Is Katana performing seppuku in one of the shots?

Looks like it but the sword also seems sheathed as well. Like Blasian said, I'm hoping she doesn't die.

 

[Savitar]

Nice.

And Harley is going to be bigger than ever.

 

[Ridley327]

Is Katana performing seppuku in one of the shots?

It looks like the katana is still in its scabbard.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Is Katana performing seppuku in one of the shots?

doesn't look angled to be a seppoku, and I doubt they'd show that in the trailer. It looks like she's crying. Maybe she's just killed someone she wish she hadn't? Looks like she's putting her sword back in the scabbard.

They're... sigh... they're not... it's pointless arguing with you, I know, but Marvel's been anything but safe in the past 7 years. Are the movies narratively similar on a structural level? Sure. Doesn't stop them being tonally diverse and interesting to watch though.

They're not tonally diverse. Some are a little better than others, though. Marvel's played it safe. They need to do something different too. Not dark and twisted like this DC thing, but they really need to change things up a bit and allow the creators a bit more freedom.

Anyway, back on topic, there's a thin line between fun and chaotic looniness and calculated, pretentious edgy-bait.. so far this seems to do well, but it's all for naught if it simply ends in a big physical battle at the end to solve everything.

 

[ironcreed]

Fantastic as well.

 

[Error]

It is good. Then again it is Leto doing Ledger's Joker voice.

sounds absolutely nothing Ledger, what are you on about?

 

[Gaz_RB]

I liked Jai in Spartacus, but everyone here seems to hate him. I haven't seen him in anything else.

Ah, yeah, that's probably it. Thanks, all.

 

[BrassDragon]

I'm sorry, but every single line of dialogue in that trailer is just... flat and on-the-nose.

And presumably this was their pick of punchy one-liners for marketing purposes. People are jizzing themselves over the Joker for delivering that clunker of a line? Really? There is none of the Joker's wry humor or menace, it's just a typical sociopath thing to say. Where is this Joker..?

I like the cast but this trailer paints the movie as run-of-the-mill fan fiction. The screen writer's pedigree is not inspiring me with confidence either.

 

[Ridley327]

You would probably understand why everyone hates him, then!

He seems fine in this, and it's not like he's one of the leads.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Just from the trailer Margot's Harley Quinn seems like it might be the best version of her ever (obviously we'll have to see).

As someone who has never cared for the character, she already seems like the best version ever.

I liked Jai in Spartacus, but everyone here seems to hate him. I haven't seen him in anything else.

He is a pretty bad actor with the most generic face I've ever seen in a movie.

 

[Ganzlinger]

"Wow"

 

[Gonzalez]

Is Katana performing seppuku in one of the shots?

She probably killed a bunch of dudes in a last ditch effort before she croaks.

 

[ironcreed]

Its Will Smith. Hes going to have the lions share of the screen time.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Glad I waited for non-potato. Looks awesome. Glad to see DC's universe coming together.

 

[SaintR]

Surprised I'm saying this based on the initial impressions but.....I'm sorta lovin this trailer. The song and the editing just works. Well done, let's see it translate to the final product 🙏

 

[Fury451]

sounds absolutely nothing Ledger, what are you on about?

Laugh aside, it does quite a bit. It's so brief though, so you can't judge for sure.

 

[Krixeus]

Best character in the film

 

[ODDI]

Almost perfect just need a few more frames.

 

[Kacho]

Trailer did nothing for me. The music was so distracting and annoying. Harley seems well done but Leto joker seems boring and samey.

 

[jrush64]

Looks dope as I expected. We should get another trailer later explaining what the movie is actually going to be about.

This is like a teaser trailer or something?

 

[Rooster12]

This movie is gonna Will Smith + Batman vs Joker and Harley

Wow....

Just...wow

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

This movie is gonna Will Smith + Batman vs Joker and Harley

One of these things is not like the other.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Looks really cool. I'm on board with this version of the Joker. The lame pics that came out seem like a distant memory now after watching the 5-10 seconds he's in this trailer for. Stoked!!!

 

[Alienous]

This movie is gonna Will Smith + Batman vs Joker and Harley

Wow....

Just...wow

I don't know why I find this so funny.

Haha, I guess they might.

It's probably her flashback shot. IIRC her katana was actually her brother in laws sword

Spoiler

called Soultaker, that he'd used to kill her husband and family. The sword basically trapped her husbands soul inside it. She stole the sword and managed to escape the brother in law and then she used it to be a hero.

Didn't Ayer rewrite the whole thing? Is Marks even credited?

 

[ebullientprism]

Really dont like the Jokers "face". Robbie is perfect for Quinn though.

Other than that a little meh on the whole thing TBH. Maybe its not the best trailer.

 

[blackflag]

Harley!!!!!!

Who is the girl in the construction hat that was in a tunnel or something? She was later in the trailer as well. Familiar actress but who is she supposed to be?

 

[Shaanyboi]

Yeah, the trailer really is something else. The song choice is perfect. Works well with the editing.

That final shot of the whole team, with that last haunting line of "the joke was on me..." Like it's sad, it's creepy, and just makes it look like these guys are all just so fucked (which will really upset me if Katana bites the dust...)

Harley!!!!!!

Who is the girl in the construction hat that was in a tunnel or something? She was later in the trailer as well. Familiar actress but who is she supposed to be?

Looks like Enchantress (played by Cara Delevingne) before she goes completely nuts and actually becomes a villain.

Looks dope as I expected. We should get another trailer later explaining what the movie is actually going to be about.

Comic-Con trailer. I mean the movie is still over a year away.

Enchantress

 

[a.wd]

So I kinda liked it, and why am I the only one who can divorce Will Smith from the role he is playing?

I am totally getting the deadpool vibe, family man does some shit trying to redeem himself.

Also Leto, I dunno, would love to see some more of him in the role, but lets face it this was supposed to be a sizzle trailer to amp up the crowds at SDCC, not necessarily a polished trailer.

Thumbs (cautiously) up.

 

[johnsmith]

They better be working on a Poison Ivy + Harley movie after this.

 

[Strangelove77]

I'd be down for "Batman v Superman v Will Smith: Dawn of Gettin' Jiggy Wit It 2."

 

[User 479360]

I regularly say I'm sick of superhero movies, but I'm looking forward to this one, especially after seeing the trailer. Then again, I guess it's a super villain movie.

I'm a Leto fan and like what I saw from him in the trailer.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Exactly. I hated the new Joker when that first pic dropped, but seeing this trailer sold me instantly. It just looks fresh and sometimes change is good.

He said two sentences. Lets wait before making a decision.

 

[shanafan]

Really digging the trailer. I almost want this movie to just have one trailer, and then the movie comes out. I really do not want to know anything else!

 

[blackflag]

They better be working on a Poison Ivy + Harley movie after this.

I don't think I could survive that.

 

[diaspora]

Yep, that's the MaRS building alright.

 

[Dysun]

Harley and Joker going to steal the show

Jai Courtney actually looks ok as Captain Boomerang too

 

[EdibleKnife]

They better be working on a Poison Ivy + Harley movie after this.

Which is why I'm crossing my fingers that Ivy is the major villain in the solo Batman film

 

[schlongdog]

I expected Leto to develop his own Joker voice

 

[ironcreed]

He said two sentences. Lets wait before making a decision.

Of course I am just going by what we are seeing. He sounded great and I am damn sure sold on the psychotic new look.

 

[Lamel]

Looks OK. Will wait for more footage before casting judgment.

 

[jmizzal]

I'm more hyped for this then Batman vs Superman but still hyped for both

 

[Shaanyboi]

Harley and Joker going to steal the show

Jai Courtney actually looks ok as Captain Boomerang too

he looks like a total piece of shit

...which just so happens to fit nicely with Captain Boomerang, so I guess that works!

 

[yuraya]

Everyone in this movie will probably be dead in the end except Harley and Joker. That is how they will build them up to be in future movies like the new Batman and/or Justice League. Why else would they make this film part of the DCCU? There will have to be something to carry over. I don't think the

Spoiler

Joker killing Robin

stuff is enough to make it all worthwhile.

 

[bengraven]

Not sure how people are going to react to the Harley torture. Will probably be lambasted.

I'm not even playing devil's advocate, I'm dead serious.

 

[shanafan]

The music in trailer, is it of any relevance to anything from comics, or just a "normal" song used for the trailer?

And.. what is the song?
