What's recent times? I think that both Harley and Deadpool hit critical mass in the past decade.

I won't accept the movie Killer Croc until he throws a rock at Batman. A really big rock.

The real question is what happens to WW if this movie under-performs critically and commercially.
I hope that it's good obviously, but if it's not it's hard to figure out how WB keeps screwing things up. Make a movie based on character people like, hire a good director in Ayer and still manage to drop the ball.

Harley has been big since BTAS, as has Deadpool for years. To me, Deadshot was a nobody supervillain that I used to confuse for Deathstroke. Now he's played by Will Smith and is one of the movie's leads.
Note that I'm not correlating it to any potential popularity.

Ayer made the movie he wanted to make: written it, directed it and had creative control over the final product. This one isn't on WB.

What screening? Fan screenings start Monday.
If this leaves audiences underwhelmed again then that will have to hurt Wonder Woman and JL. This is probably somewhat safe from a backlash against BvS as the characters and tone are so different, but eventually people are going to learn to stay away from DC movies if they keep dropping the ball (as much as it pains me to say that as I love DC).
Tarzan is working its way up to being their second biggest film of the year after BvS (prior to Suicide Squad).

It's basically the same ol' irrelevant positive tweets versus gospel negative tweets you see. No one "major" has said anything one way or the other because they actually do their job and abide by the embargo.
What did he mean by this?

My friend Gary Jackson Jr., who lives in Philadelphia, PA at 248 Wickerbocker Ave (phone number and email available by PM for privacy sake), saw the movie at an advanced screening and he says it wasn't very good.
I know I can trust him because he saved my life from a runaway tramcar back in the day when he was my next door neighbor in the hood. The year was 2002 and I was 13 years old, he wasn't my best friend but since my mom was dating his uncle we saw each other a lot. To make a long story short, the dog was biting on my leg and Gary scared it away with a lighter and a can of afro-sheen.
Love you Jerry.

Good friend of mine who works at Pixar and got a chance to see it said it's great. Keep in mind I heard this from his wife, who I'm sleeping with. Only reason she knew was because she went through his phone and read some texts between him and some girl he met on Tinder. Apparently, the girl works for WB and got him in for a screening. Keep in mind this is all hearsay.

Well, just to give you guys some hope: Marc Bernardin (from Fatman on Batman) and McWeeny seem to be positive. And they were the ones saying they didn't hear good things from the BvS screenings.
But now to crush that hope: It's DC and not Nolan sooooo, expect a 40% on RT. Which means MoS still the best movie in the DCEU so far if we look at RT. It's like poetry.

Yeah well my uncle who works at both Blizzard and Nintendo got to be a producer on the movie and showed my cousin the movie the other day and they said it was the Dark Souls of Citizen Kane quality movies.
It's like you're angry at humor.

Keep in mind though, I'm Batman.

Is that too much to ask?

Marc Bernardin usually has good taste in these things and he loathed BvS, so he can certainly be critical of things. If he liked it then that is indeed a good sign.

Oh, he already saw the film?
BTAS is one of those things that would have been big to you if you were between 6 and 15 back in the early 90s, but Harley was largely ignored outside of that and related media until more recently. I wouldn't be surprised if the Arkham games had a larger role in her current popularity among those under 25. She sure looks a lot more like the Arkham version these days than the BTAS version.
Deadpool was a favourite among certain crowds since the Joe Kelly Days, but his popularity is now on Wolverine's level. Arguably even before the film.

pls stop
Preeeeetty sure that's not a thing?
Harley made the jump to the comics after she showed up on the show, and she's been building steam ever since; some of DC's top guys have called her their "fourth pillar," the other three being Superman, Batman, and Wondy. I'd say that that's mostly independent of the Arkham games, though you're right about her look.
Deadpool, tho, has been a juggernaut since the 90s. Man hit Wolvie tier in the aughts.

You mean For the Man who Has everything?
Funnily enough, there is probably like one director out there who would bring that onto the big screen.....
Feige's Top 5 is Batman and Robin, Thor 2, Iron Man 2, The 1989 Punisher, and The Phantom though...

lol whoops that typo
if Snyder brought FTMWHE on-screen, Supes' son would get brutally mutilated by a building during Krypton's implosion or something

No one needs to have "connections" to know this will be hot garbage. It's a David Ayer movie.

I like that the movie stars Deadshot but I don't like that the movie stars Will Smith.

But isn't Superman supposed to be smiling and happy with this life in that? That would never work.

Explains some stuff tbh
tbpf, FTMWHE is one of those stories that already HAS a perfect adaptation in the JL series; no need to do a whole live action movie around it.

I liked Bale going completely bonkers in Harsh Times and the director having no idea what to do with that so he just let all that shit in. And it's damn fun. Still, terrible movie.
