That jump is one of my favorite shots in the trailer.
Its kinda comical and very Joker.

 

[BronsonLee]

Ledger Joker is going to be hard to top in my eyes. Leto's a great actor so I really hope his Joker clicks with me.

Right now, it's tough to judge him because they've only shown a few seconds which may as well mean nothing without the context of the movie. That's the most exciting thing about this movie now though. I was expecting him to be a cameo, but they've given him second billing to Will Smith. He must have a decent sized role then.

I get a feeling they're going to be played very, very, -very- differently.

The way Ledger played him kind of reminds me of how DiCaprio plays most of his roles nowadays; characters that can kind of fly off the handle on a moment's notice. I always refer to that in my head as sudden aggression. It made Ledger's Joker feel very, very dangerous, because you knew he was capable of it, but just couldn't predict when.

Leto's Joker feels like he's just fucking -gone-. Like he's the ultimate wildcard, because he could legit do anything and find it hilarious.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Well that was probably one of the best trailers I've seen in a long while. Looks fun.

 

[Poodlestrike]

So why is Enchantress cutting Rick's hair.

Are they a thing

I mean... he knows she's possessed by an evil witch, and he's chill with handing her scissors and cutting his hair?

June is pretty tragic. When she's not possessed, she's probably the nicest person on the squad, including the heroes. When she is... well, she's a raving, murderous madwoman with inexplicable powers.

So yeah, they hang out when she's not... y'know, looking to kill the world.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Do we know who the primary antagonist of this is yet? It's not Joker is it?

 

[RS4-]

When the movie is close, we should place bets on who dies first and who survives. Because so far, it's plain obvious.

1 Constipated Rope man.
2.Annoyed Fire man.
3.Katana.

black guy always dies first

 

[Tabby]

That jump is one of my favorite shots in the trailer.
Its kinda comical and very Joker.

Nah. I prefer the shot of him lying down surrounded by knives. That screamed Joker to me.
Leto and Robbie both look phenomenal in this.

 

[Prompto]

Who are Ike Barinholtz and Scott Eastwood playing? Whoever they are, they're important enough to be listed in the cast. Which is surprising since the people who play Enchantress, Slipknot, and Katana aren't even though they're on the poster.

 

[Zeyphersan]

After being unhyped by the first trailer, this one got me back on board

I'm game!

 

[injurai]

So DC does Tsundere...

1 Constipated Rope man.
2.Annoyed Fire man.
3.Katana.

Naw, Katana's not biting it here.

I'll go with...

1) Rope Guy. Very very early.

2) El Diablo. Heroic sacrifice much later in the film.

3) Croc. Gets desperate, gets put down by Katana (but we never see the body).

4) Enchantress. Squad's forced to kill her when she gets out of control.

3.Katana.

Nah, Katana will likely be fine. If anything, it'll probably be Enchantress that dies instead of Katana. I do agree with you on Slipknot & El Diablo biting it, though.

Ike plays an asshole
Scott is probably a comic hero

2.Annoyed Fire man.
3.Katana.

Im 100% on Katana dying, she is a hero with basically zero importance to anything and will make for an easy shock death.
I'd almost guarantee she will get killed by her own sword.

 

[Hellwarden]

wut

That would be a neat trick, since he isn't even in this.

But hell, it's the Squad, who knows?

Woops, not sure where I got Zsasz from. Brain must have locked up there. (probably doesn't help that I've been up for around 24 hours.)

I meant Croc.

 

[Messypandas]

Rope Guy is going to be the surprise survivor, Alien style.

 

[Verendus]

Leto's Joker feels like he's just fucking -gone-. Like he's the ultimate wildcard, because he could legit do anything and find it hilarious.

Yeah, I think that has to be the case too. It has to be very different Joker. It's why I really want to see his performance. A few seconds isn't enough to get a gauge on him as it stands. Probably the most exciting thing coming out of this trailer is knowing he probably has a good sized role in the movie. All the best really since I think debuting a new Joker with a cameo would be terrible. There has to be enough meat there to leave a strong impression, good or bad.

 

[Loxley]

Some people have theorized that Eastwood is playing Dick Grayson/Nightwing and it'll be some sort of surprise reveal in either BVS or SS - but there's no concrete evidence who he is either way.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Naw, Katana's not biting it here.

I'll go with...

1) Rope Guy. Very very early.

2) El Diablo. Heroic sacrifice much later in the film.

3) Croc. Gets desperate, gets put down by Katana (but we never see the body).

4) Enchantress. Squad's forced to kill her when she gets out of control.

I agree with this. I could see Enchantress maybe surviving if the Squad are able to save her instead of putting her down. But yeah, Rope Guy to show that they're serious, El Diablo to show the Squad aren't fully horrible people, and Croc cause fuck Croc.

Ike Barinholtz is playing a guard. He gets tortured by the Joker.

Eastwood... no clue. He's got too prominent billing and placement to be "soldier character #5," but that's all we've seen of him. I like the idea of him being Agent Grayson.

So DC does Tsundere...

[Neoxon]

I have a good feeling that everyone in this image will make it out of this movie alive.

You have 4 prominent villains & 2 legit heroes. It's a solid list of characters to use in later films.

 

[Archer]

That looks surprisingly good.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

He uses women as punching bags

not like this rope guy.

His name is Slipknot.

For some reason, I find it hilarious.

 

[Mediking]

So DC does Tsundere...

Yup. DC does Tsundere...

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

His name is Rope Guy.

ftfy

 

[Poodlestrike]

Nah, Croc is great! Especially these days.

I figure he just panics and does something stupid. Feels right.

 

[Penguin]

I got to say, surprised, but happy that they didn't include Batman at all in this trailer.

Maybe have confidence can market it w/o showing his appearance more

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

The director mentioned a while ago that the movie was going to surprisingly funny or something like that.

Hopefully it's dark humor funny and Marvel zzzz type of funny. I'm excited about this, but remain skeptical. Don't give a shit about Dr Strange or Xmen but might see them if I have nothing to do but kill time. Deadpool looks like a coin flip between them nailing the character to overdoing the banter. BvS and this look too much like wildcards to guess what is happening, though BvS feels like they showed the entire movie in the last trailer. :\

The only comic book movie I'm confident will be great is Civil War. Maybe Disney can give the Russo brothers some freedom instead of going another safe route like every other movie

Spoiler

They're going to kill someone and bring them back 2 movies later, dat suspense

 

[Solid SOAP]

Will certainly be the superior of the two DC movies coming out based on the trailer

 

[BKatastrophe]

Now, let's talk sequels:

Basically printing money already

Sounds like she's working with Flagg as his second-in-command.

I was thinking trying to kill Enchantress. Considering Soultaker actually glows, which means it's doing some soul taking, I imagine.

Hey, remember when everyone couldn't stop talking about WB's "No Jokes" policy with their superhero movies?

Remember that?

Huh?

This trailer is merely a ruse. The rest of the movie is zero jokes. None whatsoever.

Suicide Squad |OT| Rope Guy and his bitches

Suicide Squad |OT| You can't strangle a robot

50 Shades of Grey Ghost.

I'd read that book

Don't worry, there'll be plenty of that in the movie. NOBODY likes Captain Boomerang (in-universe).

Except for Jack Drake

Shit I think I just realized something....

Spoiler

Is this Joker taking ANOTHER dip in the chemicals? And if so will it "erase" all those tattoos?

I was gonna say, because it looks like the colors are coming OUT of her hair.

I'm sure the movie itself will still be great, but I'm hoping it's closer in tone to that comic-con footage.

Why? Thing about villain stories like this is that they're brutal as hell. People expect villain stories to be dark because they are VILLAINS. With Katana and Croc and Deadshot I'm sure there'll be plenty of dark brooding. The rest are scummy motherfuckers (except for Waller and Flagg because they "good" people).

The least they could do is make some jokes. Let the villains have fun. People hate on WB for their movies being to dark, now this one isn't dark enough? Lawd have mercy.

wat

Brother Eye confirmed

The Squad exists for 2 primary reasons: first, deniability. If they're captured or killed in action then they can just write it up as Supervillains doing Supervillain shit. Second, controllibility. Because they're... well, supervillains, nobody much cares what happens to them after they go to jail, which means they're free to use whatever... "persuasions" they need to. Heroes are a lot harder to strongarm, and have more moral compunctions.

The ethics of the squad were a big part of the original run, though it's sort of ignored these days. Post 9/11 world and all that.

Spoiler

It's mostly for covert ops stuff. Superman won't punch a dictators head off, but Killer Croc will. They get promised freedom in return. They also usually palce a bomb in their neck or head to keep them in line.

Well, the Squad tends to be placed in situations the JL would never approve of. Afterall, they are the brain child of Amanda Waller.

Yup. They are the blackest of ops.

Ah so there is a gif of the most unnecessary line I ever heard in a trailer.

As long as you believe that.

That's a song that u don't touch. And if u have to touch it, don't put it in a fuckin action comic book movie trailer.

Yes the syncing was good for what it was, but gross.

You're still in your sophomore years, aren't you?

Boomer's gonna shove Ropeguy under the bus the second it's convenient, or he's bored, or whatever.

Just like the comics.

Better believe it

Zsasz is gonna die in the first half hour isn't he?

I didn't see Zsasz, but I wouldn't be opposed to this.

 

[BronsonLee]

Yeah, I think that has to be the case too. It has to be very different Joker. It's why I really want to see his performance. A few seconds isn't enough to get a gauge on him as it stands.

All the best really since I think debuting a new Joker with a cameo would be terrible. There has to be enough meat there to leave a strong impression, good or bad.

Considering they're keeping shit under lock and key RE: some roles in this, I have to imagine they're related to Joker's stuff. He'll probably be doing his own thing while the Squad gets their shit going.

 

[Nudull]

His name is Slipknot.

Is he psychosocial?

 

[Poodlestrike]

I have a good feeling that everyone in this image will make it out of this movie alive.

You have 5 prominent villains & a legit hero. It's a solid list of characters to use in later films.

Flagg's not really a villain.

Neither is Katana.

But you're probably right.

 

[Neoxon]

Flagg's not really a villain.

Neither is Katana.

But you're probably right.

It was a typo on my part, but I've fixed it.

 

[Saya]

Love the little smokey skull detail here

 

[Hellwarden]

Croc doesn't look good to be honest. His design doesn't really inspire fear at all.

Maybe he's gonna be the joke of the team?

 

[EroticSushi]

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Flagg's not really a villain.

Neither is Katana.

But you're probably right.

I was legit surprised when Will Smith took on the role of Deadshot cause I thought he had a rule where he always had to play a hero.

And then I realized they're probably gonna make him be pretty much a hero.

 

[Kibbles]

Looks like Joker is with Harley during that pole dancing scene(?)

Super Thug El Diablo better survive

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

the shell casings match to the music was pretty sweet

 

[BronsonLee]

I was legit surprised when Will Smith took on the role of Deadshot cause I thought he had a rule where he always had to play a hero.

And then I realized they're probably gonna make him be pretty much a hero.

I think the rule is actually that he wants to be the lead, which makes sense, because he's Will Smith

 

[Messypandas]

Croc will survive so The Batman can open with him being caught in Gotham's sewers. Thats just a typical Batman type thing to do.

 

[3N16MA]

Best superhero trailer I have seen in a long time. Nailed it.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Now here is a good looking movie. WHEW! I am SO ready for this...

 

[Neoxon]

Think of it this way.

• You can't kill off Harley Quinn & Deadshot, they're just too popular.
• Killer Croc is a prominent Batman villain. So while not on the level of the two mentioned above, he's too big to be killed off now (figuratively & literally).
• Katana & Rick Flag are the only genuine heroes on the team, Katana being the more popular hero of the two. Not to mention that Katana is being pushed quite a bit as one of DC's main female heroes. You can't lose that.
• Captain Boomerang has a legit future in a Flash movie with the Rogues.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Super Thug El Diablo better survive

No way this guy makes it

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Super Thug El Diablo better survive

He's dead as a door nail.

I think the rule is actually that he wants to be the lead, which makes sense, because he's Will Smith

Oh maybe that's it.

Has he ever played a villain?

 

[Red]

This is the first of DCCU's projects I'm looking forward to. I hope it turns out well.

 

[jett]

One of the two latino guys is getting got. We're just screwed like that.
