Seriously, I can almost feel the rage of Ahasverus building and slowly but surely losing it.

It helps.

Yep, he doesn't appear in the movie at all, it's only the stunt double, always covered and/or shot from behind. The Bruce Wayne scenes were cut.

Good. We really don't need Bruce Wayne in this movie at all. Batman is all that should actually be in it. Anything to make the DCEU less of a Batman and Friends franchise is good by me.

To be fair to we really need to see Bruce Wayne in this movie?

Where did you hear they were cut? First I'm hearing about this and I'm like a crack addict.

Except sometimes things are written for a reason, and Ayer himself wrote the movie so let's all pray they didn't cut important stuff as in BvS

 

[Boke1879]

So what is making people freak out. What makes this movie supposedly bad? Are we basing this off tweets?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Bruce Wayne scenes? Seem pretty unnecessary (unless it's a scene like Harley's Holiday).

I was hoping to see Affleck in the batsuit.

SHH

 

[Ross61]

If they cut out some Batman/Bruce Wayne and Joker scenes to focus more on the Squad I personally don't see it as negative.

In essence, yes.

OOOOH! That's okay then. I thought they cut the Batman scenes.

 

[WhiteWolf]

Affleck isn't in it? Damn, I wanted a scene where Batman confronted Waller :/

 

[Smokey_Run]

SHH

And where did they hear it? Cause some of those posters get fooled by the dumbest sources.

 

[Boke1879]

In essence, yes.

It's amazing how we automatically gravitate towards the negative and believe it. Now I'm not saying we shouldn't be cautious but lets wait for reviews. When do those drop btw?

It's just like taking all positive tweets about a movie and treating it like gospel. Hell maybe this will keep everyone's expectations in check.

 

[bryanee]

I didn't even know Bruce Wayne was supposed to be in it. I always assumed it was just Batman. I'm not sure how Bruce would even fit into the story.

I heard the Waller and Bruce scene was pretty badass. I really do hope that one isn't cut.

Embargo ends Tuesday.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

It's not Affleck in the suit here is it? Doesn't look like him. Distinct lack of Bat chin.

 

[Bleepey]

Wanted to add an impression I heard regarding Suicide Squad.
Was listening to the latest Fatman on Batman and Kevin Smith made it clear that Marc Bernadin had seen the film. They made some jokes about how he "could not confirm or deny." And then Kevin said he had "another friend" who had seen it (again, he was clearly talking about Marc).
Not a ton to go off of, but Kev mentioned that his "friend" had told him that Batman was used liberally, in three different sequences. Also, that the movie's intro was "spellbinding."
Marc added that he was "very excited" to see the movie.
I should make this clear, I'm typing this from memory, but it's a good summary. I don't have a specific time stamp, I believe it was 20 minutes or so into the latest episode.
Marc's a fairly trustworthy source and, though had a couple nice things to say about BvS, was mostly negative about it.

time stamp?

 

[broncobuster]

Anonymous Twitter person said Affleck didn't want to be part of another mess this year and requested to be cut. It's also why the reshoot a happened. His scenes were swapped for Rope Guy flashbacks.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I heard they cut Harley entirely. Happend about 48 hours ago, some guy from WB showed up and started mutilating film reels with a set of gardening shears. It's something I heard from my cousin's uncle's brother's nephew's dentist's roommate's mistress's cat tho, so grain of salt and all that.

 

[jrush64]

It's a lot easier to predict doom and gloom considering BvS reception. Reading SHH, they say its not bad but it won't do well with the critics.

Nah, that's not how Affleck makes his grrr face.

Lol. So ridiculous that I almost believe it.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Ben was spotted outside of his trailer in Toronto in a suit when he flew in for a few days to do his scenes. Which is exactly why I don't think they'd be cut, because otherwise they completely wasted Affleck's time. Add on one of the few things most people liked about BvS was Affleck, I find it hard they'd just up and cut his scenes.

I almost believe you.

 

[IconGrist]

I almost believe you.

It would've been perfectly believable but went too far with the Rope Guy flashbacks.

Sometimes things get written for a reason but then end up not being worth it. Usually you don't cut something because you think it's good. You cut it because you don't think the film actually needs it.

Does he mean it's a "home run?"

Or does he actually mean "run home, as quickly and as far from the movie theatre as you can, because all hope is lost?"

Just something to think about.

Embargo drops on Tuesday, I think.

Which, by the way, is something else people are shitting themselves over. "The embargo's too late!11! WB has no confidence!!11!1"

 

[IconGrist]

Fixed.

Suicide Squad |OT| Now with less DAMAGED

Refixed for accuracy

 

[iamalegionnaire]

time stamp?

27:20

 

[strafer]

If the movie is good a certain someone should get a DAMAGED Member tag.

 

[J_Viper]

If Wayne's scenes are actually cut, I'll be disappointed. Affleck is the DCEU now.

And I'll say again, If there isn't a single scene between Affleck and Leto, this movie belongs in the trash.

Ha, found one of my favorite gifs from one of the old MOS trailer threads:

Motherfuckers I've been saying he'd make a kick-ass Ollie Queen for like a year now and you just got me all excited.

These are always good.

Dude doesn't look like superman. He looks like an Italian mobster in a Halloween costume.

 

[Lord Virgin]

don't like it. Cavill looks very average looking too.

How is this guy still not banned.

Yeah, I really liked it, very underrated. Some of the Alan Moore Green Lantern stories are adapted as flashbacks. It follows the Animatrix / Gotham Knights format but the animation is of lower quality.
