Suicide Squad Director Blames DC's Geoff Johns for Ruining Plans

When Suicide Squad came out it was very clear from day one that it was not the film WB originally set out to make and certainly not the one Director David Ayer set out to make, fast forward a few years and David Ayer has become very vocal about the changes WB & Executives made to his films and the latest places Blame on Geoff Johns aka DC’s President and Chief Creative Officer at DC Entertainment at the time.

Ayer previously revealed that the reasoning behind Leto's Joker having a massive grill holding his teeth in place came after he had murdered Robin (Jason Todd) in the DCEU, while also explaining the controversial "Damaged" tattoo on his forehead. As Ayer previously said: "This is sort of my personal thing and maybe less about a larger connection. But Joker killed Robin and Batman basically smashes his teeth out and locks him up in Arkham Asylum. It's in the asylum where Joker would have done the 'damaged' tattoo as a message to Batman saying, 'You've damaged me. I was so beautiful before and now you've destroyed my face.' That's where the grill comes from."

Also present in the movie, when introducing Harley Quinn, comes a title card that says she was an "Accomplice to the murder of Robin." But if The Joker had killed Robin and gotten his teeth held in by a grill before he even met Dr. Harleen Quinzel, how is that possible? One fan on Twitter mused that this title card was added in by someone that didn't know what Ayer's story intentions where, something the director confirmed, adding: "Yes. That broke my timeline. Johns added it." The "Johns" Ayer is referring to is seemingly Geoff Johns who served as President and Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment at the time. SOURCE
