Elements From Other Media

Even though Will Smith's Deadshot has a good bit of touch from the comic books, he isn't entirely "˜comic booky'! There are elements in his costume that have been adapted from video game and live-action versions. The big panel of body armor that you see in this new version of the character comes from the Batman: Arkham video game series. That's identical to the one of Arrow's Deadshot – played by Michael Rowe "“ as well.

The high tech, silvery armor bits that we see in the comic books are missing in Will Smith's version, while his Deadshot has a more functional-looking body armor "“ something that you've first seen in the Batman: Arkham games.

A Spiritual & Emotional Deadshot

In the team photo, if you look at the expression of each of the members, you find either a devilish smile or a badass rage. But Will Smith's character seems to have a bit of melancholy in his expression. There is indeed fury and rage on his face "“ no doubt about that, but there seems to be some kind of a struggle, some kind of a pain underneath"“ not sure though.

Maybe Will Smith's Floyd Lawton also has a daughter "“ just like in the comic books "“ and he regrets deeply the way his path in life has impacted her. There also seems to be some spirituality in this character. In his collar, you get to see the quote "I AM THE LIGHT "“ THE WAY." This seems to be a jumbled version of John 14:6, where Jesus says "I am the way and the light." That can also mean that Floyd of Suicide Squad has a healthy sense of irony "“ who knows?

The Apparent BIG Flaw In Costume

There seems to be something really weird about this solo image! No, I'm not talking about those white hands "“ that's simply the consequence of photoshop effects "“ and I won't be that harsh to criticize that. However, you can't ignore the defect with the enhanced eye, can you? How can it be on the left eye when the comic books and other media have always presented that on the right eye?

You can say that he is left-handed shot in the movie, but why does his posture of holding the weapon suggest that he is a right-handed shot? Such a silly error can always spoil the exquisiteness of a first-look image. What do you think?
