David Ayer’s GOTHAM CITY SIRENS Could Possibly Include the Villain Black Mask
A few months ago we learned that Suicide Squad director David Ayer was taking on Gotham City Sirens with Margot Robbie returning to the role of Harley Quinn. We’ve known the film will also include the DC Femme Fatales Poison Ivy and Catwoman. Now it looks like we know who the villain might be.
From out of nowhere, Ayer posted a piece of comic art on Twitter featuring the character Black Mask. No text was included with the image, but it came from the comic Batman: Under the Red Hood.

Ayer could just be in the midst of doing some research and found a cool image to post. Or maybe it’s a character he actually plans on using for Gotham City Sirens. It definitely seems like a character that fits Ayer’s style.
Black Mask is a ruthless Gotham mob boss and leader of the False Face Society known for his extreme hatred for Bruce Wayne. He also has a sadistic talent for torturing his victims into insanity. Torturing people is considered his defining skill, “as he both physically and mentally tortures them to a degree few could match.”
His fighting skills are also at the same level as characters such as Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood, Catwoman, and even Batman. Then there’s the fact that he’s a master of disguise.
I could totally see Ayer wanting to play with this villain in Gotham City Sirens. I hope he plans on using him because he would make an awesome addition to the whatever story he’s in the process of building.
