I kind of liked the fancasting for him as Shazam. Still having a tough time imagining who is going to stack up against Rock.
Arrow has DS like that too right?
He's not a bad guy other than killing people he just wants to protect and help his daughter.
fuck, sounds amazing.

Friend of mine did this mockup of Leto's joker.
That's The Crow not joker
It sounds a bit insane he can take on the entire team.

I'm thinking more in this set-up where he doesn't have power and him not really being the final villain. And star-wise, Smith being taken down too by a more second rank actor.

Damn, totally gives off Joker vibes even without any make-up or anything
That's the point for Hammer. He's an idiot. And given what we later learn about the Senator

Or rather, retconned into part of a larger plot

Yea, if Iron Man 2 was that smart it would have been a better movie. I say that as someone who likes 2 over 3.
I hope Deathstroke taking on the SS is like him fighting the Teen Titans and not this bullshit.
Third batch of rumors... this one dealing with the Joker

Man, Suicide Squad is going to be doing a lot of heavy lifting in terms of world building and establishing the universe.
Twitter don't allow long posts so. ;P

This is coming from the guy who's been releasing spoilers recently about Spider-Man and other comic book movie stuff who has been wrong on like 90 percent of it, so take this with a grain of salt.

OK, straight up, Suicide Squad is pretty much my most anticipated DC film. It just seems so unusual.
Same here.
I'm most interested in seeing Harley Quinn on the big screen for the first time.
I'll go one step further
Suicide Squad is my most anticipated comic book movie.

It's tied with Ant-Man for me, honestly. Both of these are my most anticipated comic book flicks. Heist movie and dirty dozen-esque caper filtered through superheroics and supervillainy. Goddamn, guys. What a time to live in.

So I'm not a crazy person? *whew*
If even half this stuff is true this film is going to be great. I'm still waiting for the, hopefully, picture of Snyder, Ayers, MacLaren, Terrio, etc in a room. Showing off how they're all working together to get this right and synced up even though each film might have it's own style and look. I want that photo op really bad.
The unknowns for this SS film are crazy. Just what they could do it and more importantly what it could lead to is exciting.

It's easy to take down Deadshot. Just throw him a bullet and tell him he missed a target. That'll turn him into an alcoholic for a few months.
Like I said, I hope it's better portrayed than that.

Yes to bleached skin, no to broad shoulders/muscles. I like my joker thin and wiry. I've never seen joker as a physical threat to batman.
Same, but that's only because we know more about this film than we do BvS, when this film hasn't even started shooting yet :|.
I'd be down for a forever evil like movie. I still have to read Secret Six sometime, they need to get the DC Unlimited thing rolling.
I just like villains.
Honestly, if they announced a Secret Six film, would jump to the top of my list!

I got to say, Suicide Squad is going to make Man of Steel seem like a really weird movie. Arkham, a veteran Batman and Joker, all these villains and such active,...and yet Superman appearing was a big deal?
Forever Evil would be the shit. But only if Ryan Reynolds came back to play Power Ring.

I wonder if Suicide Squad is gonna be a one-off film or a jumping point for a franchise.
I'm so pumped for Leto's Joker. Honestly, the only point of concern for me is Will Smith's Deadshot, what with his penchant to always wanna be a goodie two-shoes lead.

It's like the stat that more people die in car crashes than plane accidents, but we're always more drawn to plane accidents because such larger scale incidents.
Imagine this is the same, most of the villains in this film are fairly grounded. A bit cartoonish, but relatively grounded.
Superman was an event... and more than anything it was Zod announcing himself to the world that dew people's attention. Not any deed Clark did before hand

I think it could be a franchise if they rotate the characters. If they use villains that were already in a movie it would be an easy sell. Black Manta, Cheetah, Bane all sorts of villains from other heroes movies could be in Suicide Squad 2.

I sorta agree. Superman's appearance was such a striking thing that it shifted the landscape of the world.
However, Batman and his rogues didn't. He's just a man in a cowl fighting insane people in an insane city. He probably doesn't blip on the radar anymore as something weird.
That said, I'm curious how they're gonna incorporate the rest of the JLA considering Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, these are characters that would make an equally enormous splash when they appear, continuing to shift the landscape.
Personally, I really enjoy the idea of what the world was like with veteran Batman and these more small-scale psychological struggles. But I'm interested to see how they can pull it off. BVS ought to be interesting, and I'm pumped for SS as it'll probably (hopefully) be more nasty and grounded.

GL could be off planet doing stuff for the guardians, Flash could have just received his powers, given Ezra's young age. WW could be on Paradise Island, Arthur in Atlantis. I'd accept those explanations for where they have been.
Stuff like Enchantress will be harder to explain.

They are clearly doing something right then... because that was probably their biggest risk.
Batman V Superman is going to sell on name alone.
Same here, film just sounds so good. Hopefully it delivers.
