Ayer reacted to a critic’s tweet slamming his Suicide Squad,
he wrote that the ‘studio cut’ was not his movie. He said, “I put my life into
Suicide Squad. I made something amazing – My cut is an intricate and emotional
journey with some ‘bad people’ who are s**t on and discarded (a theme that
resonates in my soul).”

He further added, “The studio cut is not my movie. Read that
again. And my cut is not the 10-week director’s cut – It’s a fully mature edit
by Lee Smith standing on the incredible work by John Gilroy. It’s all Steven
Price’s brilliant score, with not a single radio song in the whole thing.”

He continued, “It has traditional character arcs, amazing
performances, a solid 3rd Act resolution. A handful of people have seen it. If
someone says they have seen it, they haven’t.
