Viola Davis was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and she discussed playing Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad.
Davis explained that things were dangerous on set, and held up her pinkie finger to show an injury she sustained. Davis also said that Amanda Waller is a badass and would make Superman "quake in his tights". Check out the full video interview above for more.

Maybe it's US only? It's working for me.
It is. I only found out when I tried to access it via the Yahoo website. On Batman-News it says this "Sorry! The content provider has not given us the rights to play this video outside of Yahoo!"
Lame! Sorry about that. I have no idea why they block certain countries.
No need to apologise :)
In Canada there is a network who has the right to broadcast that clip to me, as a Canadian.

Me too... unfortunately!
I'm in the US and it aint working for me either...
Isn't Viola Davis the girl from the series How to get away with Murder?
Yup...really good actress
Absolutely, she'll be a good Amanda Waller.
Such slow news from the DCCU. Its boring really
So, go do something else.

Right! Unless she has a gun to Lois head lol
Faster than a speeding bullet
As soon as he said he was more of a "Marvel fan", I knew the interview would suck and sure enough he asked a bunch of dumb questions.
"Marvel fan" - Saw The Avengers this one time three years ago.
Marvel fan ok...whats a nightcrawler
*grabs popcorn*
I watched that movie my self recently, it was a good movie!
Yes, the 1st Avengers movie was way better than the 2nd one.
Yeh...God forbid he asks funny questions to entertain people and to make the quest (Viola Davis) and the audience laugh...he's right down with Brian Williams in the bench of disgraced professional journalists...
not working for me :( us only. btw Vixen footage will be at comic-con after the supergirl pilot on July 8th. for the lucky few that are going, let us know what its like.
Now working for me either. Sucks.
Despite the amazing competition I honestly feel like Waller might be my favourite character in this movie. Compiling her quotes:
"...in this world of superheroes, not a woman you would expect. A walking contradiction. A strong black woman unafraid of them...can't wait to pick up a gun (she's definitely got some action)...unapologetic and badass..." and now she'd "make Superman quake in his tights?" THAT is Waller.
THAT is Waller
But THIS IS SPARTA
No, this is Patrick!
I highly doubt Viola Davis would beat Jared Leto's, Will Smith's or Margot Robbie's performances
Anybody got a working link?
Already know who Waller is afraid of. Begins with a B.
B....Bruce Wayne? Nah, guy's just a playboy.
If Batman didn't make Superman flinch Waller wouldn't be able to do anything to Superman
I'd imagine she'll ask Superman to see if her cut is infected
I hope Superman makes a brief cameo in Suicide Squad
Probably 😔 I'll take Superman Easter Eggs and references instead
where is the world wide video? :(
We wanna know how she got those scars
Lol
Right after the movie was announced, she was the first actress I thought of for this role. Absolutely perfect!
SMH that people even considered Oprah...
To be fair, Oprah would have been a good choice too.
Yeah, this video is definitely only available in the US. If you want to know what she said, there's a summary here: http://dccomicsmovie.com/vi... .
"If I tell you, I'll have to kill you and I don't know How to Get Away With Murder"
A LOT OF LOYALTY FOR A HIRED ACTOR!
At least you can talk. Who are you?
It doesn't matter. What matters is our plans. No one cared who she was until she was cast as Amanda Waller.
She's pretty big.
For you.
Was getting leaked set photos part of your plan?
Of course!
And what's the next step of your master plan?
Crashing the box office WITH NO SURVIORS
Set leakers are stabbed in the back by Zack Snyder.
Snyder (to David Ayer):Goodbye my friend.
Snyder leaves the set leakers with Ayer.
Ayer: We both know I have to kill you now. (Kicks). You'll just have to imagine the movie
... what the hell? 😝
Just a warning

As long as you keep the bad commenters rich with upvotes and good commenters annoyed, no one will touch Guest.
I'm not one of your good people Rachel. All these years I wanted to ban him
Moderator: What would you have us do El?
Me: Look to other websites like our ancestors did!
Moderator: Are you seriously suggesting we evacuate the entire website?
Me: No everybody here is already dead. Give me control of the comments. I will ensure the survival of Batman-News
(Moderators are taken down by General Marvel troll and her insurgents).
General MT: This council has been disbanded.
Moderator #2: On who's authority?
General MT: Mine (kills Moderator #2). The rest of you will be tried accordingly.
Me: What are you doing? This is madness!
General MT: What I should have done years ago. These moderators with their endless debates have led BatmanNews to ruins.
Me: I can't let you do this. General: Join me. I can save BatmanNews.
Me: How?
General MT: The bloodline of some awesome BatmanNews commenters will be the new moderators.
Me: And who will decide which bloodlines will be moderators? You?
General MT: Don't do this Trolls. The last thing I want is for us to be enemies.
Me: You've abandoned the principals that brought us together. I will honor the parodist you once were not this monster you've become.
General MT: Take him away.
(Insurgents walk me to Atomic Man, my robot butler.)
Atomic: Is everything ok?
Insurgent: Out of the way. (I nod). I said out of the -
(I beat the shit out of the insurgents)
Me: Get me Felicia.
(Atomic face times with Felicia). Felicia, prepare the launch. I'll be with you as soon as I can.
(Cut to me riding on a dragon to the Commentex).
Atomic: It's illogical to go there. It's a felony.
Me: Nobody cares anymore Atomic. The website is about to end. (Gets the Commentex).
Insurgent: Troll, by the authority of Marvel troll you are under arrest. Surrender now.
(I fly my dragon to Felicia).
Me: Prepare the launch.
(Forgive me but I'm not parodying the entire scene).
Felicia: He'll be an outcast. They'll ban him.
Me: How? He'll be a badass among them.
(General MT raids my house).
MT: Concentrate fire on the living room!
MT reaches the launch room.
MT: I know you stole the Commentex Trolls. Surrender it.
Me: How about no?
MT: What have you done?
Me: I've made a new account on the forum. An Aquaman account. And I will be free.
MT: Hersey! Ban him!
(I shoot the 2 moderators but lose to MT).
MT: No! Listen to me! The Commentex is BatmanNews's future! Abort the log-in!
Felicia logs in.
MT: NOOO! (Kills me). Where have you sent the other account?
Felicia: His name is Aquaman and he is beyond your reach.
Scene ends
So then Marvel troll made the forum which I joined as I tried to avoid BatmanNew's destruction. The irony is sadly hilarious.
(Batfleck voice) I will
You use Superman against me? YOU DARE? YOU DARE(devil)!

I so want to join the forum but unfortunately its not working for me:(
How?
I don't know, it doesn't allow me in after I insert my username. It doesn't even let me register. It's sad.
Batmobile Editions of Arkham Knight have been canceled globally by WB. Seriously. 6 days before launch. More than pissed.
If I couldn't afford it then no one will https://38.media.tumblr.com...
I dunno, I don't doubt Davis will be excellent, but I've still got CCH Pounder as Waller going through my head. After obviously SOA and the animated Batman: Suicide Squad, her tone of voice, dictation and performances with the Samcro, so so solid, just would have been perfection for me.
But its all good ... A stunning cast still running around out there 😁
It's Arkham assault, not Batman: suicide squad.
It's Batman: Assualt on Arkham
I was close.
It's cool
I know, its a generalisation I refer it to, as I've a funny feeling the anime is gonna get translated on screen ... Minus KGBeasts head pop incident lol.
KGBeast is replaced with Slipnot
Hey Chris how long has this site been up? ( just wondering)
Before the Dark Times, before the Empire
I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see in to Superhero News until I was merely a man and by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING
Don't talk like you're one of them. You're not. Even if you want to me. You've changed things forever. See they upvote you now but when they don't, they'll cast you out. To them, you're just a guy with too much free time. Like me! See I'm not a failed parodist, I'm just ahead of the curve
I can do those things because I'm not a parodist.
Moderators: No no you can't. You're awesome
I'm whatever Batman-News needs me to be.
Chris Begley: We'll flag you.
You'll flag me. Send the hackers on me. Because that's what needs to happen.
Moderator: Ok we're going in!
(Runs)
Moderator #2: Trolls! Why are we chasing him?
Chris: Because we have to son.
Moderator #2: He didn't do anything wrong.
Chris: We'll ban him. Because he can take it. Because he's the commenter BatmanNews deserves but not the one it needs right now, a watchful badass, a Troll parodist!
Flash: Do you have any idea how corny that sounds?
Dill Pickle. Now I get it
If you make yourself more than just a commenter, if you devote yourself to an ideal and if the trolls can't stop you then you become something else entirely.
Which is?
A badass, Mr. Troll.
Ra's and I are on a first name bases. He added the mr to abbreviate my real name (MR)
It's not who I am underneath but I what do that defines me. (In other words no Mark Ruffalo)
But is Ra's al Troll not immortal? Are his comments not supernatural?
It's really about someone from anywhere responding to your opinion.
Rises was in 2012 right? But I am asking for an actual date from the head hancho himself
2010 or 2011 been here since the begining (as a reader)
I also was a reader long before I started to post anything,

Also has anyone just taken gifs of Viola from "How to get away with murder" and put Amanda Waller quotes on them because it'd be perfect.
The second gif gave me nightmares
Like I said on many occasions. And im sure many occasions to come. I can't wait for this movie!!!!!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Off topic. Does anyone have a ps4? We can exchange psn's
I preordered one. Will get in a day or so. Just in time for Arkham Knight 😎
I do, mine is Xgabo14X, though I haven't been able to play as I used to because I've been a little busy. But I play now and then. Maybe I'll be buying Arkham Knight next month.
Ok cool just sent a friend request and I'm def. getting arkham knight maybe a lil early.
psn= chu-lyk-it
add me: arkham_knight42
I'm curious...is anyone planning on "going dark" before BvS comes out? Meaning you will avoid spoiler-esque articles or TV spots, etc. to prevent knowing what could happen in the film? If so, how far in advance?
I will when tons of tv spots and reviews come out
I will try, but I know I will fail.
No because I doubt anything major will leak since it hasn't already and the movie been finished.
Hell nah!
I'm watching every trailer and tv spot. I can't help myself
I'll watch the 1st official trailer and the 1st Tv spot, that's it!
Il watch what comic-con footage they show then a 1st official trailer..then thats it. anything else il catch up with in February. Thats when il be gone from here and disconnecting my internet :D
Hey you guys was there a deadline for preordering batman arkham knight?
Not that I know of.
I never would've thought I would interact with hardcore batman fans like I am. But the internet was/is a major game changer. I'm 28 and I've been a fanatic of batman since Tim burtons movie( even loved his sequel, unlike most). Technology is so amazing.
I'm the same age and Batman Returns changed my life forever ;) I honestly feel exactly the same sir!
Happy to hear that
Lol I remember having 1989 on VHS. Those were the days
I'm surprised you remember all of that at those ages.
Off topic again(sorry). Does anyone remember the phantom with billy Zane?
Never had the chance to dress as batman, being that I'm 6'6 and a African American, being dressed as batman wouldn't fit.
I never imagined either! I have always been a huge Batman fan. The Animated Series was a huge inspiration for me, and I had a model version of the Joker from TDKR. I would draw comics with Batman fighting the Joker, and the Joker in his white suit gunning down innocents hahaha no holds barred. But I lost my love of comics until Chris Nolan revived Batman, and then I realized why I had been inspired all those years earlier. Really, Christopher Nolan pulled me back into the amazing world of DC. Always loved DC. Never Marvel, besides Daredevil. Just never knew that at 20 I would be just as inspired by those amazing BTAS images and stories as I was years ago. And of course I am more thrilled than I can express for the DCCU! Finding Batman-News in light of the first image of Batfleck was one of the best things to ever happen, as well as becoming a commenter and joining the amazing community here. I'm immensely thankful.
Yeah I also remember having the action figures including, animated batman, batmobile(which transformed into something, don't remember what) and various other figures.
Ha you think people don't enjoy Batman Returns!?!?! Good one!!
You should join the form:http://batmannews.boards.net
unrelated but i hope the Flash TV SERIES covers as much deep and obscure lore as it can....then the movie will come out in 2018 shitting on everything the show worked hard towards.....ratings will plummet and the show will probably be cancelled a few months or up to a year after that thanks to erza millers interpretation.......note flash is my all time favorite superhero but im a realist till the end
I love The Flash character too but this first Flash season was sometimes good but sometimes really bad and don't respect som
Also I don't know how they will make for make the flash a useful character when you see the speed that the krytonians have.That will be a big challenge for Mister Snyder and Lord/Miller.Making the flash not a useless character but useful and better portreyed than the tv show and give to us a Real Barry Allen.
It's funny, ive seen this movie literally a 100 times and this is the first time I can actually see her punches connect lol (In Zack Snyder we trust)
What you have said is almost poetic, i like that. ;) ;)
well, there aren't kryptonians anymore except Kal-El but he is not fast at all, because he has some emotional restrictions, only kryptonians with their costumes were fast
But you're wrong there's still Kal-El's niece Kara:
Cousin, not niece.
Sorry, what's the difference between Cousin and Niece?
cousin is your aunts/uncles children and a niece is your brother or sisters daughter.
OK thanks.
Your niece would be your brother/sister's daughter (a son is a nephew). A cousin is the son/daughter of your uncle/aunt. Kara is the daughter of Superman's uncle.
I know but in the Dutch language we just use one word and that is Neef for Nephew/Cousin and Nicht for Niece/Cousin.
That's not the case in English.
Yeah i know, many languages use multiple words but the Dutch language only uses one word for the male and female part.
Well, my first language is portuguese and, like in english, we use different words for each.
don't think they will include her in this DC universe
You never know that cause Zack may include her in the Justice League movies.
that would be stupid, cause they have already shown Krypton flashbacks, and Kal-El's family
I don't think it's stupid cause if Darkseid is the main villain in JL 2 then it's quite likely for Supergirl to appear.
darkseid is a cunt just like kara
What????? Kara is not, you must have bumped your head.
(Raspy voice) Then you're going to love me
I doubt it will get cancelled and the movie will most definitely not "shit" on the show. One of the screenwriters addressed that issue about a month ago. The movie will probably attract more viewers. I don't see how one movie (which I'm sure will be awesome, Ezra Miller is a better actor than the entire cast of The Flash and the movie has better resources) will plummet the show. Fans will watch it and then go back to the show. Personally I hope it gets 6 seasons or maybe 5 but 6 as the maximum
That's a good idea but I will greatly miss those island scenes
I hope they reduce the flash back scenes in the next Arrow season cause that was a bit over the top.
CW likes milking the shit out of their shows. Smallville kept going despite Superman Returns coming and going
Lol I can see that happening. But the t.v. Series is pretty good besides the drama parts
From one huge fan of the Flash to another isn't that, (pardon the usage of the word) a foolish mentality? Why wouldn't you be content with two amazing (assuming Ezra will be amazing) iterations of the same character?
The movie's not going to crash the show, if anything it will up its ratings. The show and the movies are separate, they can't 'shit on' each other anymore than Batman and Robin couldn't spoil the Batman comics of the time.
THE WALL
Amanda Waller is the 'unknown threat' to mankind in BvS confirmed.
Well this is definitely from Frank Miller's story TDKR. The showdown and the suit Bats is wearing.
This showdown was also in the last episode of The Flash TV-series from the 1st season.
Yep, you like those series?
I still have a bit of a hard time with the acting of the cast, they're not the best actors including the Flash but the story is great.
True, but it doesn't count for every actor in those series, some are better and some are less in acting but i'm still following the series.
The problem I have with the Flash series is that the character doesn't feel like Barry Allen.. It's a good watch but that's all it is..
Which is why they're using New 52 Wally West who sucks
They really screwed up Wally in the new 52.. (That's literally the biggest problem I have with the current Flash series.. )
The actor who plays Cisco is one the worst actors from those series, he doesn't give you a feel that he's Cisco if you catch my drift.
He's not so bad when you tone down his humor a bit.. The main actor (Grant Gustin i think) bothers me the most.. Tom Cavanagh is the best..
Is Grant Gustin playing The Flash?
Yep.
I think when he is only Barry Allen then imo he acts a little flat, the same goes for the Cisco actor.
Calling it now, Reverse Flash's vibrating voice and deep vibrating voice worked so well they will continue that in adaptions.
I'm pretty sure everyone knew Father
That means they'd have to establish the Multiverse becuse she's not from Earth Prime (Earth Zero)
Depends on the Storyline
You mean my Earth Two Sister?? Mmhh?
