Kugai:
Throw Diana, daughter of Hippolyte into the mix, and I think you're right.
Method of Madness:
She showed up for like half a second, I wish we could see more.

In canon, it's a response to the Justice League. Which makes sense. I don't really know why they're doing this movie before any actual Justice League movies, because I feel like responding just to Superman, and to an extent Batman, feels premature.
Also in regards to powers, there are a lot of people in this universe that don't have powers.
Neko_Ali:
I guess I wasn't clear enough. Why now, when there are almost no known super powered individuals, is she recruiting a team of mostly crazy but talented normals to do black ops instead of you know.. Turning to the government's black ops teams. She doesn't have the reasoning that they are needed to deal with super powered threats or political enemies that they can't touch with normal troops. It can't be to stop Superman. None of the Suicide Squad could even touch him. Batman? Maybe. But why recruit his rogue's gallery, when he probably put them in jail in the first place. There just isn't a reason given yet why they would need the Suicide Squad, or even why someone would think up the idea. The only thing I can think of is they plan to send them on literal suicide missions, because they are 'expendable assets'. For anything else, the ordinary military could do what they can do, almost certainly better and with less risk involved.

Like I said, is supposed to be a response to The Justice League (which isn't formed yet in the movie universe), so her forming it is too premature. I don't know if you ever watched the animated series (it's on Netflix and is one of the best DC animated series imo), but why she's doing it is because she doesn't trust all of these god-like superheroes taking things in their own hands with no one overseeing them. Her reason for villains is stated in the trailer: they have a scapegoat if need be, they won't have an issue with more questionable missions, and if they die... Who will care? The benefit to the villains is reduced sentences for jail time.
Doing the movie now I'm assuming is just to attract more viewers? Canonically it doesn't make sense to do it before a Justice League movie. I think they're trying to complete with all of the big cast Marvel movies planned.
