Suicide Squad - The movie

The color blue?

Trunks!  How embarrassing. 

[Shogunn2517]

Well, if he had trunks, then what would be preventing the joker from making a joke about......

................. Getting caught with his pants down.

Guys, can we set the Harley discussion aside and talk about the REAL travesty in costume here? Joker wearing the stupid white suit from tdkr. The Joker without color in his attire irritates the heck out of me.

In all honesty, I don't mind the white suit. It's a change of pace for the live action medium, it discourages Ledger comparisons (which I'm sure they want to do to begin with), and personally I really enjoyed Micheal Emerson's version of the character in the animated DKR, so I'm kinda pro-white suit at this point.

Not disagreeing with you on the importance of Joker's purple and green though, but here's a different point of view. While re-watching Fullmetal Alchemist, I read a comment from the creator re: a charismatic villain who wore a white suit. They said that there's something about a guy in a white suit that just makes him seem sleazy. I just thought that was a interesting way to look at it.

I also expect Joker will be in captivity for most of the movie, Hannibal Lector style, so it might make more sense then.

As for Batman, I think it's really cool that he's going to be in it. Reminds me of Assault on Arkham, and I imagine his presence will help sell movie tickets (and I also expect they'll make a point to show him in the trailers and tv spots. They did the same thing for Downey Jr. in Incredible Hulk)

Suicide Squad - Comic-Con First Look [HD]

[bat1987]

Still not sold on Will Smith as deadshot. Margot Robbie seems really good from what i can tell. Joker is creepy, def seems closer to comics in behaviour than DK version. Could have gone without the tattoos and those teeth thugh. All in all you don' get to see much, but I liked it.

Yeah.  You know I thought it could something that could be overlooked.  I mean we've hardly seen Deadshot  given that much character in life.  But everytime I hear his voice, see him hugging anyone(let alone a child), and hear "let's go save the world", I'm like WTH??  It's Will Smith and the Suicide Squad.  Not even Deadshot.  Will Smith and the Suicide Squad.  Will Smith isn't coming off as a criminal, a bad guy or killer.  He's... likable.  Will Smith is likable.  Never pictured Deadshot as likable.

[JeyNyce]

I really didn't consider Deadshot likable either until I saw Assault on Arkham.  He was a jerk, but he was a jerk with a kid and that kinda made him likable.

[HarryTrotter]

Deadshot is likable.Secret Six anyone?

[Silver Shocker]

There was also Christos Gage's Deadshot miniseries, which focused on his relationship with his daughter and her mother and made him more relatable.

Oh yeah,Bulletproof.Also,good.

On the topic of Will Smith, I'm not writing him just yet, but I (and a few others online) were kinda hoping he was going to be this intense, methodical sniper-type performance that you usually don't get to see in Smith's popcorn movies. But going off the trailer, it definitely seems like he's (to paraphrase Brian Clevinger) "The Fresh Prince in the Suicide Squad".  It does kinda seem like he's there to give this mild gamble of a DC movie the extra star power it might need (see also: Batfleck). I'll say this, he's got more presence than the guy from Arrow, but that's not saying a lot. Not a big fan of Micheal Rowe's Deadshot.

What do I think of the trailer? Why, other than Juggalo Joker's visual look, I really like it. I'm really biased toward Suicide Squad, but it seems like all the pieces are in place. Waller looks like she'll be awesome, Harley seems promising, I'm kinda dying to see that car chase scene as is in the final movie, and while Joker looks weird, the actor looks like he's going to give an intense performance. Jay Courtney as Captain Boomerang is exactly what I was expecting though, that is to say, he sucks.

I've actually been waiting on a trailer for this thing for what feels like a year now, and it didn't disappoint.

Will Smith is easily the biggest pitfall for me here. That whole "let's go save the world" line is just silly, and Will's delivery just makes him come off more as "Will Smith, the likable hero" rather than Deadshot. A friend of mine tried to say it's meant to be sarcastic, but no, that is EXACTLY how Smith is playing the character.

Everything else though? Pitch Perfect. Joker's attire could be better, but I like the performance, and Harley's pretty amazing as well.

[JeyNyce]

Will Smith's problem is that he's too likable, and a comes off as a nice guy/ pretty boy.  If Will try to be mean and a thug people would go"Aww ain't that sweet"

[BentonGrey]

Ehh, Harley seems TOO nuts to me.  She's Harley, not the Joker.  I agree about Smith, though.  He's wrong for Deadshot.

[BWPS]

I think Will Smith is going to be great. I mean Deadshot is usually a killer but never a mean-spirited one. He's a very charismatic guy. Will Smith is also pretty great in most of his movies even if he does come across as a good guy. Check out Secret Six if you haven't, it's a great comic book and it shows Deadshot at his best.

I have to ask:whats up with that?

Suicide Squad Poster Assembles the Whole Rotten Crew

[JeyNyce]

You notice how they all look like they are together except for Deadshot?  He has his back turned.  I wonder if this means anything?  We all know how he feels about the squad and stuff from the comics

Ok, that was awesome!

When I like trailers, the movie is terrible.

I liked that trailer. Woe! Woe and alas!

Apparently, the response to the humor in the trailers has sent the studio into a panic, spending millions to reshoot and add or change scenes.  Why?  Because apparently they contained every single joke in the entire movie, so it's actually not good if audience expect that kinds of humor in the movie.

We'll see how this turns out.

The response to Batman v. Superman is widely reported to be a factor as well.

Yes, that too.  Although as I've said, that reasoning is a bit silly since it's different material and can be a bit darker, but these people clearly don't really understand comic book audiences.

[BentonGrey]

*sigh*

You know, the Squad is grim at times and gritty at times, but it also has some good humor and some real human drama.  I couldn't expect something like that from these people, though.
