David Mazouz Loved Suicide Squad

Gotham star David Mazouz really loved Suicide Squad

Suicide Squad may not be winning over critics, but they apparently have made a fan of the young man destined to Batman. David Mazouz, who plays young Bruce Wayne on the pre-Batman Fox TV show Gotham recently saw Suicide Squad and was very impressed with it. He also compared the film to his own show Gotham, where the villain are big fan favorites:

"I just saw Suicide Squad. I loved it!You love them. They were bad guys, but you love them. And that is something that we do on Gotham, if you look at someone like the Penguin. Any other incarnation of the Penguin that you see in the comic books, he’s evil and just kind of this… and in Earth One by Geoff Johns, I’m thinking about it because I just read it, he’s this mayor, and he’s just evil. He’s bad. There’s nothing redeeming about him. He’s just a bad guy. But with Gotham, you like him. He has redeeming qualities, he cares about his mom. And Robin Lord Taylor kills it, but you know that you’re doing something right when you’re rooting for the bad guy. He’s a terrible, terrible person. He kills people with absolutely no regret. But you like him.When you think about it, it’s insane that fans are voting for the bad guy. You know you’re doing something right. That’s what Gotham is. That’s what Suicide Squad did perfectly, also. They’re these terrible people that — Deadshot, he’s this hit man that has no regard for life, I mean, he said it. ‘I sleep like a baby even though I kill people on a daily basis,’ and Harley Quinn is just this — but you like them because they have redeeming qualities. They’re fun."
