Captain America: Civil War is still in the top spot when it comes to Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and X-Men:Apocalypse, but next up is Suicide Squad. Not a bad word was uttered from fans lucky enough to catch a test screening, and now it’s looking like the soundtrack is just as killer as the squad. Suicide Squad: The Album releases Aug. 5, the same day as the movie. However, if you pre-order now, you’ll get some of these new songs as they release, starting with ‘Heathens’ from Twenty-One Pilots.
A few of the songs listed below will sound familiar, such as Eminem’s ‘Without Me’ and last year’s ‘You Don’t Own Me’ with Grace and G-Eazy, but most are brand new. Skrillex and Rick Ross team up for what’s sure to be a late summer banger, ‘Purple Lamborghini.’ There’s got to be room for one more on Lil Wayne’s ‘Sucker For Rain’ featuring Wiz Khalifa, Imagine Dragons, Logic, Ty Dolla $ign, and X Ambassadors. Where’s Gucci? We also get special drops from Kehlani, Action Bronson, Kevin Gates, Skylar Grey and Grimes.

Reactions from lucky fans on Twitter praised performances from Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), The Joker (Jared Leto) and Deadshot (Will Smith), and went so far to say it’s the best film they’ve ever seen. It’s only right we get a glimpse of Ben Affleck’s Bat and his presence will loom over the unorthodox strike team of incarcerated antiheroes. Batman has two scenes with Deadshot, and one with Harley Quinn and The Joker.
It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
