The Suicide Squad Film Follies

i going to shy away from criticizing Johns on the movies because I have to see any evidence that he's done... anything. i don't think anyone at DC/WB has the level of power/control/corporate faith that Feige has gotten from Marvel

and whoever the hell is Spiderman next time around.

let's pause for a moment to ponder a james franco as spiderman performance art piece/film/experience/proto-interactive visual 3D art

shia lebouef IS miles morales IN

FP

jaden smith clearly the only sane choice to play miles morales

FP again

mission accomplished

paging djp: Jaden Smith Confirmed As Static Shock By Tyler James Williams

Haha I was literally coming here to post that :)

great news travels fast i guess

if dc thinks this highly of forces behind After Earth i've got my fingers crossed for M. Night Shyamalan's Sandman

i really liked the static comics; would be curious to see a milestone resurrection
no opinion on jaden in the role

Just clued in today to the fact that this is the film they're shooting in Toronto--don't know how much of it will be shot here.

What the FUCK

Now it's been confirmed that a teased Harley Quinn storyline was dropped from Arrow because of her appearance in this movie (which would also explain why certain other characters have been sidelined or killed off). Which doesn't explain why the parallel Flashes are being allowed to happen.

bit harder to sideline the title character than a supporting one - be interesting to see if anything becomes off-limits in the tv show when plans for the movie become clearer.

wonder who the villain for the movie will be, given that the tv show has already introduced a bunch of classic flash rogues and looks set to bring in more next season.

Man, eff this movie.

Honestly I'm quite ready to hate-watch this sucker, X-Men: Origins: Wolverine-style

I'll probably watch it but I'm bummed at what it COULD have been. Like, the Joker and Batman don't need to be anywhere near this movie, and that's the least of what's annoying about it.

I'm predicting a cult classic a la Con Air.

finally a comic book movie that proves they're not just for kids

hollywood: please stop gary jules-ing all the songs

Will this one finally reveal how Batman became Batman? Or how Superman became Batman? Or how Batman became Spiderman?

"we're some kind of suicide squad cross-leveraged corporate intellectual property clusterfuck"

Somehow doesn't look as bad as the action sequences in Batman v Superman

realllly curious how this has been budgeted - and projected to be rated

cuz if it's rated R and north of 100m it has to do as well as Mad Max Fury Road to be any kind of hit

i'll see it, but i also saw jonah hex

DC is in serious self clowning mode (pun intended)

still amazed how much they've banked on Batman v Supes being adored. They're going to from making a DC supermovie a year - only the batmans connected, because only the batmans were big, to a series of super-connected films once every six months or so.

holy shit that looks great doesn't it?? i wish it was like.. X rated.

wat

DC is in serious self clowning mode (pun intended)

The Po-Faced Absurdity of DC Comics (picture thread)

snyder sure loves his dour serious trailers doesnt he

i dunno looks silly and fun and will smith will be in charm mode and adewale akinnuoye-agbaje will be in, uh, a lot of makeup

bring on the r-rated funnybook flix imo

Task Force X-Rated, mor lik

Still, am far, FAR more interested in this than any BvS/JLA flick, due to the Ostrander/Yale years making the comic one of the most compelling/progressive titles on the Big Two's rosters during the Bronze/Chromium Age

If they can get the Waller/Deadshot/Boomerang interchange working, then I'm happy. If they can get a proper Waller/Batman interaction working, I'll be ecstatic.

yeah, the ostrander/yale years are some of my favourite superhero comics ever, but i dunno if the snyderverse is really built to support the delicate moral shading that made those books so great. i'd love to be proved wrong tho!

Meh... only thing that trailer made me do is wonder if I should play the latest Batman videogame Arkham City was dope.

Nice asylum normcore sweatpants there.

I hope they say I ❤️ JOKES on the butt

how are they getting the feel of the marketing for this so completely wrong

"There was definitely a period of...detachment," Leto explains. "I took a pretty deep dive. But this was a unique opportunity and I couldn't imagine doing it another way. It was fun, playing those psychological games. But at the same time it was very painful, like giving birth out of my prick hole."

yes, just like that
