Will Smith’s Deadshot
Apparently, all those who said that Will Smith’s Deadshot will be a Will Smith type of character should now eat their words. According to IGN, the assassin is the most complete character in the entire squad. And that is even if he is a bit cheesy, with his entire story arc veered towards making him a good guy just because he loves his daughter.
Birth. Movies. Death. describes him as being the moral center of the story, with Will Smith selling even the hardest to sell scenes – particularly a scene in which Deadshot and Rick Flag come to respect each other.
Furthermore, the same website seems to have already found the best scene in the entire DCEU. The moment when Deadshot is apprehended by Batman is filled with energy, both Smith and Affleck receiving much praise for this.
Of course, having the same character introduced three times (in the beginning, when he is revealed to be an assassin, and when he is tested by Rick Flag) is a big no-no. However, this is in no way Will Smith’s fault.
