A standalone deadshot movie could have worked. Could have ended the film with the same scene from Suicide Squad and then a midcredits of the prison.

Same for Joker/Harley. The duo looks like it could be a real hit, but instead they decided to force the Joker into this movie. Could have set it up with and ending and credits scene.

DC could have contrasted so well against the MCU. Instead of building up through hero action movies with comedy, they could have prepared the Suicide Squad in a darker/ more serious setting. Instead DC looks to be throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Hope they learn from this, because I for one believe that the characters of the DC universe are overall more interesting than Marvel characters.

This would be an interesting formula. Instead of stand alone hero movies that lead to the hero team up, it's stand alone villain movies that lead to their stand up. I think you can only do that with Will Smith as Deadshot and Harley/Joker, no one else. The Harley/Joker movie would have to be Batman, though. Maybe explains the dead Robin we saw in BvS. 

I haven't seen it yet, but do they explain how these criminals got into prison? This universe is interesting in that they showed us Superman's origins and then placed him into a world in which Batman has been fighting crime for nearly two decades. There are other heroes, but they won't be revealed to the world until Justice League, meaning this is a world with few public heroes.
