David Ayer is the man behind Fury, Bright, Suicide Squad & more. Before the release of Justice League, his Gotham City Sirens script was rejected by Warner Bros. Since Justice League kinda bombed, we can be certain that Gotham City Sirens will never be made.

David Ayer is NOT a big name in Hollywood and by no means does WB has to stick to his vision. He was making a darker and edgier movie called ‘Suicide Squad’ but on March of 2016, critics & audience trashed DC’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice calling it “Dark and a humorless movie” . Because of BvS, David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was heavily changed. Re shoots were done to add more humor. So while Ayer pursued his original vision, Warners set about working on a different cut, with an assist from Trailer Park, the company that had made the teaser trailer.

When a fan asked him how hard it was to write Suicide Squad in 3 weeks, he said:

Spent a heck of a lot more time on it than that. There’s an outlining process. I wrote the first draft. There were several major rewrites after that. Plus continually rewritten pages as we designed the movie. Not to mention adding humor, lines during shooting. It’s endless.

And now, Gotham City Sirens won’t happen because of Justice League and that is why he is openly talking on the behind the scenes of Suicide Squad. Here is what he had to say on the deleted scene starring Joker:

After Joker dropped HQ from the help and crashed, Enchantress made a deal with him. He was going to take Harley home and be “King of Gotham” Harley stood up to him and refused to betray her new friends. The Squad turned on him and he escaped.

A fan, Andy Warth took screenshots of a person’s reaction after seeing Sucide Squad in the test screenings (Ayer’s Darker version ) and the theatrical cut:

Sad.

The more WB course-correct their DC universe, the worse it gets.
