Suicide Squad Movie

[Electric]

This may be a little early to get into, but with the recent confirmation of Jared Leto (Joker), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), will smith (dead shot), Tom hardy (Rick Flagg) and cara delevigne (enchantress) I'm extremely psyched for this movie. To me the suicide squads always been a neat idea, and the characters are always interesting, to say the least.

What are your thoughts?

[snake]

I'm disappointed about not having King Shark, but it seems pretty cool so far.

[pennydreadful]

Jared Leto always turns in a great performance so I'm really interested to see what he does with The Joker - I'm sure whatever he does will be terrific.

[Metroid]

I really enjoyed Jai Courtney in A Good Day to Die Hard. So him being in Suicide Squad sparks an interest for me.

Nonetheless, I am also very psyched for the movie, it is going to be a long, but well-rewarded wait for a movie with such potential.

[Slade]

Wish Deathstroke was in it.....

[Leo656]

Yeah that actually makes more sense than having Joker in it. They really don't need Joker at all, except to establish his existence in the movie DCU because they're using Harley. Having Joker but not having Deathstroke seems very odd.

[snake]

Fresh Prince as deadshot is the best casting choice ever.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

^ That's what surprised me most on the casting. It will be pretty interesting to see how that turns out. I hope he slips a Fresh Prince reference in there, somewhere.:D

[Electric]

My theory for why they chose to add joker is that he'll be an atagonist to the team, probably something like Assault on Arkham

[snake]

^ That's what surprised me most on the casting. It will be pretty interesting to see how that turns out. I hope he slips a Fresh Prince reference in there, somewhere.:D

"Now this is a story all about how I blew my targets brains right out."

Oprah is a good casting choice and you know it.


I can't take this movie seriously. I'm loving every tidbit of info that comes out.

[Slade]

Every time I watch CCH on sons, I couldn't remember who she played, so I just called her Waller.

[Leo656]

That would be as godawful and horrendous as that last Joker poster with the stupid emo flick hairdo.

Is Oprah actually confirmed for this? Please tell me Oprah F*cking Winfrey isn't actually playing Amanda Waller.

Just a rumor.

Oprah, Viola Davis (currently in How To Get Away With Murder) and Octavia Spencer (known for her role in The Help) are the current canidates to portray Amanda.

Of those 3 I'd go with Viola. She's a tough cookie. Octavia's a good actress but I think she's too young. Oprah is well...Oprah. :ohwell:

[Raph's Girl]

Viola Davis has reportadly been cast as Amanda. Course this news is coming from Latino Riview so it's iffy at best. But they're probably right so who knows. But hey at least it's not Oprah. :P

[Slade]

I saw it on facebook first, then looked up a couple pages. They all say kind of the same thing. That they're looking at an award nominated actor who hasn't won yet or somethig of that nature.

[JakeSully]

Might be the best DC film since TDK trilogy

[Electric]

so more rumors, specifically plot based

focuses on harley quinn, deadshot and joker

harley and deadshot both attack arkham on the same night, mess eacj other up, both get caught and transferred to bell reve

joker transfered as well, used to keep harley in line and supposedly, joker spends most of the movie in a cell

sent on mission to get enchantress, who luthor wants as well

not sure on accuracy but have read similar things on multiple sites.

Yeah, this guy really doesn't look like a Joker to me.

[TigerClaw]

Yeah, this guy really doesn't look like a Joker to me.
I don't think he has the full makeup on yet, They dont want to show that... yet.

[Slade]

I'm losing interest in this again. I do want to see Leto done up fully as Joker, but it's going to be too much Dark Knight Returns style, and I probably won't like that.

[TurtleTitan97]

Honestly don't know how to feel. It's not too bad, but it's not quite what I expected either.

[Turo602]

Man, this looks terrible. He doesn't even look like Joker, he looks like a hardcore fan of Joker.

[Raph's Girl]

Not that keen on the tats. Rather curious what happened to his teeth tho. Too many punches in the face by Batman?

[TigerClaw]

Man, this looks terrible. He doesn't even look like Joker, he looks like a hardcore fan of Joker.
He looks more like the Joker from All Star Batman and Robin, Which is why he has those tattoos.

http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120921201524/marvel_dc/images/7/7c/All-Star_Batman_and_Robin_8A.jpg

[Cure]

He looks awesome and scary.

[The Stryker]

Looks like a nut that's spent a ton of time in prison.

[BabyTurtles]

He definitely looks crazy XD which is a good thing.

[CyberCubed]

Man, this looks terrible. He doesn't even look like Joker, he looks like a hardcore fan of Joker.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. He looks like a Joker henchman or something.

He doesn't, honestly. He looks like he's from some rock band... Yeah yeah, Jared Leto actually does have a rock band but that doesn't make this cool or justify it in any way.

[PangolinFeets]

Jared Leto is a pretty phenomenal actor so I'm withholding judgement until I see his performance.

[Leo656]

Eh. We'll see.

[snake]

Eh. He looks alright.

[LeoRaph]

Looks like Bay has somehow infiltrated WB. More is More is More. Ledger's Joker would eat this Punk Wannabe Poser up for breakfast :tgrumble:

No no no no no oh god no.

If there taking inspiration from that comic this new DC movieverse is in trouble more so then I thought before. Why does everything have to be Frank Miller he's not even that good of a writer anyway.

[pennydreadful]

I'm absolutely loving this Joker design - the teeth, the tattoos, the missing eyebrows... he looks like a complete f*cking lunatic who you definitely wouldn't want to mess with. Leto always gives good performances so I'm confident that the movie will be worth seeing just for him alone. Sorry, but these guys have my money already. :D

[Slade]

I already don't know the actor so I can't say anything about him, but I f*cking hate that design for Joker. :x

[NinjaPug]

I hate the face tats but I can get on board with a different take on the Joker. It really is all about the performance though.

[CyberCubed]

Judging by the tattoo's, metal teeth and overall look....they're probably going to go with a punk rock or gangster-type Joker. He won't be the "Clown Prince of Crime" like the '89 movie or the cartoons, nor will he be the insane serious type in the Nolan movie.

[Candy Kappa]

As long as he can pull off some crazy and creepy facial expressions, this is fine. Not a big fan of the tattoos, it's a bit excessive with the HAHA written over his body.

If they are pulling Joker from Miller as well as Batman, I hope he's acting more like Dark Knight Returns Joker, and not ASB&R Joker.

[Commenter 42]

Looks like the kind of guy who wants lots of attention, because mommy was never there for him.

This Joker is a lame ass joke.
I despise this ****. **** Goyer, **** Ayer and **** Snyder in his greased but.

Is this a joke?

[Slade]

I was just about to ask that myself. I really hope it's just a joke and that's not what he is really going to look like.

Although I read that Joker is supposed to be in a prison cell for most of the movie. I guess I could get over the tattoo's if that's the case and could probably see past the grill. But, I wanted at least some kind of smile to him. Didn't care if they scarred him up again or if he fell in chemicals and it distorted his face. Hell he could have had plastic surgery in this one. Idc. Just something a little bit closer to classic Joker.

The tattoos are overkill and to me this character just screams try-hard.

We should all probably try to breathe, for a second. Freaking out about his "design" might be a bit premature, when we haven't even seen him dressed.

Very scary. I like it overall.

The "damaged" on his forehead is cringe inducing, but the rest of the ink is neat. I love the idea that Batman has beat his ass so many times that he needs a grill lol.

But I gotta agree with Slade, I really miss the permanent smile.

[Slade]

Yeah the permanent smile is a classic Joker trait. It just doesn't feel like Joker at all.

[Jephael]

OMG, I can just imagine the bad one-liners the writers are gonna come up with in regards to Joker's features, especially his teeth! :trolleye:

[Amaranthus]

Looks like a nut that's spent a ton of time in prison.

That's the problem.
The Joker is crazy. He doesn't go to prison. He gets locked up in Arkham asylum.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I love this. It's not MY Joker (mine was and always will be Heath Ledger) but this looks like a kick-ass take on him nonetheless. We've had Classic Joker (Burton), Realistic Joker (Nolan), and now Punk Joker (Snyder). Loving the dentalwork, the tattoos are a bit much, but if he's been in Arkham long enough, what else is he going to do?

Anyone else notice how the font of the "HA"s matches The Dark Knight? Love it.

[mexichrist83]

So, the new Joker is basically Ninja from Die Antwoord? Looks awful. If that's what they did to Joker does that worry anyone else in regard to what they're going to do with Harley Quinn in her first live action movie appearance?

I'm not a big Batman fan but I do like the character's of Joker and Harley so I have to say that this is kind of a drag.

[The Stryker]

That's the problem.
The Joker is crazy. He doesn't go to prison. He gets locked up in Arkham asylum.

Well who says he was always put in Arkham? There was a point in Batman history where Arkham was closed or didn't exist yet and these nuts were just put in blackgate.

[TigerClaw]

That's the problem.
The Joker is crazy. He doesn't go to prison. He gets locked up in Arkham asylum.
The problem with putting the Joker in Arkham Asylum is, He fiits rights at at home, And causes all sorts of chaos at the facility, You seen the Arkham games.

[plastroncafe]

The only thing that's a bit too on the noise for me are the tattoos of the laughter. Everything else I kind of dig.

And I was one of the many unconvinced by the first view images of Leger's Joker.

[TigerClaw]

Here's a couple of Memes from that Joker image.

[pennydreadful]

*shrugs* It's not like there's not a precedent for The Joker doing the whacky when it comes to his appearance; when he appeared in the last few issues of Batman RIP, he was in suspenders and stovepipe pants and had his tongue split in half. In The Batman Animated Series he had no shoes, huge front teeth and dredlocks. In Death of the Family, he was in a mechanic's jumpsuit and was wearing his own face as a mask.

The great thing about The Joker is that there are a lot of different ways that he can be interpreted and played - I say wait til we see him in action; you could end up being totally blown away. Remember, everyone freaked out and complained when Heath Ledger was first cast as The Joker - now they love him.

[Slade]

I actually didn't freak out when Ledger was cast and even though I don't like the tatts and all that, I can forgive it all if he would just have the smile...


God damnit, I'm starting to sound like Cybercubed. :o

[NinjaPug]

Memes are so f**king stupid.

[CyberCubed]

Isn't this supposed to be a younger Joker too, like in his twenties or something?

[sdp]

Joker looks terrible, however I pretty much thought the same thing (as did the internet as a whole) when the first image of Nolan's Joker came out and while not my definitive Joker that turned out to be a great performance.

[Amaranthus]

So, apparently. The tattoos won't be in the film.
They were just added for the Joker's anniversary.

[ProactiveMan]

Memes are so f**king stupid.

Dunno, the 'Play it Loud' one made me laugh pretty hard.

I'll reserve judgement until I see the whole thing in context, but I like that they did something a little weird. *edit* Unless they didn't *edit*
I like his hair too, from what I can see.

[Leo656]

It really is too soon to tell. It's just a lot different from what most people were probably expecting. It's clear that they want to distance themselves as far as possible from the last series, which to a large number of people is blasphemous, because for a while yet, you're still going to have a majority of people swearing "Nolan, Bale and Ledger's stuff is never going to be topped." Just like some people still swear that Burton's stuff was better, even though... y'know... it wasn't. :trazz:

It'll probably be fine. I don't get the obsession with him "needing" to have the permanently frozen grin, though; he actually doesn't always have it in the comics, it's entirely dependent on the artist. Sometimes he's "stuck" that way, sometimes it's a scar, and sometimes he just does it because he feels like it. Even in the cartoon version everyone's so obsessed with, he didn't have a permanent smile. It's whatever. The only thing with me is that the tats are a bit much, but even if that part is real they'd probably only be visible in one scene anyway.

I'unno, it's alright. Could be better could be worse. I'll admit I'm a little biased towards Ledger's take, but eh, gotta move on sometime.

[pennydreadful]

I think the tattoos being for the anniversary are still a fan theory at this stage, aren't they?

[NinjaPug]

I think the tattoos being for the anniversary are still a fan theory at this stage, aren't they?

Yeah, that's just wishful thinking from the fans who hate the tattoos.

I gotta admit, I'm just glad people on Facebook quit posting those stupid "Do you bleed?" Batman/Superman memes and focused on this now.

Seems like Joker won't have the Tats as it was a pic for Joker's 75th anniversary.

[Candy Kappa]

Honestly, the tats aren't a big deal. The real issue is the lack of impressive eyebrows :lol:

Or at the very least, wearing more than just panties and a t-shirt. I think the Arkham City costume was a great blend of eye candy and badass. Plus functional (well, as functional as comic book costumes ever are)...

Also not a fan of the cotton-candy hair.

I'll admit, this just went from "must-see-in-theaters" to "must-see-on-Redbox" for me. Probably won't change my mind until a trailer wins me over.

Apparently they were referencing the look from New 52's Suicide Squad... a book that the majority of fans have derided for not being well written. Harley's look in that book ALSO being derided by a majority of fans (or at least people with good taste).

So yeah... if they're pulling heavily from the latest Suicide Squad issues instead of earlier (better) runs, and better versions of characters... I've lost quite a bit of enthusiasm for the film. We shall see.

At least one of them is gonna get their head blown off in the initial mission briefing when they tell Amanda Waller to pound sand.

[Shred Head]

Ok I get the fact that I will probably never get the Timm Dini look for Harley in live action especially in Suicide Sqaud. I get what there going for and I'm not made of stone or a prude. I can deal with with the the booty shorts and even the the stupid collar that says puddin but god those tats and those highheels. Those kinda take this design and make it cross the line of trashy to crack whore pretty badly. I'll looking forward to this less and less in fact the whole DCU movie verse I'm losing excitement with every reveal.

I will applaud one thing they actually didn't make Killer Croc an all CGI character and will have practical effects thats rare for Hollywood. So I'll give them credit for that.

Yeah, I agree - I really don't like the mutant crocodile versions.

[Candy Kappa]

I really feel that they often takes the Atavism angle a bit too far, and he's a far more interesting character when he's a guy suffering from a comic booky Ichthyosis disorder.

It's the kind of design you could play with, and get something interesting.
I'm with you Kappa, personally feel it would have been far more interesting to see him as a man suffering from a skin disorder that look like scales. It would have fit the real world vibe more.

He isn't a mutant crocodile, at least he shouldn't really be.

I don't know what the hell he's supposed to be in Suicide squad, but that's one lame ass design.

No kidding, but then again, it's staring Will Smith, and David Ayer is directing, so really, what the hell did we expect?

That goomba design from the Super Mario movie has gotten so much milage. SMH.

Eh, Croc don't look too bad. That's actually pretty close to how 80s Croc looked.

I kinda think his style got too exaggerated over the years, until he practically looked like Leatherhead with rabies. I kinda dig this look. Takes me back.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Y'know, now that I see those closeups, I like the look.

Except for the fingers. Dude needs a manicure stat.

Really excited for Leto's take for Joker after seeing this.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Joker and Harley both look and act perfect.

That's all I care about; when can I order my pair of opening-day tickets?

[BabyTurtles]

Wow Harley looks like a......uhh.......Is there a nice way of saying hooker? :ohwell: (those shorts couldn't be any shorter....seriously I don't think they can)

I'd dare someone to fight in those heels in real life.

Harley licking a cage...I'll take it lol, plus I think she'll be the talk of the movie

[Leo656]

Hmm. That's interesting. Looks a little more serious than I expected, which is good. Alright, I'm all in for this one, too. Even the Joker looks better in action than I expected. I've been kind of on the fence on this one but I like where this is going.

At least one Squad member always goes down before it's over... wonder who it'll be this time, and how? That'll be interesting to see. Since it's lesser-known characters they can get away with being a little more violent and unorthodox than the "main" DC films, while still remaining in the same universe. Likewise, I expect that the Flash, Green Lantern, and Shazam! films, will all be significantly brighter and lighter while still being recognizable as companion films.

It's interesting. I like what they're doing with it.

[Electric]

As a total DC nerd, today was like Christmas. I'll be ranting over in BvS thread too.

The trailer gave off a very creepy and very dark tone which was PERFECT. If they keep that for most of the movie, I think it'll turn out perfectly.
Since joker and Harley are 2 of my top 5 favorite villains, finally getting to see them both was great. I'm extremely excited, with a few small concerns, but I can easily get over them.


With Harley Quinn: Margot looks the part. The looks and facial expressions really showed just how insane she is. The movie seems to be doing what other media seems to sometimes alter with her in that she's pretty damn capable. The gymnastics/acrobatics seemed heavily emphasized and looks like she pretty much destroyed a guard? In her little cage. Favorite tease so far was her using the bat as a shotgun. Just such a Harley-Esque thing to do showing her fun and crazy personality that makes me think this film got it right.

Only concerns with her are:
the costume. Really not a huge issue at all but just irritating to me, as a fan of most of her former outfits. Id prefer the red and black over red/pink and blue, but I get that in the specific suicide squad comics the blue is canon, and 2 other character shave the whole red and black theme going. Also, where as she has always been checkered in outfits, they really just cut her down the middle: half blue, half red. Honestly just wish they would've flipped the jacket colors and it would've been great. Next the heels. I get it's a movie, but those seem damn near impossible to do anything. Would've preferred a thicker heel atleast, or platforms boots. Lastly, all the white. Without her jacket, her entire outfit is basically white, plus the white boots. Just something I wish they would've subbed out for little more red and blue. Love the hair though: they took a note out of the Arkham book. And the diamonds being tattoos on her leg was a nice touch

And also the voice. Not trying to judge too quickly here, as I've heard so little, but her voice doesn't quite sound like Harley's. Just doesn't quite have the same Brooklyn accent and or high pitch squeak and or touch of crazy. But again, I heard like three very shot lines. So not judging
yet

With joker: that voice is perfect. Reminiscent of hamill without being hamill. It's creepy, and can be dark, yet high and crazy. The laugh was gave me chills.
Best joker smile yet, even with silver teeth
Each jokers had their own unique something about them that just sells it as the joker. Like with Ledger, it was all the little mannerisms and expressions. With this joker, I think it's the eyes. Intense and almost erratic, you can see they insanity in them.

Concern: put on a damn purple suit. Tattoos I'm ok with (minus forehead) and I guess I should've figured since he has them he'd be shirtless at some point, but really, part of the jokers main creepy factor is how he's dressed in a wacky colored suit. Makes him seem all the more insane and threatening, because his primary weapon is his unpredictability, not his strength, and seeing him walk around shirtless to me just makes him seem a little more like a thug than this evil mastermind. Silver jacket with pink shirt was closer, but still hoping for the full purple

[Leo656]

It would appear that he's locked up somewhere, so to me it makes sense that at least in these scenes he's not all decked out in his Sunday best. :lol: I'm entranced by his little bit of footage though, he looks and sounds great. And I hated the initial image we saw. Who knows, if wee see scenes of him out in the larger world he might be actually dressed, I'unno; it's the guy, not the outfit. I'll be patient. That little snippet showed that at least they've got a good actor in the spot.

Likewise, I'm just super glad they're apparently not doing overly-caffeinated, super-spastic Harley, who's been way over-played and super annoying in recent years. I'm fine with the voice being different; this chick looks like she's nuts. She looks like the kind of lunatic who would be attracted to The Joker, and maybe even be as bad as he is. I'm intrigued.

This thing went from "Maybe I'll go see it" to "Opening night for sure" really F'n quick, with me. :lol:

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

Thanks to twitter not hiding images, and the internet's constant need to ruin movies while they're being made...I can tell you Joker Most certainly is wearing a purple suit at some point...it's not like Ledgers and it's not like Nicholson's...it looks like it cost him a million dollars.

[Electric]

I'm definitely keeping my patience, as again, my few "concerns" are all really aesthetic and have not at all decreased my interest in what may be my favorite movie.

With the joker, to me it didn't seemed like he was locked up in that scene, instead locking someone else up if you've seen the BvS trailer you see a supposedly dead robin suit, and I'm wondering if this is the notorious joker scene where he tortures Jason Todd

With Harley, they definitely don't seem to be doing the ditzy Harley who has become prominent, though with her licking bars and slamming her head into them, they maintained her crazy. Again, it's nothing huge, just that she is one of my favorite comic characters and I'd prefer to hear, I don't know how else to word it, but a little more insanity in her voice. But, watching it again, the crazy she doesn't convey in her voice she more than makes up for in her expressions.

Not questioning you, just would love to see, do you know where I can find the picture?

Or is it the silver jacket with bright purple dress shirt underneath when he's getting out of the car?

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

You know what Electric, my mistake, I saw a photo like this one and he's not wearing his jacket. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CFQf1mgWAAAkhAM.jpg

Also, about your theory with the torture scene...I have a theory too, He is torturing someone to find out where Harley is.

[pennydreadful]

I needed to change my pants after watching that trailer; seriously cannot WAIT for this to come out.

I had been unhappy with some of what we'd seen prior to now - namely Harley's costume (I wasn't actually bothered by the short-shorts, but those shoes) - but this trailer knocked me on my ass. It looks like the actress is going to do a solid job and having her do the gymnastics thing was awesome as hell... and I mean hell, maybe they'll give some context for why she chooses the costume that she does for this movie. It's a little weird hearing her without the accent but again, the hyper Brooklyn-accent version of her is the one that's been used most often and it'll be interesting seeing how she's played from another angle; she seems to have a definite deadly and demented edge here, as opposed to just being love interest and comic relief.

I would've liked The Wall to be bigger, because I love fat Amanda Waller - but at least she's not New 52 Waller - Jared Leto absolutely slays in every role he does and I know he's going to do a killer job as the Joker.

Two thumbs up - these guys have my money. :D

I've been on board with the movie from the beginning but seeing it in action solidified it for sure. Joker looks gross but in a good way.

I'm shocked at how polished and 'done' the reel looked considering how far out the thing still is.

so....with everything YOU want...you want a Batman The Animated Series movie?

[TurtleTitan97]

Well this is disappointing. Not only are there no plans to release the trailer anytime soon but due to the leaks for Suicide Squad and Deadpool, the studios are reconsidering showing footage at future SDCC events: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=122781

[Electric]

so....with everything YOU want...you want a Batman The Animated Series movie?



Nope, not at all what I said. Just because I like the original look and sound of Joker and Harley doesn't mean I want that.

Leto sounds fantastic, and looks creepy, but no matter where the joker is, he is always At some point in his purple suit not just in the animated series. EXCEPT in the dark knight returns, where he was in a gray jacket and pale pink shirt with a silver tie...which seems like exactly where this joker look came from. Unfortunately not a fan of that joker, but other than the suit, Leto looks far from it.

And with Harley, I already said I don't mind the red and blue, as its canon with suicide squad NOT animated series. Just wished it was checkered like it has been in eeevvvvvverrrryyyything, not just the animated series. Also, if you had read, I said I wanted any of the Brooklyn accent/squeaky/crazy tones in her voice, not just the Brooklyn which was dominant in the animated series.

Yet, again, I will clarify, that everything "I want" that I didn't get is so very aesthetic that it won't bother my hype for this movie at all

[pennydreadful]

Well this is disappointing. Not only are there no plans to release the trailer anytime soon but due to the leaks for Suicide Squad and Deadpool, the studios are reconsidering showing footage at future SDCC events: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=122781

That's stupid - releasing that kind of material gets audiences psyched worldwide and hello, not everybody can go to Comic Con.

Their job is to make us want to see this movie so they can get our money - given that half the internet collectively sh*t their pants with hatred over the new Joker design and since the trailer leak, there's been a complete 180 and folks are now loving it, they're really working against their own best interests by not releasing the trailers/not showing more in future.

The older I get, the more convinced I become that studios are completely out of touch with what audiences want.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

How dumb... They should all learn from Zack Snyder, and simultaneously release the trailer online that the audience is seeing at Comic-Con. Fox must not be too mad, because the Deadpool trailer is very easy to find, but the Suicide Squad one isn't.

[Autbot_Benz]

that is a lot of horse BS. They should be happy people are excited for 2016. Its the age of cell phones deal with your crap being leaked if your not gonna put it up.

[Leo656]

Yeah, I'unno why they didn't go with the logic Snyder and Co. used for Dawn of Justice... "It's gonna get out by this afternoon anyway... let's make sure the first thing people see is Official, not a blurry cellphone video." They still have the better part of a year to reveal more stuff.

penny nailed it. Also, how studios are out of touch for the most part.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

What gets me, is they are pissed at one person leaking a video of the trailer, but don't give 2 craps about all set photos leaked and movie websites who publish these photos. In my opinion those set photos are 100 times more detrimental to the movie than the blurry trailer is. I remember when people saw Bane for the first time, even I was like oh no what is Nolan doing...turns out it was fine, but those unedited, out of context photos can be very damaging....hell just go look at the TMNT 2 set photos thread.

[Leo656]

Yeah but TMNT 2 is gonna be as big a piece of sh*t as the first one, though. :lol: I get your point but that's a poor way to make it.

I'm still not that sold on this one yet. Maybe after a few more trailers...

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

Avengers was good, Iron Man was good...Captain America 2 was really good...but honestly, The Dark Knight Trilogy, MoS, and now the trailers for BvS, and Suicide Squad....DC is by far and away headed towards absolute domination of comic book movies in the next 5 years.

I love Marvel and DC movies both, but I tend to rewatch the DC movies a lot more.

[Vicky82]

Wow it looks great, I have to do some research before i'll go see this movie.

Has it been said what rating they are planning to give this movie, PG13 or R.

I'm getting more excited seeing Deadpool, Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad than X-Men, it hasn't really clicked with me yet. Dr Strange doesn't appeal to me yet.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Wow it looks great, I have to do some research before i'll go see this movie.

If it's PG-13, it's definitely "The Dark Knight" PG-13, not "Avengers" PG-13.

I heartily approve.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

Couldn't agree more.

I love Marvel and DC movies both, but I tend to rewatch the DC movies a lot more.

Same here, I think Captain America 2 has been the only Marvel Studios movie I've re-watched more than once. I say Marvel Studios because X-Men 2 is amazing, and The Wolverine is the best Fox/Marvel movie so far.

I grew up on Batman, and Superman so I'm partial to DC.

Wow it looks great, I have to do some research before i'll go see this movie.

I'm hoping they're filming it as an R, and the intentions to edit to PG-13...and then hopefully Deadpool is very successful and they go with R.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Moody teenagers are these films' target demographic.

[TurtleTitan97]

That was a great trailer.

[Raph's Girl]

It looks interesting. Im just not that keen on all those tats on Joker..or the grill for that matter. :/ Still wish they had chosen CCH as Amanda. *sighs* Either way I'll be in theatres for this.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

I haven't looked at the plot at all so I'm just taking a guess here...but doesn't it seem like the SS is trying to capture Joker?

[Slade]

I think from something I read a while back, they use him because he's the only one who's actually seen Batman or some sh*t. That was a while a back though so it could have changed. But Joker is in his cell through all the movie except for a flashback or something. I can't remember exactly

[TurtleTitan97]

Warner Brothers reason for releasing the trailer:

“Warner Bros. Pictures and our anti-piracy team have worked tirelessly over the last 48 hours to contain the Suicide Squad footage that was pirated from Hall H on Saturday. We have been unable to achieve that goal. Today we will release the same footage that has been illegally circulating on the web, in the form it was created and high quality with which it was intended to be enjoyed. We regret this decision as it was our intention to keep the footage as a unique experience for the Comic Con crowd, but we cannot continue to allow the film to be represented by the poor quality of the pirated footage stolen from our presentation.”

-Sue Kroll, President Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures


http://comicbook.com/2015/07/13/suicide-squad-footage-release-statement-issued-by-warner-bros-/

[Candy Kappa]

Wow... Drama Queens.

[Purse Grabbin Puke]

What a load of crap. WB knew this would happen. This is arguably the most "leaked" movie while in production ever. And WB knew this would happen based on what happened LAST YEAR with the BvS teaser being leaked. Then again with the first official teaser.

Bottom line, this stuff has a popularity cycle of about 48 hours. If they had issued no statements, this wouldn't even be a problem anymore. Now they release a clear trailer, after the talk has died down, and now we're all talking about it again.

Not to mention David Ayer made a joke about finding the trailer on the internet before he showed it to Hall H.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

The movie already has Joker and Harley Quinn in it, plus bald bearded Will Smith.

This movie has enough hype without these patsies pretending to cry about cellphone footage of the trailer. Gimme a break.

[sdp]

I was hyped when this movie was announced by stopped being hyped as I saw the character list. I'm not a fan of the newer Harley Quinn and friends Suicide Cast, the cam footage trailer didn't convince me but the official release on definitely did. I am now very hyped for this movie. I hope Joker doesn't have a huge role in the movie, he has no business in a SS film. With that said I did love this interpretation of the Joker.

Now some speculation on who I think will be the member who doesn't make it in the end:
I'm guessing Deadshot is going to be killed in the movie? I mean Will Smith is the most expensive person in the cast so he's high in my not going to make it list.

[Jester]

So...Jared Leto is totally playing Joker like Ledger did. Good to know.

[Electric]

After re watching that trailer, I honestly think the person the joker is torturing is Harley, probably a flashback to when he "made" her into Harley. There's a scene in the trailer, with a girl strapped to the table with a leather strap in her mouth, and someone creepily rubbing her face. Well, in better quality, that person is shirtless with tattoos wearing a purple glove, and the girl on the table is blonde, has on a red shirt with a white looking lab coat, and is wearing glasses similar to the ones we saw on pre released images of Harley

Also, people were wondering about the panda with a machine gun. At the very end, where joker walks in, it looks like there is the panda suit in the corner


Edit: watching again, definitely Harley, as the whole shooting gang is with joker, and you see her get thrown on to a gurney.

BONUS: joker was walking through the hospital in a PURPLE coat. I'll take it! Each joker has had their variation, like ledger with his Trench coat, so I guess this very shiny flash plasticy looking purple coat will be letos.

Very satisfied with this now that I could see details, especially since we'll be getting a little of Harley's origin story

[pennydreadful]

So...Jared Leto is totally playing Joker like Ledger did. Good to know.

I really think Leto's going to bring something new to it - I honestly don't understand why so many people praise Ledger's Joker (but then, I hated the Nolan movies so maybe I'm biased). Based on what I've seen of Leto's Joker, he actually comes off as someone who is insane, whereas Ledger's Joker just came off as some existential thug who'd overdosed on Kafka.

Edit: watching again, definitely Harley, as the whole shooting gang is with joker, and you see her get thrown on to a gurney.

You're right; I turned up a screenshot this morning:

Harley being strapped to a table in bondage, being tortured and possibly raped by Joker. Man, feminists will have a field day with this one.

[Leo656]

The more I see, the more I like. I'm glad the "real" trailer came out, I had a feeling they'd do that. Made no sense to do it for BvS but not this. Anyway, looks great.

No Captain Boomerang, though? :lol: I know he's a Z-Lister but he's a perennial Squad member. :lol: Maybe after the Flash movie comes out.

He's the guy that's talking to Harley near the end of the trailer.

[pennydreadful]

I thought the voice was more of a blend of the animated movies... but then again, we've only heard him say like 3 lines so I guess it's hard to get a solid impression based on that.

Cubed, I don't see any rape going down in the movie. As far as the Joker torturing her, Harley and Mistah J have always had a very unhealthy and sadistic relationship, with both of them being violent towards each other. Like, during Joker's "wearing my own rotting face" phase, Harley beat the living f*ck out of him. Then he locked her in a room full of corpses dressed as Harleys (all failed Harley's he'd tried to replace her with because he missed her while she was with the Suicide Squad) and was all smitten when she chewed through her wrist to escape.

I don't think they're going to play Harley as the battered wife with Stockholm Syndrome, or that they're taking away her autonomy as a character and throwing her under the bus just so DC can give a stiff middle finger to Marvel's kiddy-friendly fare.

I think the torture scene is Joker showing his commitment to her by "helping to free her" - that is, he helps free her mind from conventional thinking and society and go with him into his world of crazy in the film. Him shooting 50,000 volts through her brain to help release her "inner self" is his version of an engagement ring. He is insane, after all. This is all my own speculation based just on the little footage we've seen, but I think it's being put in there to show back-story for both characters, as well as showing some of the nuances of their relationship.

Plus, Geoff Johns is consulting on all DC's stuff, and he knows his DC characters - I don't think he'll sit back and let them go too far astray with how Harley and Joker are depicted.

Just my two cents though. :D

[Leo656]

He's the guy that's talking to Harley near the end of the trailer.

Ah, really? I wondered! Nice. Nice. I keep forgetting which Squad members are in this besides the obvious.

[Slade]

I dunna Penny, maybe it's the voice....seems very "Ledger-esque"

Yeah, that's what I get from it too. Speech patterns maybe? Don't know if that's what I'm looking for. The sound of his voice did sound like Ledger.

I hope it was just that scene though. I loved Ledger's Joker but I don't want this one to sound like him the entire time.

The laugh though :o Again, unless it's just that scene.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

The music editing for the trailer was amazing.

I couldn't care less about the film itself, though.

[Bry]

I wish they had gotten CC Pounder who voiced Amanda Waller in the Justice League cartoon to play real life Amanda Waller

That would've been perfect. Nothing against Viola Davis, though - she's terrific and will do a great job, I'm sure. Casting in this movie is quite good overall.

The trailer was pretty decent? A little... dourer than I expected, weirdly enough? At times, anyway. I mean, it's about a team of supervillains being used by the government, but it's one of those movies I hope will be a lot of fun and not take itself too seriously. This DC Cinematic Universe desperately needs some fun, and that kinda-deranged, violent kind would be perfect here. Really hoping they keep the Hot Topic Angst to a minimum. But it's got potential and I'm still pretty excited to see it.

Still think this version of the Joker looks stupid as hell, but hopefully the performance makes it work?

Warner Brothers reason for releasing the trailer:

“Warner Bros. Pictures and our anti-piracy team have worked tirelessly over the last 48 hours to contain the Suicide Squad footage that was pirated from Hall H on Saturday. We have been unable to achieve that goal. Today we will release the same footage that has been illegally circulating on the web, in the form it was created and high quality with which it was intended to be enjoyed. We regret this decision as it was our intention to keep the footage as a unique experience for the Comic Con crowd, but we cannot continue to allow the film to be represented by the poor quality of the pirated footage stolen from our presentation.”

-Sue Kroll, President Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures

WB is obviously trying to pump up the "controversy" here, IMO. Trailers are recorded at Comic-Con all the time, and it almost always helps the movie. This is footage engineered to get people excited, and it did the job. Their official release has nabbed 11 million views since yesterday. The studios fully understand how it works - the footage is officially "exclusive", but if it gets leaked, they have a free window to release it to everyone. They'll make a big stink about how disappointed they are, but this is the best possible result for them and they know that.

[CyberCubed]

I don't know how they're going to give 10 villains proper screentime. I know Joker/Harley and Will Smith will be the major characters, but you have like 10 villains overall.

[Electric]

That's the thing cubed, it's the Suicide Squad, it's not nor should it be equal and proper screen time. A lot of them will probably die as the film progresses (I'm placing my money on Diablo or the rope guy, slip not?, going out first), its inherent. That's what makes it so different. granted, boomerang, Harley or dead shot will most likely make it out alive, or far enough, but the others are kind of up in the air.

Hell, in the animated suicide squad, KGBeast had literally one line and maybe a minute of screen time before he was killed.

Yeah, you could look at it as "what a waste" or "it should focus on all of them" but at that point you would not be wanting to watch a SUICIDE squad movie.

Unfortunately, their lineup is so biased, it's pretty easy to assume who survives and who doesn't. Are they a Batman/Arrow villain? They'll survive. Do we not know who their primary antagonist is? They'll die.

Croc, Harley, Deadshot, and Boomerang will all survive.

Enchantress will as well because her powers are just too crazy to kill off.

The rope and tattoo guys? Dead meat. Katana, well... not sure about her. She could go either way.

I've been to SDCC the last six years, and this year...was oh so very different than the others, when it comes to motion pictures. Yes, this is anecdotal, but...I walked into Hall H without a line this year, which is not something anyone could have done at any point during the previous five.

No, I don't think SDCC is helping the movie industry anymore.
I've heard people refer to it as the Scott Pilgrim affect.
Studios hoping to hype up their movies before the geekerati, only to find out just how fickle we are at all times.

The bias is there. Just because the comics mainly focus around those few now.

I really think croc is up in the air, though. All of them besides the main 3. And really, if they only plan to make 1 suicide squad movie, I doubt anyone besides Harley is. Dead shots role in the comics now is mainly suicide squad, batman could do without him. And boomerang was even killed in the animated movie.

Yeah, but Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, and Will Smith are the bankable stars of this movie. (Plus the girl doing Enchantress.) I don't see Warner Bros "hobbling" any potential sequels by doing away with the biggest headliners.

[Leo656]

There's a few things you can expect from every Suicide Squad story that have me really excited to see this.

- At least one member will betray the team.
- At least one member will be killed, possibly During or After betraying the team.
- The team will Fail Spectacularly at whatever their given task, because they're not even a team, just a pack of jackals forced to work together because nobody cares if they die or not.

This will be very, very, very interesting and a lot of fun to watch.

[Electric]

That's part of the fun of this movie though: we know to a point how it's going to play out, we just don't know who, where or when. Again, the animated one wasted no time at all to eliminate one member, and I'm really thinking slip knot is going to fill that role this time around.

Leo, pretty accurate summary of SS, especially the Last one. they're given a task, but only a couple of them actually care about it, while another one goes along with it to actually perform a different task without the others knowing, then somewhere along the way another member decides on yet another task, and at that point half of them are either dead or gone. A literal mess. And if the joker is involved in any way besides the flashback/origin, it's almost a guarantee that Harley's going to flip on them at some point.

[Leo656]

I haven't been studying this one as closely as I have been BvS, but I wouldn't be surprised if Harley's just using the Squad mission to help her and Joker escape custody.

I don't think they'd "waste" Joker as being only a minor plot point or a flashback scene.

[CyberCubed]

I think this movie is going to completely bomb in the box office. With the name like "Suicide Squad" nobody outside of comic fans are going to touch it with a ten foot pole. The movie is also very dark to the point where kids/teens are not going to be interested (and unlike other R rated movies they won't be begging their parents to take them), and Joker is really the only recognizable character to the masses.

I have no idea why DC went with this as one of their next big movies instead of launching anything from Wonder Woman/Supergirl/Flash/Green Arrow, etc next alongside Batman/Superman.

I'll be very surprised if this does well, although if Joker is well received I can see word of mouth getting around to get people to watch it just for him.

[Slade]

I think the movie will do decent. It's going to have Joker and Harley Quinn...those two are popular enough.

Plus you've got Will Smith.

[Jester]

I think this movie is going to completely bomb in the box office. With the name like "Suicide Squad" nobody outside of comic fans are going to touch it with a ten foot pole.
Yeah. Kinda like that comic based bomb Guardians of the Galaxy......wait....

[Powder]

I dislike virtually everything that is DC & yet I'm actually considering buying a ticket to this thing.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Yeah. Kinda like that comic based bomb Guardians of the Galaxy......wait....

Well, the difference is they had a cute talking raccoon. And the trailers were very humor-based.

[Electric]

Well, the difference is they had a cute talking raccoon. And the trailers were very humor-based.


Yeah, and this one has a hot psycho chick. And the early trailer so far is very dark. Not everyone wants all that much humor and talking animals.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Yeah, and this one has a hot psycho chick. And the early trailer so far is very dark. Not everyone wants all that much humor and talking animals.

As a self-proclaimed Batman fan, I have no trouble admitting that my main draw for this movie is the hot psycho chick. Harley Quinn, if done right, is awesome.

Not everything has to be kid/teen-friendly and dumbed-down for the masses - IMO, it's about bloody time that they started making some comic book movies specifically for adult fans, not just homogenized family-friendly fare to sell toys. There are literally dozens of kid-friendly versions of DC & Marvel fare out there -- let the grown-ups (not to mention the people who actually buy the comics) have something for once. I'm so tired of every single movie having to be appealing to the mass market - if you make a good movie, it'll be successful regardless.

As a self-proclaimed Batman fan, I have no trouble admitting that my main draw for this movie is the hot psycho chick. Harley Quinn, if done right, is awesome.

Bite your tongue, boy - Harley is always awesome. :P Though I will admit to having done my fair share of bitching back in the day, when I first saw her redesign for the New 52. :lol:

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Yeah, and this one has a hot psycho chick. And the early trailer so far is very dark. Not everyone wants all that much humor and talking animals.

My point is that Guardians was clearly a family movie meant for a wide audience.

This is clearly not. The first trailer was pretty good, and if they want to turn a profit anything close to Guardians they'll have to maintain that level of quality in marketing. It's too offbeat of a film to flounder in future advertisements and still be successful.

[CyberCubed]

They need to make a Harley/Ivy movie or have them together in a Batman film. Ivy/Harley is actually canon in the comics, although its usually and on-and-off thing since Harley always goes back to the Joker eventually.

The Ivy/Harley pairing is probably the best lesbian pairing in comics. Ivy finally learns to appreciate humans instead of hating them and only caring about plants, and Harley gets away from her abusive relationship with the Joker.

I especially like in the new 52 comics has scenes with Ivy in a towel and Harley laying on her lap in bed, and all the suggestive innuendo between them.

[Leo656]

No kidding. Color me shocked that that's your Very Favorite Thing.

This movie isn't meant to be a billion-dollar one. That's what BvS is for. This one is to expand the DC film universe and introduce a ton of important characters and concepts very quickly. It's a world-building movie. Not a throw-away by any means, as especially with the Batman cameo it's bound to be Really Important. But I doubt they expect it to do huge business. Good business, sure. But they didn't build this movie to be a "Blockbuster" and it's pretty easy to see that.

...Blockbuster, coincidentally enough, wouldn't be a bad choice to use in the sequel. :tgrin:

Anyways, they obviously want it to make a lot of money but I'm sure they have good reasons for having it come out way after BvS at a less than "peak" time of the season. It's a companion film, to show who the players are and what the stakes are in this new DCU. It'll make Good money and serve its ultimate purpose. But the new Joker alone plus the Batman cameo promises that it will do better than okay. People will come just out of curiosity, and hopefully then be blown away by the quality of the actual film and go see it again.

I was totally "meh" about it but now the more I'm seeing the better it looks. I have faith in this one. It'll be a bit hit with its target audience, people who are a little worn out on the candy-coated Marvel fare.


Bite your tongue, boy - Harley is always awesome. :P
Ehhhhhhhhh, MOSTLY. Not when they write her all coked-up, bouncing off the walls, cutesy-wootzy "Aren't I just so KOOKY and ADOWABBUL?!" That sh*t's awful. But yeah, only a few people really write her that way and only in more recent years when the writing of everything has been awful. So I'm REALLY glad that's not the Harley they're going with here, because that's what I was most afraid of.

[Bry]

I've been to SDCC the last six years, and this year...was oh so very different than the others, when it comes to motion pictures. Yes, this is anecdotal, but...I walked into Hall H without a line this year, which is not something anyone could have done at any point during the previous five.

That's... interesting. And Marvel Studios bypassed it entirely, I believe? (Though they can make a massive event out of showing off some logos and tentative release dates on their own, so they're well past "needing" Comic-Con at this point.)

There's a pretty reasonable argument that SDCC has gone way too "Hollywood" of late, so I'm curious if this trend will continue.

No, I don't think SDCC is helping the movie industry anymore.
I've heard people refer to it as the Scott Pilgrim affect.
Studios hoping to hype up their movies before the geekerati, only to find out just how fickle we are at all times.

Oh, sure - that message should have been received a long time ago. Remember how much the Internet ate up "Snakes on a Plane" way back when, but were totally sick of the joke by the time it was released?

I think Scott Pilgrim, as much as I loved it, was pretty much bound to get the turnout it did. It had a very specific appeal that went over the heads of the general audience. (And it didn't help that it was released right at the peak of Michael Cera Backlash.) Something like Suicide Squad is in a much healthier situation to begin with, IMO.

[Electric]

As another self proclaimed batman fan, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more excited see Harley than even the joker

[shuriken]

I might check it out, but the trailer looked great. I know that means nothing but getting kinda excited.

[blindturtle02]

Very excited about this movie. I'm just now getting to watch the trailer due to faulty Internet. I like the tone of the trailer. I like Harley no matter the incarnation, so I'm glad they added her. Don't get me started on Joker. Awesome to be seeing him again. Yeah, I know Heath Ledger is the definitive Joker for a ton of folks, but if you're including Batman in this DC film universe, you pretty much have to add the clown. Welcome back, Mr. J. I'm told this dude has some scary looking teeth. Uh, Joker hasn't ever randomly taken a bite out of anyone for giggles, has he? Yikes.

[THGhost]

I'm looking forward to this more than BvS, mainly because of Harley. :P

[TurtleTitan97]

Surprised no one has posted this. A whole slew of SS pics have just come in, chief among them a full look at Joker. More here:http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=126273

http://i.imgur.com/oinl3xDl.jpg

[NinjaPug]

Still looks terrible.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Still looks interesting. Potentially awesome.

[ToTheNines]

Lol, the cane is too much.

[Leo656]

The cane of all things? He quite often has a cane. Not always, but fairly often.

It's interesting. Not what I would have done, but interesting. Having actually liked what I've seen of Leto in action makes me more open to it. I mean it was just 5 seconds of a trailer, but it was enough to more than justify any of their choices. Ledger pretty much proved that the most important thing is to convincingly play the character, not necessarily having the exact same hair and makeup he traditionally has. I mean, that's what I probably would've done, gone all "purist" with it, but hey, nobody gives me a hundred million bucks to make movies.

Since he looks good so far in action, I'm less than concerned with the clothes.

[CyberCubed]

The purple jacket, cane, and teeth makes him look like some pimp drug dealer rather than the clown prince of crime.

[Leo656]

The in-story reason is that Batman long ago busted all his teeth, and apparently Arkham or Belle Reve or whatever don't have great dental and this was the best he could get done. :lol: It's whatever, totally pointless and over-the-top but it's been clear from the beginning that, for better and worse, "Different Than Last Time" is a key running theme in the newer DC films. All that and the tattoos and the other "flair" are unnecessary, you don't need them at all, but at the same time it doesn't hurt or break anything because you could still see Joker doing this or that. Like, he's never actually gone and gotten a bunch of weird goofy prison tattoos, historically, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't do that, and in fact he probably would and would probably do it all himself, because he's that kind of wacky guy.

Personally, the only real complaint I have is that I wish his hair was longer, but that's a really nitpicky personal preference. :lol: It's a little "punk", with the flashy jacket and all, but I get what they're going for. It'd be nice if we get at least one scene with a more traditional "purple tuxedo" look but I won't cry about it if we don't. I'm mostly concerned with how reptilian and psychotic he comes off in performing the character. He seems more manic than some others, but possibly more sinister at the same time. I'm impatient to see more footage; photographs tell me nothing! :tgrumble:

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I'm totally with Leo on this; love the jacket and cane, love the new take on Joker, and why the hell wouldn't he get a bunch of tattoos? Joker loves to stand out in a crowd...

The Joker creating his own species of fish is okay, but getting some grills and tats is too much for you to believe? :tlol:

[ProactiveMan]

Is he wearing Dee Jay's pants from Street Fighter II?

[Leo656]

Don't get me wrong, I totally get why a lot of people don't like it. It's a whole lot of "different" all at once and most people are still on the fence about this entire DC experiment in general, and thus are going to be extremely critical and unforgiving.

I just don't think it's the end of the world, since the Joker character is such a chameleon anyways. Ledger's version was more of an anarchist take; Leto's version looks to be kind of a punk rock spin on that same basic idea of a violent nihilistic sort of psychopath. I like that because it makes the character very dark and unpredictable, which is as it should be.

[Leo656]

So Joker will apparently wear his traditional outfit in at least one scene in the film:
https://www.yahoo.com/sy/nn/fp/rsz/112515/images/smush/JaredLetoSuicideSquad-ipad2_635x250_1448487508.jpg

I'm glad everyone can now go on to complain about other things. :trazz:

Also, this totally flew under my radar, but...
Apparently, the recent rumor is that the next Batman solo film, titled "The Batman", will be loosely based on the "Under The Red Hood" storyline. Apparently DC/WB have a lot of interest in making Jason Todd a major player in upcoming films; they want to position him as a major Batman film villain. We've seen the Robin costume on display in the Batcave in the Batman V Superman trailers, so it's long been all but confirmed that the storyline of Joker killing Robin will be intact in this universe, but so far, there's been a ton of speculation about which Robin that would be, Dick or Jason.

Apparently, Joker killing Jason is the event that leads into Suicide Squad and BvS; it's supposedly why he's locked up, and why his teeth are wrecked, as well. However, either Jason's death was faked OR he somehow comes back from the dead, because he's rumored to re-emerge in "The Batman" as The Red Hood, a murderous vigilante out for revenge on both Batman and the Joker. In "The Batman", Jason/Red Hood tries to frame Batman for a series of murders and convince the world he's finally gone over the edge, with the endgame of manipulating Batman and Joker into a final confrontation, where Jason can ultimately attempt to avenge himself on both.

The Joker is rumored to have a cameo scene in Batman V Superman, and will make his proper "debut" in Suicide Squad, but both are simply the build-up to his role in "The Batman", which is said to be huge. Jason, himself, is rumored to have cameos in both BvS and Suicide Squad, as well, possibly in flashbacks.

Dick Grayson is rumored to be mentioned by name as Nightwing in BvS - contradicting earlier rumors that said he was dead in this film universe - but will appear in the flesh as Nightwing in "The Batman", coming to Batman's aid as he takes on the dual threat of Joker and Red Hood.

We'll see. If true, all of that is awesome. Couldn't really ask for more. Hope! :tgrin:

[CyberCubed]

So basically its a lead in to the same story we saw animated in a movie a few years ago, where it was already done perfectly.

[Leo656]

Eh, kinda? You can play it a lot darker in an actual movie, for one thing.

You would complain about a live-action film with Nightwing, Red Hood, and Joker.

Get bent. Whattya want, f*ckin' Mad Hatter? :trazz: As long as it's good, I don't care if a cartoon did it. You know they're gonna change a bunch of stuff anyway, and about a billion people are going to go see a real movie that would never watch a cartoon, so it's all new to most people who'd go see it. It's also like 4 years away, anyway, that was just a broad strokes outline of what they're rumored to be doing, and they have a lot of time to tweak things. I have a feeling that it won't be as similar to the cartoon as it seems.

They could do a lot worse, frankly. So long as it's good. I mean can you imagine if they tried to adapt any of the Morrison Batman stuff? You'd have people slitting their wrists in the theater screaming "What is going on?!" :lol: Be thankful if what's described above is what we do get; a cartoon movie is fine but a "real" movie is a much better place to tell that story.

[Slade]

Hopefully, all that put an end to the Joker is actually Jason Todd crap that was going around..

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Joker and Harley Quinn's appearances alone will probably be a reason for kids to watch it.

[Leo656]

Rumors about the next trailer we're supposed to get sometime in February if not before...

http://screenrant.com/suicide-squad-trailer-2-breakdown-rumor/?ref=yfp

More specific, more Spoiler-y breakdown:
http://heroichollywood.com/home-1/2015/12/28/suicide-squad-2nd-trailer-shot-for-shot-breakdown

From the article:

According to trusted sources, the following is how it goes down. For starters, the trailer is cut to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody. I will include the lyrics in bold to help readers understand how it is cut to the trailer.

Is this the real life

Camera pans down a prison hallway, like we saw in footage at San Diego Comic Con. A guard closes the metal window that we see on some prison doors. We see it is Captain Boomerang they close the window on.

Is this just fantasy

We see Harley Quinn drinking tea and reading a book in her cell. She has a jumper on, her hair is up in curls, she has pink fuzzy slippers on as well.

Caught in a landslide

Deadshot is looking out a window from his cell. It is raining outside.

No escape from reality

Diablo is doing push-ups in his cell, another shot of him looking at a flame in his hand. Looking at the tv of a prison camera feed in Captain Boomerang's cell, he's yelling at it. Amanda Waller talks at a dinner table like comic con footage.

Too late

Warner Bros and DC Logo, neon blue and pink, like Harley's colors. Guards in armor running down prison hallway like in comic con footage.

My time has come

Deadshot in his cell, facing the door in a fighting stance, like a boxer. Guards open door to his cell and attack him. He's being held down in what looks like a medical chair, guards hit him in the stomach with a club.

Send shivers down my spine

A guard opens a metal tank, Diablo falls out in a rush of water, he's soaked to the bone. There is then a shot of a medical room, like an OR. Killer Croc is being wheeled in like the comic con footage. Deadshot says "What is this, uh, cheerleading tryouts?"

Body aching all the time

A yellow bodybag is cut open, and Captain Boomerang climbs out and punches one of MANY military looking guys around him. (I'm guessing this is how they get them out of the prison without anybody knowing). Slipknot punches what looks like a female FBI agent holding an SUV door open, then other FBI agents restrain him. Harley pops up and says "Hi boys", she looks normal here. Deadshot and Diablo are in prison jumpsuits with military guys behind Harley.

Goodbye everybody

Sliding doors opens with two military guards. Rick Flagg is now going through Deadshot's file with a normal looking Enchantress behind him. He says "Deadshot. Uhh... shoots people." We then see Deadshot in his suit looking down with guns in his hands. Rick Flagg: "Crocodile. He eats people." Croc pulls his hood down. Another shot of Croc jumping out of some water in what looks like a sewer and pulls some guard in with him. A close up shot of Diablo with Flagg voiceover "He burns people." Shot of Enchantress, now looking like a witch, sitting on a bed, finger to her mouth motioning to "shhhh" with Flagg voiceover "You're possessed by a witch." Harley laughing behind bars, Flagg voiceover "And she's just crazy." Shot of Harley, from the same outside shot we saw early saying "What was that?" We see a shot of the military guys outside. Back to Harley "I should kill everyone and escape? Sorry... it's the voices." Cut back to Slipknot, then back to Harley "Hahaha I'm kidding. That's not what they really said." Another shot from earlier where we see Deadshot and Diablo out in the in the compound with the military guys (it is daylight during this scene). Flagg "This is the deal." Shot of helicopter flying through city around dusk.

No. We will not let you go

We see the helicopter under attack, troops on the ground and there is lots of damage to buildings and vehicles. Flagg "You're going somewhere very bad." We see a humvee that is destroyed, almost looks melted.

We will not let you go

Inside of helicopter cabin, we see it being at at from the ground. Then we see a hero shot of Deadshot, Katana, Diablo, Captain Boomerang, Rick Flagg, and Harley Quinn. Flagg "You do something that'll get you killed." Captain Boomerang and Slipknot share an exchange of looks of concern. A camera follows Flagg and Deadshot and they lead people inside a building, guns raised.

We will not let you go

A large group of military guys coming into the same building from the last shot. We see a subway platform that has been destroyed, much like the street of earlier. Deadshot slides on his kneed towards camera firing his guns up in the air, Flagg firing his assault rifle behind him. We see Harley going up a glass elevator from the ground, she's got a baseball bat in her hands and she's waving to the ground.

Let me go-oh-oh-oh-oh

Deadshot says "Lets go save the world" with Flagg right next to him, standing by a fire. Harley shooting some guns, Deadshot shooting, Captain Boomerang attacks a monster (helpers of Enchantress once she turns). Croc slams a monster to the ground.

No no no no no

Harley blows hair from her face, in that sexy way girls do. Joker is wearing a gold jacket and slaps some guy in the face, and says "I can't wait to show you my toys."

Mamma Mia, Mamma Mia

(There are a bunch of quick cuts here) Deadshot attacking, Joker laughing with what looks like a gun in his hand, Joker pulling on a light, Joker driving in his car (like comic con footage), Joker laying on the ground around HUNDREDS of knives and guns and other sorts of weapons. A big explosion, Deadshot loading clips and takes aim, Diablo yelling, the pace slows down as we see Captain Boomerang open a can of beer and take a drink, Katana's eyes turn completely black, Harley dancing sexy in a club, helicopters shooting

(Then the screen goes black with the following words, in Suicide Squad font)

WORST

Military guys fist bumping

HEROES

Incubus destroys subway train (he is a character that Enchantress creates, and is completely CG)

EVER

(Queen) So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye

(more quick cuts) Joker pulls a gun on a guy, which a henchman behind him. Croc grabs Katana. Normal looking Harley (before transformation) slams arms down on a table. Big fight in the street at night. Enchantress before her change. More quick cuts of all the characters. A topless Joker diving into a chemical tank. Joker pulling Harley out of chemical tank.

Oooooh baby

More quick cuts of characters. Harley jumps to a rope. Harley smashes the window of a department store at night, startling the group. She walks into display and pulls out a bag/purse. Flagg "Seriously, the hell is wrong with you people?" Harley puts on purse and rolls her eyes. "We're bad guys. It's what we do."

Nothing really matters

Suicide Squad logo

To me...





That sounds really incredible and I can't wait to see it. The trailer and movie both, it all sounds incredible.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Joker and Harley, seriously, what more reason does anyone need to see this thing? :tlol:

If that description is at all accurate it sounds amazing.

I don't know who's in charge of the marketing for this film, and is overseeing the editing of the trailers, but the use of the source music in the teaser and (presumably) this upcoming trailer is a genius.

[Leo656]

I............................................ agree. :)

New trailer is released on 1/19

It’s a full night of action from DC Comics on Tuesday, January 19, 2016, as The CW presents two all-new half-hour specials, DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: THEIR TIME IS NOW (9:00-9:30pm ET/PT), and DC FILMS PRESENTS: DAWN OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE (9:30-10:00pm ET/PT), which features the world premiere of the new trailer for the upcoming feature film “Suicide Squad.” The specials will premiere following an original episode of THE FLASH (8:00-9:00pm ET/PT).

DC FILMS PRESENTS: DAWN OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE invites viewers behind the scenes of the exciting new movies coming out of the DC Films universe, culminating in the thrilling world premiere of the all-new trailer for “Suicide Squad,” DC’s misfit crew of antiheroes forced into saving the world this summer, with director David Ayer. Hosted by filmmaker/writer/lifelong comics fan Kevin Smith, with special guest DC Entertainment’s Geoff Johns, the special showcases the explosive landscape of DC’s greatest heroes, kicking off with “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” in theatres this March, and with a sneak peek from the upcoming Wonder Woman feature film.

Get a look at never-before-seen footage, and see interviews with such stars as Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot, and directors Zack Snyder and Patty Jenkins—just a few of the creative forces behind the much-anticipated film franchise that will bring together the greatest collective of Super Heroes in the upcoming Justice League feature film. And because no Super Hero could make his or her mark without a truly formidable foe, the special also provides glimpses of DC’s most famous Super Villains.

But I want it nowwwww. :ohwell: But that's really good too, I guess.

The trailer's debut coming so soon explains how someone was able to leak that description of it, since it's must be more or less finished. Lookin' forward to it.

[ToTheNines]

Sounds like a really cool use of Queen, can't wait.

Final trailer must be set to "Chop Suey" by System. :P

Nah. It has to be Sound of Silence. It works well with Bat Rouges.

I am mostly looking forward to seeing the big screen debuts of both Killer Croc and Deadshot. Two villains yet to appear in movie.

F*cking NICE.

USA Today has a great article about both Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2016/01/10/batman-v-superman-suicide-squad-2016-superhero-movies/78249180/

It's starting to seem that Batman's scene in "Suicide Squad" is more than just a tiny cameo, and more than just a link to tie the two films together, as well.

When you have Batman’s archnemesis, the hero himself can’t be far behind, and one of Ayer’s favorite days was filming Affleck’s part in Suicide Squad. “We made him fight,” the director says with a laugh. “He’s awesome (as Batman). ... You really sense that but for the grace of God he himself would be doing some really foul stuff out in the world.”

Affleck says he’s “bound by nondisclosure clauses a mile long” but is willing to spill the news that Suicide Squad is bound to blow people away. “It felt like I have such a cool cousin. This thing that is so awesome is somehow related to me, and that was really exciting because it started to feel like a constellation of things, and I’ve never had that feeling.”

As someone whose never been a DC fan, I can't wait to see this.

[Leo656]

As a much bigger fan than most - AND a much bigger cynic than most - I share your enthusiasm. :)

Upon the announcement, I did not like the idea, but everything I've seen of the execution has been terrific. They earned my interest, attention, and excitement in rapid succession, to say the least. It's gonna be really, really good.

Everything so far, plus the recent Wonder Woman and Green Lantern news, has me really excited for the future. The USA Today article quotes a couple analysts as saying the entire DCU film project could end up being the "edgier alternative" to the MCU, and a way to grow and expand on the successful-but-stagnant super-hero film genre, and I can't help but agree. Partly because I've been saying it for two years but also because it's true. :trazz:

Good stuff to come. Can't wait.

I'm hearing so many amazing things about Robbie's Harley Quinn and Leto's Joker, and am just really impatient to see more.

[Powder]

Honestly, Margot Robbie's overall appearance is what initially sold me. Even if it's not really a great look for the iconic Harley Quinn, per se, it's a great design in general, to me. While I'm with the camp that Joker's tattoos & pimp attire is corny, I love his style otherwise. It's very raw. The silver teeth are so dope. Not big on how the lizard dude was done, but yeah, everyone else looks pretty damn rad & the tone of the film seems killer. That's what you want out of a gritty comic book- a gritty movie. At least some creative teams can get that right, if only on the surface.

Leto won't have any tattoos as The Joker. It was a promotional image supposedly not connected to his actual appearance in the movie.

I for one am interested in seeing how Seadshot and Killer Croc have yet to see thrm in film. Maybe it could open the door for other villains we have not seen yet. Joker and Harley are a bonus.

[Powder]

He's covered in tattoos in the trailer, & that article's quite old so...

[Leo656]

In several trailer scenes he clearly has tattoos. That's been a non-issue for a while. Some people can't get over it, other people can. It's like Toon Link and Wind Waker: Let it bother some people; fine, they're just gonna miss out on something awesome for a silly, superficial reason. It's like they're going for a more "punk"-style Joker and Harley, and that's fine. It's more contemporary than most takes but that's hardly against the rules. The behavior of the characters brought to life through the performance of the actors is what's important, and everyone in the movie seems like their performance is strong and that they understand the characters.

There's people crying that Harley literally isn't wearing a goddamn jester costume, in a live-action movie, and I kinda wanna hit THOSE people with a giant hammer. :trazz:

Croc still looks like Croc to me, man. More the 80s version than the later one that literally just turned into a more feral Leatherhead, but I liked the original one better, anyway. He's supposed to be just a guy with a weird-looking disease, and he definitely looks "weird". I like it. I'unno what I thought they'd do but I think what they've done is fine. I'm just glad he's not just some full-CGI cartoon.

I did not notice any tattoos in the trailer since he has the classic purple suit on. I don't like the idea of the tattoos, but I want Leto to be set apart from Ledger and still come off as effective. Make it can be overlooked.

I don't care if its classic Harley Quinn or New 52/ Arkham video game series neo-punk look. Harley to me is an extension of the Joker not a separate villain.

Agreed about Killer Croc.

I am curious about how Deadshot will be portrayed. Anti-hero? Contracted assassin with a resume of kills? A killer in it for a big paycheck? I do think this movie will prove successful and it does not need Batman for that.

I have no problem with that approach whatsoever, or tattoos in general, it's just that they're like... well, they seem as if they were thought up by people who have no idea what tattoo culture is really like. They're very generic "edgy" pieces. Sorta how tribal tattoos have become the trilby of skin-art, skulls, Hot Topic tier goth terms/phrases aren't far behind. :tlol: Some of 'em are alright though, & it's not gonna ruin the movie for me by any stretch of the imagination. It's just a minor detail I'd have preferred not be included (moreso for Joker than Harley).

Maybe it doesn't need him but I'm sure glad he's in it, and not just in a post-credits stinger or a throwaway cameo. Those were neat ways for Marvel to "connect" their films but the novelty's worn off, and I'm glad that the links between the DC movies are going to be more substantial.

Some people aren't crazy about Deadshot, or specifically Will Smith as Deadshot, but if that gets the movie made then whatever. Deadshot's never been a huge deal to me. They probably had a hard time getting the movie made without a "name" attached to it so they got Smith. It's whatever. I have no problem with what I've seen but he's not the main reason I want to see it anyway.

Since they've been so open about the Batman cameo, it makes me wonder if they might have a Top Secret Flash cameo or reference or something, since Captain Boomerang is in it and all. I can hope! :trazz:

It’s not so much it's Deadshot, but I am a fan of the Bat Rouges and any chance for one who has yet to appear I am all for it. Also, seeing a few given another film appearance to make up for a past misfire imho as opinions differ.

By Affleck's Batman not needing to appear, I am definitely not against it. I am just stating the film looks strong by itself without the Batman crutch DC leans on sometimes and Assault on Arkham is one of those examples instead of calling it Suicide Squad, a less marketable name.

I am not a fan of Captain Boomerang, but I have wondered a wider role for Boomer's colleagues. Flash's foes seem to be able to legitimately work together more than any other rouges gallery even if only a faction within it. If we don't see any caneoes there will likely be references to Captain Cold or another of Harkness's fellow Flash foes.

I was very interested in a SS movie until I saw Harley Quinn in it and to me that wasn't going to be the classic SS I knew and loved. But the SDCC trailer won me over, this is one of the movies I'm most excited for this year, I think more than BvS. I hope Joker isn't in it too much but I think he will take a a big chunk of the movie sadly. I don't like his tattoos but didn't mind them in the trailer and he seemed like a good joker so it didn't distract; I'm also not a big fan of the scars joker had in TDK and it didn't distract form the movie either.

God DAMN does this look good. Mmmph.

Felt that trailer was a ripoff of the original GOTG trailer. Bohemian Rhapsody was too much of a distraction too.

[MikeandRaph87]

Here is the official second trailer.

[sdp]

Yeah the trailer reeked of GotG and too much Joker but the movie still looks good. SDCC trailer was definitely better though. I'm still pretty excited for this movie, unlike the last BvS trailer which got me to stop being excited for it.

[Leo656]

F*cking PERFECT. Holy sh*t, they nailed it so goddamn hard with that. They weren't kidding about Leto's Joker, either, that dude is twisted as F*CK. Tattoos aside, it's completely the Joker from the comic books. FINALLY. Loved seeing all his different outfits and looks. Everything was great but he was by far my favorite part. I can't wait to see this goddamn thing already.

I've been saying since the beginning, it's the performances that are going to carry the DC films beyond any "controversial" decisions they've made regarding style, casting, or tone, and this trailer pretty much proves that. It looks so goddamn GOOD.

Gonna be a long wait 'til August. :ohwell: But on the bright side, this year is like Christmas Every Month as far as movies, and especially super-hero movies, ALL of which look really good. :tgrin::tgrin::tgrin: Hard to complain when we're being spoiled with riches!

I went from not caring a year ago to "TAKE MY MONEY NOW!" and it didn't take a whole lot. Well played, clerks. :trazz:

[Autbot_Benz]

That was Amazing. I am more excited for that than Batman V Superman

[plastroncafe]

Even I, the resident DC Naysayer, thinks that new trailer looks way promising.
