    Rumor: Scott Eastwood’s Character In SUICIDE SQUAD Revealed

    By

    Comic book fans everywhere are eager for the release of Suicide Squad, which promises all sorts of new characters and villains previously unseen on both film and this new DC Cinematic Universe.

    One role, however, that fans have been curious about is one played by Scott Eastwood – a role that’s been kept secret by the film’s producers. And many fans have speculated that it could be Dick Grayson or even Roy Harper. One of our writers here at ScreenGeek.net wrote a very interesting theory about how he could be The Unkown Soldier.

    Well, on the film’s Wikipedia page, it says that Scott Eastwood’s character is one called Nemesis.

    Nemesis, whose real name is Thomas Andrew Tresser, appeared in various Justice League: Unlimited episodes and several comic issues where it was discovered that he became Nemesis to clear his brother Craig’s name after his brother was brainwashed and forced to kill the rest of their family. Nemesis worked with Batman to solve the case.

    According to the DC Comics Wiki:

    Nemesis is a name used by several characters in the DC Universe, although it is primarily the alter-ego of Tom Tresser. Tresser is a former vigilante who uses his combat skills and mastery of disguise as a government agent. He has been a member of the Global Peace Agency, Jihad, Shadow Fighters and the Suicide Squad. Soseh Mykros would later also use the name, an assassin of The Council who joined the Justice Society. In the Wildstorm Universe there is a Coda-trained Kherubim assassin named Lady Charis who uses this alias as a member of the Wildcats. There is also a God of Olympus representing retribution named Nemesis. Nemesis was created by Cary Burkett and Dan Spiegle, first appearing in Brave and the Bold #166.

    Of course, this is only a Wikipedia article – but if it was false information, then why wouldn’t it have been removed by now? And why is it that DC chose to hide it for so long? After all, Nemesis isn’t that large of a character for DC, so it’s not like it’d make for that big of a reveal.

    Hopefully we’ll find the answers when Suicide Squad hits theaters on August 5, 2016.
