Looks shite especially Joker and Will Smith both look out of place so far. Margot is the only good thing going for this movie.
Film Suicide Squad (2016)
- Thread starter okLaptop1
- Start date
Must be a bit part role than as he doesn't seem to be listed in the cast.
Probably a brief scene or flashback showing Joker getting caught
Feck me, I'm excited for this.
Yeah, seems its going to be something like that.
Reason enough to watch it
It's looking a lot like Assault on Arkham imo
Harley Quinn looks like she's going to be amazing. Can't wait!
I liked that animated movie, wouldn't mind if this was pretty much a live action version. Although if that were the case, I'd hope that Ayer tones down Batman's presence considerably, or does it away with it altogether.
Will Smith is the only piece of the ensemble I'm not 100% sold on, but the trailer has got me pretty hyped for Leto and Robbie as Joker and Harley.
And I'm still hoping that Cara Delevingne's Enchantress looks better on screen than she did in that group pic that was released a while back.
I'll put this in spoiler tags in case anyone hasn't seen AoA
I've been thinking it's going to basically be AoA but without the Riddler part of the story. Suicide Squad to find and disarm the dirty bomb (probably not in Arkham), the fact it's Joker's doing is held back from the team and it all goes tits up when that's realised etc. Doubt it'll be that closely related but replace the dirty bomb with a different task and the plotline will be similar enough
Those were my thoughts when the film and casting was initially announced.
Cheesy and shit dialogue, not overly convincing acting......could be an awesome b-movie comic film as long as it doesn't go all serious at some point
Most places seem to be completely missing the Joker being in the middle of the trailer too

Yeah, the fact that Joker is in it leads me to think it'll be a similar story arc too. One difference to the structure could be various flashbacks of each Suicide Squad member, to flesh them out more. We see Cara Delevingne without all Enchantress makeup and costume, as well as Harleen Quinzel and Floyd Lawton in civvies right.
One thing I liked about Assault On Arkham was that they weren't all chummy pals at the end, or a family or whatever. Villains can have depth and still stay villains. I hope they don't feel the need for face turns just because there's a bigger heel.
EDIT: wrote Attack On Arkham before. too much Shingeki No Kyojin for me.

I don't see the Joker being in this film much to be honest. He isn't part of the suicide squad, so I can just see him building up Harley Quinn's story, and will become more prominent in future films.
With Ben Affleck saying he wants to do a standalone batman film (which I very skeptical about considering it is so soon after the successes of Nolan's work), then I can see him featuring in that.
I know the Justice League will be done, but not so good with the comics, so would anyone who is good say if this is they what they are aiming for:
-Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman and Aquaman plus other superheroes (Ant-Man?) to form the justice league
-Suicide squad to play a part in the film too? With the Joker.
An explanation in spoiler would be great as to what you think/ know the format will be.

Basically agree with all that, yeah. I'm skeptical of Smith as Deadshot but that's balanced out by my childlike excitement for crazy Joker so overall I'm definitely looking forward to this.
The Joker will be a big part of the move. WB and Ayer are treating Leto like he's got top billing, and not Smith or Robbie. Plus, even though he's not in the Squad, he'll probably function an adversary or a third party with his own motivations, à la Assault On Arkham.
And the last Nolan movie was 2012, and the soonest the Affleck Batman solo movie could be is 2017, so that's enough time for sure right.
As for The Justice League, it's building up with Batman v Superman to introduce Wonder Woman and Aquaman (in a small role, or maybe even just a cameo), then a Wonder Woman solo film, then Justice League Part 1. By then I'm assuming Cyborg and The Flash will have been shown, and now a part of the team. The Suicide Squad members will probably barely feature in Justice League movies right. You're confusing DC with Marvel by the way; Ant Man isn't in his universe. He's with Captain America and Iron Man etc, different world.
Nice healthy relationship there.
Take it that'll be her transformation from Dr. Harleen Quinzel to Harley Quinn.
Nice healthy relationship there.
The trailer is weak.
Thought so too... Will freaking Smith looks completely out of place. He just doesn't have a lot in his locker at all.
This is coming form a DC fan. Marvel with their over comedic and ironic way of approaching things have annoyed the shit out of me for way too long.
Yep, or a part of it at least. I'm pretty stoked that they aren't shying away from the abusive aspect of their relationship, really adds shades to this version of The Joker that other versions in cinema haven't had.
Think Flash will get its own movie too (and is going to be part of Batman vs Superman I believe). I think DC are taking the approach where they introduce the characters in the big stories (and then they all have their own movies)
Only thing I didnt like about Will Smith in the trailer was him saying "lets go save the world" like it was independence day haha.

I'm skeptical of anyone who think's Ant-Man is a part of the Justice League. Screams "Nolan Bandwagoner" to me, and those are a breed who actually don't know much about what goes on in the source material.
As far as teaser trailers go I think that was excellent and it's created quite a buzz so it's certainly done it's job.

There's actually a front view of Batman in the trailer, looking at Affleck's suit it's obvious Suicide Squad had a smaller budget
The batman mask was the highlight for me. It's hard to get really excited just from the trailer but it wasn't bad except the Joker car which looked incredibly shit.
Or its a villain pretending to be Batman?!There's actually a front view of Batman in the trailer, looking at Affleck's suit it's obvious Suicide Squad had a smaller budget
I think you missed his joke.
...you trolling bruh?
Ant man doesnt deserve to be even near the justice league. Am hoping they keep the original six.
Superman
Batman
Flash
Green Lantern
Hawk Woman
That Alien dude whose name I can never remember, going with The Martian
(And yes I know aqua man was part of the group in the comics)

Nah, I got his joke. I tried to make him facepalm by going the serious route with the ?! included. :P
Also are people confusing Ant Man and The Atom? Or am I really missing a joke there?
Close, it's Martian Manhunter. And I doubt he'll be in the Justice League, not in the next 5 years anyway. Which sucks, I'd way rather have him than freaking Shazam.
Seriously! Shazam fecking sucks. No idea why they went for him over martian manhunter.
Does everybody hate Shazam? 
Havent read one good thing about Shazam.

Isn't The Rock meant to be playing Shazam or have I totally made that up?

The Rock is playing Black Adam, Shazam's main villain, and an actually interesting character.
Ahhh got you now! I remember The Rock said he'd be playing a DC character and the initial rumour was Shazam before it turned out to be Black Adam evidently.
Yeah, he probably read about Shazam and hated it as much as all of you haha

shows my knowledge. Someone told me he was, bet the bastard was playing a trick!
