Savant (real name Brian Durlin) was a quiet, bitter, and experienced weapons expert and criminal. He was a member of the first Suicide Squad team sent to Corto Maltese to destroy Project Starfish.

Brian Durlin was born around 1960, and at some point, became a weapons expert and master of hand-to-hand combat with incredible hand-eye coordination. He turned to crime, sustaining some severe injuries over the course of his life, including deep scars across his face. Durlin's experience hardened him into a cold, heartless killer, and he was eventually caught and incarcerated in the Belle Reve Correctional Center for a lengthy prison sentence. There, he was offered a place on the black-ops team Task Force X, better known as the Suicide Squad, by Amanda Waller, in exchange for time off his sentence. He accepted, and a nanite explosive was inserted into his skull, which would be detonated if he disobeyed any orders.

In 2021, Savant was assigned to the first Squad sent to the Latin American island of Corto Maltese to destroy the mysterious and dangerous Project Starfish. His team was lead by Colonel Rick Flag, and was comprised of Harley Quinn, Weasel, Captain Boomerang, Blackguard, Mongal, Javelin, and T.D.K. Unbeknownst to Savant and the team, however, they were merely a distraction for the Maltese Army so Waller's second Squad, headed up by the assassin Bloodsport, could complete the mission unhindered.

The Squad was flown in a helicopter to Corto Maltese and dropped into the sea when they were close enough to swim over to a beach. However, Weasel was unable to swim, forcing Savant to rescue him and swim him to shore. He assumed Weasel had drowned and declared him dead, but actually saved his life, making Weasel one of the only survivors of the following massacre.

When the rest of the Squad arrived on the shore, they were ambushed by the Maltese Army, who they had been sold out to by Blackguard. Savant took cover as most of the Squad members went to attack the soldiers, but they were vastly outnumbered. Within a few short minutes, every member of the Squad, save Harley, Flag, and Savant had been horribly slaughtered in a bloody massacre. Seeing all this carnage terrified the usually stoic Savant, and he attempted to run from the island, but Waller took note of the violation of his agreement and activated his brain bomb, making his head explode. His corpse was later partially devoured by a canary.[1]

The Suicide Squad is a 2021 superhero comedy film based on the DC Comics team of the same name. Co-produced by DC Films, Atlas Entertainment, and the The Safran Company and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film is a sequel to Suicide Squad. It is the tenth installment in the DC Extended Universe. The film was released on August 5, 2021 in theaters and on Max.

The film is directed by James Gunn and stars Margot Robbie as Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn, Idris Elba as Robert DuBois/Bloodsport, John Cena as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker, Joel Kinnaman as Colonel Rick Flag, Sylvester Stallone as the voice of Nanaue/King Shark, Viola Davis as Director Amanda Waller, David Dastmalchian as Abner Krill/Polka-Dot Man, Daniela Melchior as Cleo Cazo/Ratcatcher 2, Jai Courtney as George "Digger" Harkness/Captain Boomerang, Peter Capaldi as Dr. Gaius Grieves/Thinker, Michael Rooker as Brian Durlin/Savant, Alice Braga as Sol Soria, and Pete Davidson as Richard Hertz/Blackguard.

The film is humorously split into ten chapters that appear blended into the characters' surroundings in different ways: "3 Days Earlier", "Now", "Meanwhile, Harley", "Bring Me the Heads of the Suicide Squad", "Operation: Jotunheim", "Operation: Harley", "Jotunheim", "Dirty Little Secrets", "8 Minutes Earlier", and "Suicide Squad vs. Starro the Conqueror".

I met Mr. Rooker at a comic con once. I was young and was afraid to talk to him as I had recently seen the first guardians movie, but he was very kind to me and my siblings, talked with us about the movie, asked about our outfits. He also told us that there was going to be another movie, only a couple days before the announcement.

I’ll forever remember him from Mallrats. Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?

Every time it’s raining and I open an umbrella, I say “I’m Mary Poppins y’all!” And it’s all thanks to him. Love this guy.

So sad we'll never get to see him as Yondu again, legit one of the best send offs to a character in the entire MCU

He was so good in many films. Days of Thunder was a favorite performance, but he has been in other classics like Tombstone. And he's in Horizon.
