Suicide Squad director David Ayer explains why he’s making Gotham City Sirens instead of Suicide Squad 2.
Still, its global take was clearly enough for Warner Bros. to greenlight not only a sequel but a Gotham City Sirens spin-off as well.
For those that don’t know, Gotham City Sirens was a short-lived comic book series, created by Batman legend Paul Dini, that focused on three of Gotham’s most notorious female criminals: Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy.
Suicide Squad grossed over $745 million at the worldwide box office (without releasing in China, the world’s second-largest movie-going market), against an estimated production budget of $175 million.
