Happy Tuesday everybody! In my opinion this is a very lackluster week of releases, so, I’ve picked a movie I left off last week for this week. Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, a kick ass DC animated movie.

DC live action movies aren’t doing so hot right now, at least critically but most can agree that the animated movies are great and lately they’ve been straight killing it. Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay is what the Suicide Squad movie should’ve been, it’s an absolute thrill ride it’s fun, funny and action packed. The characters are way more fleshed out and developed, they all serve a purpose and one isn’t to blow up. Some lesser known characters like Bronze Tiger get the spotlight and there’s tons of fun cameos. And the best part of all this movie is a hard R. The DCEU could learn something from the DCAU.
