This article argues that Bloodsport's suit from James Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad' is seriously underrated and that Gunn should consider incorporating elements from DCEU's successful costume designs into his future DC projects.
I miss plenty about the DCEU now that it has definitively ended, including one of the coolest suits ever adapted for DC movies. The supersuits of the DCEU were relatively contentious, but there is no denying that some fans are now lamenting the loss of the darker, more realistic outfits that both superheroes and supervillains alike opted to wear in DC's erstwhile cinematic franchise.
Looking back, I think the wardrobe was one area where the DCEU excelled, even when it took bold creative decisions with such supersuits as Superman's. To be clear, I am a huge fan of the vivid outfits depicted in the new Superman trailer, and I can't wait to see a trunk-wearing David Corenswet bring the comic book page to life. Nevertheless, after looking back at one of the DCEU's highest-rated movies, I think that James Gunn shouldn't shy away from picking the best bits from the now-defunct franchise he also contributed to. Thankfully, the exact costume I have in mind was one he was directly involved with - though I don't think it got the praise that it truly deserved. The Suicide Squad's Bloodsport Suit Is Seriously Underrated Bloodsport's Helmet Is The Coolest On The Team Close James Gunn's first contribution to DC's live-action movies was The Suicide Squad, a soft reboot of the widely lambasted Suicide Squad that helped to steady the ship. Although The Suicide Squad turned out to be a financial disappointment, it was at least widely acclaimed for many reasons, including its expertly cast host of titular vagabonds, well-balanced tone, and dazzling visual style. There is so much to like, in fact, that I don't think enough people talk about the character designs and Bloodsport's incredible wardrobe in particular

The DCU will introduce a new roster of characters, but many from James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, including John Cena's Peacemaker and Viola Davis' Amanda Waller, have survived the reboot. Will Smith had to leave the role due to scheduling conflicts, but now that The Suicide Squad fits within the DCU continuity, a return for Deadshot seems possible.
