Once again the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) is caught up in controversy, this time with the release of Suicide Squad. So far critics have been very, well critical of the movie. Something fans aren't happy about, so much so that they have called for Rotten Tomatoes to be shut down. As a movie fan I find it a little extreme to want to quiet those who don't agree with you.

DC has released its first movie in 3 years, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is supposed to jump start the DCEU which began with Man of Steel.

Assuming Batman knows about the squad or Task Force X as it's also known, does its existence contribute to his bitterness? Especially considering the only reason these criminals - all of whom hold a grudge against Batman - were available for the task force is because Batman caught them.
