The Suicide Squad finally made its debut in theaters and on HBO Max this past weekend, showcasing the breadth of the DC Comics universe in a way previously unseen on the big screen. The film showcases a wide array of characters — and a new piece of art from DC Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee pays tribute to that in an epic way. The art, which you can check out below, combines just a few members of the film’s ensemble — T.D.K. (Nathan Fillion), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian), King Shark (Sylvester Stallone), and Starro. In the thread, Lee praised the “creativity, thoughtfulness, reverence and affection” brought to the film’s characters by writer-director James Gunn.
Part of the fun of watching the fans’ reaction to @SuicideSquadWB has been seeing all the art inspired by the film! (out NOW in theaters and on @HBOmax!) In that spirit—I sketched up this image of some of my favorites from this film’s cast…1/7 pic.twitter.com/nbSSIJVTVV
