Marjane Satrapi
You may remember Marjane Satrapi from her best-selling comic Persepolis, and the film of the same name, but you should also know her for her dark comedy film, The Voices. Satrapi obviously has experience with comic books, so she naturally understands the style and tone, but also brings to the table a wealth of humor. Suicide Squads demise came because the film was marketed as a dark comedy, but delivered hardly any jokes. Not only does Satrapi know about writing irreverent humor, but she has a lot of experience with dark humor and bringing it to life. If she channels even half of The Voices tone into the Suicide Squad sequel, the film would already be leagues better.
