"It’s A 'Dirty Dozen' With Supervillains": David Ayer Talks 'Suicide Squad'

No matter where you stand on David Ayer's box-office topping "Fury," there's no debating the man can shoot the hell out of an action sequence. The World War II film effectively delivers the tension, fear, and unrelenting nature of war, and it's a feat made more impressive given how many movies in the genre are already out there. Ayer made it his own, which makes his upcoming gig directing "Suicide Squad," for release in 2016, all the more intriguing. And he's revealing what he can about the superhero movie that has unenviable assignment of being the first post-"Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice" release in Warner Bros.' massive DC Comics blockbuster plan. But Ayer is ready to bring the noise.

“I can say that it’s a 'Dirty Dozen' with supervillains,” he told Empire. “Then I can ask the question, ‘Does a movie really need good guys?’”

It's certainly an interesting question, particularly with the movie arriving before WB gets to standalone efforts...
