Another ‘Suicide Squad’ Photo Shows Will Smith’s Deadshot In Battle Mode
Dominic Patten, DEADLINE
(Deadline.com) — Well, David Ayer didn’t wait long to give the world another look at the upcoming Suicide Squad today. After posting an almost full cast in costume pic earlier Sunday, the director of the Warner Bros supervillians movie has now put up a solo shot of Will Smith as Deadshot – and yes, that is Will under that mask mirroring the one the antihero assassin wears in comicland.
Less than a month after director David Ayer tweeted out a photo of the cast of the Warner Bros supervillians flick at their first script read-through, the End of Watch helmer had more to share today. Though Jared Leto’s Joker wasn’t with the gang, the rest of the Suicide Squad cast appeared in full costume Sunday in a pic Ayer put up on social media.

A’s Last Game in Oakland Ends Baseball Team’s 57-Year Tenure Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s Efforts to Save Team Blocked by GOP-Controlled House
After 57 years, the Athletics have left Oakland following a home series this week. Though Congresswoman Barbara Lee introduced legislation to keep the team in Oakland, she could not get the backing she needed from other legislators in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

After 57 years, the Athletics have left Oakland following a home series this week.
Though Congresswoman Barbara Lee introduced legislation to keep the team in Oakland, she could not get the backing she needed from other legislators in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Lee tried 15 months ago, the day before Nevada politicians approved $380 million in public funds to build a Las Vegas ballpark. Lee proposed a bill that would have stopped the A’s move by requiring a hefty exit fee that would have made them reconsider a move.
“That’s only fair,” Lee said in an interview in the Los Times by sportswriter Bill Shaikin. “That’s the only fair way to do it,” she said. “You’ve got to compensate the community, because the community has invested a heck of a lot.”
However, Lee’s bill could not go forward without the backing it needed. First, it went to the House Judiciary Committee chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican. Jordan did not co-sponsor Lee’s bill or permit the committee hearing required for the bill to move forward.
“We put up a good fight. The city put up a good fight, the county, everyone,” said Lee.
“Unfortunately, we are losing a team that really, in the day, exemplified Black excellence in Oakland. It’s more than just the team leaving. It’s a part of Oakland’s history, and our culture,” she said.
