see i would respect that! but they just split several bad differences and came up with something worse than the sum of its parts.

ok i love looker's costumer there except 1. armpit chain which looks dredfully ticklish at best 2. cape is not actually symmetrical
but otherwise reminds me of the best costume design of all time aka BUDDY COLE'S SOFTBALL UNIFORMS

idk who the fuck the fucks in that film lineup are
no comic book cred at all sorry
except harley quinn whose wiki i read & was like 'damn this lady is mad unprofessional for someone with a phd'
also pretty sure she just got raped into being crazy??? that level of characterization
i miss cesar romero :(

harley quinn is paul dini's character iirc and she works best as a cartoonish gunmoll rather than what she's become via videogames and fanservice which joker but with breasts

finally figured out what that promo pic reminded me of

harley works best playing kazoo taps during the joker's funeral for the apparently dead batman and bursting into earnest tears, not sure where that falls.

that is some detailed taint shading

cool powerful female leads

I'm not really a comix aficionado either, I just object to how kitschy and calculated the photo is.

surprised none of them are wearing a "Your Mom is In My Top 8 on MySpace" shirt.

Hammer Smashed Bagels, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 03:11 (nine years ago) link

(don't mean that as a "omg fukk comix", just that my exploration has largely been WAtchmen, The Killing Joke, Dark Knight Returns, and a few others here and there).

Hammer Smashed Bagels, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 03:12 (nine years ago) link

I dig that Adam Hughes signed that cosplayer's mallet.

Doktor Van Peebles (kingfish), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 05:23 (nine years ago) link

heh i noticed that too

Nhex, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 05:32 (nine years ago) link

idk who the fuck the fucks in that film lineup are

Well that was always the point of the book from the 80s on, where they just took a bunch of obscure DC C- and D-grade villains and thru them into this unit. Somebody usually always got capped on each mission.

Doktor Van Peebles (kingfish), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 05:41 (nine years ago) link

heh i noticed that too

me three

( who ALSO my boss and his sister!) (sic), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 07:10 (nine years ago) link

so disappointed not to see grant morrison in that lineup as notable suicide squad cannon-fodder member 'the writer'

bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 09:20 (nine years ago) link

that wouldn't be until the equivalent of Suicide Squad Movie Chapter 58

( who ALSO my boss and his sister!) (sic), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 10:29 (nine years ago) link

we can but hope

bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 10:35 (nine years ago) link

Am I wrong in thinking that this whole project is basically hinging on the presence of the Joker (which people have already been clowning, pun very much intended) and Will Smith's questionable present-day pull at the box office? Is there another element I'm not considering that could possibly save it from being a disaster?

More Fetid Than Fêted (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 13:24 (nine years ago) link

how they can go wrong, they have that naked chick from The Wolf of Wall Street and nu-Robocop

Nhex, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 13:26 (nine years ago) link

I would lol if they pulled a Milligan/Allred X-Force move and murdered 90% of the cast in the first 15 minutes

DJP, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 13:29 (nine years ago) link

another element = no-one had heard of Guardians of the Galaxy, kids are crazy for those comic book movies these days (yes yes, very different comics)

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 13:33 (nine years ago) link

well also GotG looked like it would be good very early on in the promo cycle (that one super expository commercial notwithstanding)

DJP, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 13:35 (nine years ago) link

warners really seem to be hellbent on learning all the wrong lessons from marvel's movies

bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 13:39 (nine years ago) link

Producers are just going to individually promote the movie to all results in this search: https://www.tumblr.com/search/harley+quinn

I might like you better if we Yelped together (Phil D.), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 13:41 (nine years ago) link

Really hopeful the soundtrack will have rock guys collaborating with edm guys

bass drops synced with bullets hitting flesh

bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 14:44 (nine years ago) link

millennials need their own judgement night OST; it's time

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 14:47 (nine years ago) link

Also hopeful this movie will have some fun meetings ahead with the MPAA, which may still lead to this being released as THE SQUAD, as per the lego batman 3 DLC

da croupier, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 14:48 (nine years ago) link

Haha forgot about judgment night, was thinking of spawn

da croupier, Tuesday, 5 May 2015 14:49 (nine years ago) link

from the aforementioned superhero blockbuster, spawn

panettone for the painfully alone (mayor jingleberries), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 22:13 (nine years ago) link

And even bigger superhero, Black Dynamite!

Doktor Van Peebles (kingfish), Tuesday, 5 May 2015 22:21 (nine years ago) link

skinny Waller is still one of the grossest endemic exemplars of Didio era

About as well as could be expected

Doktor Van Peebles (kingfish), Friday, 8 May 2015 15:06 (nine years ago) link

god i still can't believe dc is going to just gonna give joker a girlfriend and (allegedly) batman a dead robin four years after DKR. I realize we're all sick of rebooted origin stories, but if you're going to revamp with the story THAT far in progress...

da croupier, Friday, 8 May 2015 16:08 (nine years ago) link

and yes, many a nerdlinger knows about harley quinn and jason todd, but if the idea is to compete with the avengers you really don't want to settle for "the nerds already know this"

da croupier, Friday, 8 May 2015 16:08 (nine years ago) link

i'd almost be relieved to hear a marketing research study revealed a large untapped audience of juggalos across the planet dissatisfied with marvel's populism and lack of badass. if that wasn't also a horrifying prospect.

da croupier, Friday, 8 May 2015 16:15 (nine years ago) link

harley quinn has been a hot topic favorite for a long time ime, unless this was just long-term anticipatory marketing, which seems beyond them

difficult listening hour, Friday, 8 May 2015 16:46 (nine years ago) link

for non-comics-fans she also counts as 90s nostalgia

difficult listening hour, Friday, 8 May 2015 16:48 (nine years ago) link

though i feel like it may be unfair to lump the main character from Sex Criminals in there

Nhex, Friday, 8 May 2015 16:50 (nine years ago) link

yeah harley quinn was a pretty major character in the batman cartoon on fox in the 90s which was dope
