They've frequently, but not in every case, hired people who don't understand the characters. Ayer approached Suicide Squad with a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of Task Force X, and Suicide Squad's problems spiraled from there. James Gunn understands comics. I'd be surprised if he tried to turn a bunch of villains into heroes or have them save the world or make Killer Croc into a ridiculous black stereotype. He also gets dark humor (for movies, at least) better than most filmmakers out there, so while I expect jokes, I'm not terribly concerned about the tone. Walter Hamada also doesn't seem like the type to try to meddle with his filmmakers, so this could be great.

James Gunn is definitely a good get for WB. Now that theyve at least established their cinematic universe (by slamming it together), they can start developing it and creating a more streamlined direction.
If they land James Gunn, and keep Margot Robbie, Ill have little to really complain about this one, methinks.
