You are not the target demo.
What does this even mean?
It's only targeting people who want to have the current zeitgeist reflected in their superhero movies? Politics, senate hearings and the realistic (and grim) real life consequences of vigilantism and super heroes in our societies?
It should target an as broad as possible audience.
Save a baby out of burning building, let a weaker bad guy punch you in the face and say a witty oneliner. You know, the things heroes usually do. Heroic stuff.
Instead it is trying to lure people in with "iconic shots" and gravely voices, trying to deliver every line with such gravitas as if it were a Shakespear play. Our inherit reaction to this in a trailer is: "That looks awesome!" Because we asume the context for all this badass-ery will be given by the full movie.
I was fooled once, but not again.
The idea of retconning Superman's recklessness by creating a complete plotline of this oversight leaves me with extreme unease. Man of Steel doesn't work as a standalone movie and by trying to adress those glaring flaws in a sequel, it works even less than intended.
Suicide Squad though is just a cavalcade of throw-away characters few people care or know about to build acceptance for the lesser known villains of the DC Universe. Jared Leto as "new" Joker looks ridiculous but even ignoring him, or giving him the benefit of the doubt, I doubt that this poor-mans Guardians of the Galaxy will suceed.
It's sad to see DC fail so miserably delivering a solid movie for their tentpool characters.
