniseries in 2007 which featured many of the characters that will be in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie. Of course, Geoff Johns may not be hinting at the basis for the movie and is simply looking to promote one of his favorite runs on the comic in conjunction with announcement of the film’s cast. Either way, excited fans may want to start getting a read on those comic, which are currently available on Comixology. We’ll found out when the Suicide Squad movie releases on August 5th, 2016.
