""Warner Bros. Pictures and our anti-piracy team have worked tirelessly over the last 48 hours to contain the Suicide Squad footage that was pirated from Hall H on Saturday. We have been unable to achieve that goal. Today we will release the same footage that has been illegally circulating on the web, in the form it was created and high quality with which it was intended to be enjoyed. We regret this decision as it was our intention to keep the footage as a unique experience for the Comic Con crowd, but we cannot continue to allow the film to be represented by the poor quality of the pirated footage stolen from our presentation."
- Sue Kroll, President Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures"

So this quote really got me: This is a professionally produced (and hype as hell) trailer that they intended to only distribute to a fraction of their intended audience. What's the point in showing it if it's going to be so exclusive? Maybe if they stated it'll be a "timed" exclusive just for the audience and be publicly release days later it might deter people from recording it, but that's a poorly worded statement IMO.

I disagree. Nothing about this trailer feels like it was intended to be shown to general audiences. Basically no context or introduction for any characters and overall a pretty tame sequence of shots devoid of much action or dialogue. It definitely feels like a "preview"
 
Sequenced the torture scene:

Damn.
 
Does Smith play a badguy turn good or something? Or a good guy wrongly convicted?

Arrow (the WB tv show)'s take on Deadshot was man who couldn't adjust to postwar life and views mercenary work as his way to provide for his daughter. I think the movie will have a similar take.
 
Hopefully Boomerang gets killed off. Shit character, even shitter actor. Be interesting to see who gets killed off and who remains, and whether or not they go for a slimmer squad in the future. Gonna need some padding in this film to get rekt by Joker right...
Carbo, pls. Slipknot and Diablo are dead men walking.
 
Nothing about the behind the scenes stuff, casting or tone of this had me interested before the trailer. Watching it makes it clear that this is basically just a Harley Quinn and Joker movie; and that's pretty much the last thing I want to watch DC do, so I guess I'm out on this one.

Hopefully it's more Suicide Squad and less Joker's shitty satellite character and her friends with little screentime in the final cut.
 
Where is she getting makeup and hair dye from? Isn't she in solitary lock down?

That's while she's on mission and not still in lockdown and they get to wear what they'd like I guess since it adds to the "deniability" aspect of the squad. "It's not weird to see costumed villains causing trouble. That's just Gotham's everyday after all."
 
The first trailer for Batman v Superman did nothing to excite me about the film, and this is the same. If however they release a follow up trailer as good as the 2nd Bat vs Supes - they will firmly have my interest.

I desperately want DC to live up to their cinematic potential outside of Batman.
 
Ah, I didn't realize that was her. I've only seen the potato quality trailer since this dropped while at work.

Also, I think Joker's look would be perfect if he had fucked up rotted teeth.
He already looks like he's rotting, man. The only other Joker as disgusting as this was Death in the Family for me.

Finally.
 
I gotta say Jared Leto needs to stop drinking from the Fountain of Youth, it's hard to believe he's a Joker who probably fought with Batman for at least a decade.
 
Unconfirmed that's Deathstroke, but it's totally Joker in the Batman mask, which is fan-fucking-tastic to me.

Actually, you saying that made me look around.

Jim Parrick is listed on IMDB as playing Johnny Frost in the movie. Johnny Frost is a thug/chauffeur from the Joker graphic novel. Judging by the shot of them both, he's dressed like one and it looks like he's showing Joker around.
 
Not feeling the Margot hype at all. She looks like she's trying way too hard.

And Leto's Joker continues to look like shitty cosplay. Doesn't help that he is about as imposing as a tomato.
