There has been a firestorm of new coverage since the forthcoming DC Cinematic Universe film Suicide Squad has Common As The Tattooed Man In ‘Suicide Squad’.

Some media outlets claim for some odd reason that he’s the Black Manta, but that is totally wrong. His character is obviously The Tattooed Man aka Abel Tarrant.

There has been no confirmation as of yet, but CelebNMusic247.com got word that Common has joined Suicide Squad alongside Will Smith in the upcoming DC Cinematic Universe film. According to the RUMORS Common’s character is undisclosed.

Although we have this report for the super villains movie:

Suicide Squad will mark the third release from DC Cinematic Universe as it departs from the typical style of comic book movies and focuses on a band of super villains as apposed to super heroes.

The plot of the film, which is due in theaters August 5, 2016, surrounds a group of notorious inmates who have been recruited by a government agency to take on covert missions that should ultimately lead to their deaths.

Will Smith plays the role of Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot, a highly skilled mercenary who is a well-known enemy to Batman.

Between takes, Common posted this photo of himself in his trailer on set:

Common’s role has been kept under wraps to the public, but pictures have recently surfaced via Twitter showing him on set in Toronto. It’s been RUMORED that Common’s character is the Tattoo Man since his ink matches that of the comic strip.

On set photo of Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr., best known as the rapper Common was spotted wearing a leather wardrobe, tattoos and piercings as his attire.

According to JustJared, the rapper’s ensemble is similar to that of the Green Latern villain Abel Tarrant aka The Tattooed Man, though Common’s official role has not been confirmed.

Who is the Abel Tarrant, who inked himself with chemicals and calling himself the Tattooed Man?

Abel Tarrant was a sailor based in Coast City who turned to burglary. During one of his heists, he was exposed to mysterious chemicals which left him with the mental ability to create actual objects from them. When he got back from the robbery, he tattooed himself using the chemicals so he would always have them near him. Some of the things his tattoos could conjure included axes, shields, cannons, and even a dragon.

The Tattooed Man originally had the upper hand against the Green Lantern because the tattoo chemicals’ base was yellow (though the tattoos themselves were usually shown as purple). The Emerald Gladiator eventually beat the Tattooed Man by making him concentrate on more than one of his tattoos.
