It's fucking atrocious. I like the idea of Harley having shitty ink because Joker branded her but every tat that Joker has is a God awful attempt at being "edgy".

Joker is edgy. I always gotta bring this up on this forum but the character is literally bleeding edginess on every page. His whole mantra, the way he talks, his silly makeup etc. The whole cult popularity of the character after TDK was because of this too.
The tattoos and the swag punk look are a natural evolution. Damaged is basura though no doubt.

Margot's got that bratty Harley Quinn face down.Really like this one
Just makes him look less intimidating to me, having a damaged tattoo on his forehead. Makes it look less like an insane creepy guy and more like a guy TRYING to look insane and creepy.

I thought so at first but when you realize that, you know, we somehow treat a pale man with green hair in a purple suit and Harley's jester onesie as normal. It's not all that different. By and large they've done good work taking the spirit of these characters and making them contemporary. But I'll admit the damaged tattoo still gets me.

Seems like they're going more with the Clown Prince of Crime joker than more modern takes' maniacal ubervillain. He's a gang boss with a freaky-ass aesthetic, thus the cartel inspirations.
idk there's something there

Maybe the damaged tattoo is like the big bat symbol in some Batman stories. It's meant to stand out so people would aim for it, and he has a giant metal plate in his head so he can't be hurt.
Bet none of you thought that, huh!

Joker is crazy. Premeditated shitty tats aren't crazy to me. I'm fine with him being actual punk but this joker is some Falloutboy shit to me rather than Sid Vicious. Also I think his cult popularity came from his makeup being scary and Ledger's portrayal of him being unhinged. He's a character that could ostensibly be silly but he's so intimidating that he's not. This joker just looks like a lame poser.

Psst, people said the same kind of shit about Ledger before TDK, that he didn't look like 'real' Joker and was looked like a homeless person in make up or whatever. Different interpretations of a character whose been through countless versions and revisions.
Rope guy is shown in trailer scenes of them introducing the team, and then that shot of him roping to a roof. I bet that's about the extent of his part before going boom.

Psst, I was there for Ledger and I didn't complain about him. I just think the design of this Joker is lame; maybe I'll Jett myself and be all "Wow! These shitty tats and grill suddenly make amazing sense in regards to the context of this sophisticated narrative and he's terrifying because of it!" But my money's still on me coming out thinking he looks like a fuckin' goober.

For some reason I'm not entirely sold on Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. I like her, but she looks like she's doing lazy cosplay.
I suppose we'll see.
I also think the damaged tattoo is stupid, but whatever. Just ignore it and pretend it's not there.

I'm most psyched for Viola Davis. Major, major character in the comics(if not the hingepin), so I hope she gets her time in the spotlight.

I think Viola Davis has the potential to absolutely own the role in a way Gary Oldman did for Gordon where I will always read them in their voice.
CCH Pounder already did a good job of it though but I think Viola is a pretty strong actor.

From the brief glimpses of her(only that one dinner scene?), she seems to be owning it.

Tattoo Man is being played by Common and he's the guy Joker is talking with in that pic of him at a club. I don't think he's been officially announced, just by set pics and careful examining of the trailers.
yes pls

She's channeling The Wall, not N52 Waller. Gonna be a hell of a thing.

I still think this movie could end up working. I haven't loved every trailer, but I think it's got a shot.
I'm not crazy optimistic, though.

Green room blow.
For me, what makes it even worse is the fact that Joker has never even really considered himself DAMAGED in the comic books. He's always been the one absolutely convinced that he sees the world for how it really is (a big joke) whilst everyone is blinded to the monstrous nature of the reality they inhabit. But no, with this version...Joker's a gritty, eccentric prisoner with a DAMAGED tattoo on his fucking forehead.
DAMAGED.

Katana probably won't have the most screen time but damn if I don't love her look

Is Katana a villain in the comics? In other media I've seen that character in, she was heroic

Katana is gorgeous and badass at the same time.
Well, there's rumours regarding that which would explain it.

Buying an advanced ticket on Day 1 and I can't WAIT for the Hot Topic clothing line to come out. That Harley Quinn bomber jacket will be MINE
Honestly, my expectations on Suicide Squad are astronomical. If it doesn't end up being one of my absolute favorite films of all time, Ayer will have failed me.

I wonder if Jai Courtney is cursed. I can't think of a single film he's been in thus far that wasn't shit.
Also, what the fuck kind of name is "Jai" anyhow?
I didn't even realize Hot Topic was still "in." What is this, 2005?
