The Suicide Squad Film Follies

finally a comic book movie that proves they're not just for kids

hollywood: please stop gary jules-ing all the songs

Will this one finally reveal how Batman became Batman? Or how Superman became Batman? Or how Batman became Spiderman?

"we're some kind of suicide squad cross-leveraged corporate intellectual property clusterfuck"

Somehow doesn't look as bad as the action sequences in Batman v Superman

realllly curious how this has been budgeted - and projected to be rated

cuz if it's rated R and north of 100m it has to do as well as Mad Max Fury Road to be any kind of hit

i'll see it, but i also saw jonah hex

DC is in serious self clowning mode (pun intended)

still amazed how much they've banked on Batman v Supes being adored. They're going to from making a DC supermovie a year - only the batmans connected, because only the batmans were big, to a series of super-connected films once every six months or so.

holy shit that looks great doesn't it?? i wish it was like.. X rated.

wat

DC is in serious self clowning mode (pun intended)

The Po-Faced Absurdity of DC Comics (picture thread)

snyder sure loves his dour serious trailers doesnt he

i dunno looks silly and fun and will smith will be in charm mode and adewale akinnuoye-agbaje will be in, uh, a lot of makeup

bring on the r-rated funnybook flix imo

Task Force X-Rated, mor lik

Still, am far, FAR more interested in this than any BvS/JLA flick, due to the Ostrander/Yale years making the comic one of the most compelling/progressive titles on the Big Two's rosters during the Bronze/Chromium Age

If they can get the Waller/Deadshot/Boomerang interchange working, then I'm happy. If they can get a proper Waller/Batman interaction working, I'll be ecstatic.

yeah, the ostrander/yale years are some of my favourite superhero comics ever, but i dunno if the snyderverse is really built to support the delicate moral shading that made those books so great. i'd love to be proved wrong tho!

Meh... only thing that trailer made me do is wonder if I should play the latest Batman videogame Arkham City was dope.

Nice asylum normcore sweatpants there.

I hope they say I ❤️ JOKES on the butt

how are they getting the feel of the marketing for this so completely wrong

"There was definitely a period of...detachment," Leto explains. "I took a pretty deep dive. But this was a unique opportunity and I couldn't imagine doing it another way. It was fun, playing those psychological games. But at the same time it was very painful, like giving birth out of my prick hole."

yes, just like that

was at an anime convention a few months ago and like every fifth girl was harley. buncha nerdlingers tho iirc

there was a ton of them in nyc for comiccon. basically two at every subway stop.

At NYCC I noticed that the ration was like 2.5:1 canon harley : margot robbie harley but i was only there one day!

was that way at Dragon Con

Current comic Harley Quinn is awful (look, boobs!) but since she's the only DC character aside from Batman that sells they're giving her two more series.

Stats need further breaking down to account for Arkham Harley.

(bah, from the videogames (I'm aware that this clarification is not making me look any less sweaty-palmed))

just looking at the still i'm picturing a Galaxy Quest type scenario featuring a bunch of cosplayers abducted from San Diego Comic-Con. does the trailer support that?

having watched the trailer, this looks like so much garbage with so many name actors

This didn't come out like 5 months ago? I figured it would be on DVD by now.

it looks like it could be from those comic book TV shows that i don't watch.

Cringed at Queen. But. It looks different from Marvel movies so it automatically feels fresh in the superhero world. Even if it's bad, it's doing something.

it's made my daughter ask me who Deadpool is

xp so are the bundy militia, but

This is the old DC film I'm interested in, mainly due to the comics. I'm curious how you take a framework set up by Ostrander et al, shit thru the Nu52 years, and then make a Snyder-era movie from it.

the trailer provides plenty of suggestion and "shit thru the Nu52 years" looks right on. hard to believe millar isn't involved somehow.

I can't see anything related to this without whispering.... Badguy Patrol

There was some DC special that I didn't watch after Flash last night where I guess they debuted this trailer. Which I'm sure made synergistic sense to some DC exec but to many fans of the WB shows, it was probably more like "Hey, remember some of these characters from the shows you enjoy? Well, here they are again except they're not actually the same characters as the ones on TV and they're being played by different people! Isn't that fun?"

Cringed at Queen. But. It looks different from Marvel movies so it automatically feels fresh in the superhero world. Even if it's bad, it's doing something.

So fresh, this shittified version of a comic from 1988.

Funny that a modern, knockoff version of this has already been running for three years now, to universal critical acclaim and sales of literally hundreds of copies an issue. Imagine Warners just hiring Fiffe.
