David Ayer, the director of Suicide Squad (2016), recently shared an image of Batman’s underwater breathing device from the film. This equipment, used for underwater missions, is a type of rebreather. The rebreather is a device that lets someone recycle their breath, taking out carbon dioxide and adding oxygen. It helps them breathe underwater for a long time and is often a part of Batman’s utility belt or Batsuit.
In the film, there is a scene where Harley Quinn (played by Margot Robbie) falls into the water, possibly as a result of a confrontation or an escape attempt. Batman (played by Ben Affleck) dives into the water to save her. He pulls Harley Quinn out of the water and onto a pier or platform, effectively rescuing her from drowning.
On Twitter/X, Ayer shared an image of Batman with his Underwater breathing device. Check out the post below.
Ayer also shared images of Harley Quinn’s baseball bat and Deadshot’s mask. See the images below.
Suicide Squad is part of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and serves as a standalone sequel to the 2013 film “Man of Steel.” The film follows a group of imprisoned supervillains who are recruited by a secret government agency known as ARGUS to undertake dangerous missions in exchange for reduced sentences. The team is assembled to tackle an ancient and powerful supernatural entity known as Enchantress, who threatens to destroy the world.
The film stars Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, and Adam Beach as Slipknot.
David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad” (2016) didn’t receive a sequel due to mixed reviews and differences between his vision and the final cut. The film’s creative direction and tone clashed with the studio’s preferences. As a result, a different approach was taken with “The Suicide Squad” (2021), directed by James Gunn.
David Ayer revealed that the final cut of the film didn’t match his original vision due to creative differences and studio interference during production. The studio wanted a lighter and more comedic tone, which clashed with Ayer’s darker, character-driven approach.
