During an interview with Vanity Fair, How to Get Away With Murder star Viola Davis was also asked about Jared Leto’s bizarre behavior on the set of Suicide Squad.
“He did some bad things, Jared Leto did,” she said. “He gave some really horrific gifts. He had a henchman who would come into the rehearsal room, and the henchman came in with a dead pig and plopped it on the table, and then he walked out. And that was our introduction into Jared Leto.”

im sure the test screenings demand it as well.. these shitty blockbusters are all focus grouped to death.

that happens, big studio films have focus groups, modify plots to expand intended audiences, all kinds of shit
on one hand there are writers, a director, and actors making a theatrical production
on the other hand, it's a money-making exercise to maximize the number of people who attend, changing characters so they work better on t-shirts and as action figures

Spidey thoughtHey Amy - just a couple of rando thoughts from 35,000 LAX-JFK:- A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post “N.B.D.” on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the “humble brag”.....wondering if Spidey could get into that in some way....he’s super athletic, bendy, strong, intense....and it’s all NBD to him, of course.- EDM (electronic dance music) is the defining music for Millennials. Wondering if there’s an EDM angle somewhere with Spidey? His movements are beautiful, would be awesome with a killer DJ behind it- Snapchat just launched a “story” functionality, which is sort of “day in the life of me” told in a series of snapchats that expire after 24 hours. It has a very VIP quality about it, since invitation only. Getting invited into Spidey’s Snapchat circle would be huge, and very buzzworthy and cool.

clicked bcz of kingfish. That shirt is such a horrendous mishmash of clashing Fraga lines and incoherent design it would be impossible to tell what it was depicting more than a foot away.
remember the elegant clarity of the covers for Deadshot's SS-era mini? cranked out by some inhouse schlub. people presumably got commissioned to design these things.

Akinnuoye-Agbaje told PEOPLE at the event that Leto's antics helped the rest of the cast form a tighter bond. "What was great was it really created the atmosphere of us against them, and it united us against them because we had a common enemy, which was now the Joker," he said. "If I tell you some of the stuff he sent me, you'd be like, 'What is in this guys mind?' " he added of Leto's special gifts. "I got used condoms, I got all kinds of stuff and I was like, this is no longer a joke, this is personal."

Can't remember where we discussed Harley Quinn's new design, it's about 5 years old now. Did it come from a Batman videogame? Maybe this is a crazy idea but I can't help but suspect they changed it to make her easier to cosplay as.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 14 April 2016 10:18 (eight years ago) link
used... condoms? ffs
dear boy, why not try acting?
― a lad of balls (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 14 April 2016 10:28 (eight years ago) link
I dunno, the 'new design' is basically just "1) It isn't the one-piece from the animated show 2) It is still in black and red 3) Other than that, go nuts". But this doesn't even hit #2: all of the shots I've seen of Margot Robbie are in red white and blue.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 14 April 2016 10:35 (eight years ago) link
i mean i think the real answer as to why they changed the design is 'tits', pure and simple
― a lad of balls (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 14 April 2016 10:45 (eight years ago) link
More 'skin', I'd say - image google Harley Quinn costume and see how it was drawn when not on the animated series, 'tits' is not not a factor there.

c'mon, are you telling me 'tits' is not a motivating factor in this redesign?

― a lad of balls (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 14 April 2016 11:02 (eight years ago) link
I'm saying, it doesn't make a lot of sense to describe that as a redesign - Harley didn't look like that in the actual comic, or in the games since or before, or in the Connor / Palmiotti comic. 'more skin' is the common factor in all those depictions (though obviously anything is more skin than the original).
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 14 April 2016 11:09 (eight years ago) link
i don't think i'm following you here - harley quinn had a 38-issue solo series where she wore the animated series-derived costume then (iirc) the new 52 suicide squad series gave her the tits-centric makeover

― a lad of balls (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 14 April 2016 11:54 (eight years ago) link
Didn't that new design originally come from some Batman video game?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 14 April 2016 11:58 (eight years ago) link
Anyway, Andrew's point was that the old comic book Harley's Quinn's skintight costume, like most superheroine costumes, emphasized her tits well enough. The new costume shows more skin, but the shape of the boobs was already draw in detail in the old costume too, as the cover you posted shows.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 14 April 2016 12:01 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, my bad, the 'actual comic' I meant there was New Suicide Squad, which the "tits falling out" cover is not representative of iirc (not that NSS was a bold step forward or anything). But it's one cover in one comic in a vast range of stuff which is basically "Harley's not wearing the one-piece any more" so I'm not sure it makes sense as a "this is what the redesign was about".
NB I am really really not defending basically anything here except maybe the Connor / Palmiotti, one-piece 4 lyfe.
