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

was at an anime convention a few months ago and like every fifth girl was harley. buncha nerdlingers tho iirc

there was a ton of them in nyc for comiccon. basically two at every subway stop.

At NYCC I noticed that the ration was like 2.5:1 canon harley : margot robbie harley but i was only there one day!

was that way at Dragon Con

Current comic Harley Quinn is awful (look, boobs!) but since she's the only DC character aside from Batman that sells they're giving her two more series.

Stats need further breaking down to account for Arkham Harley.

(bah, from the videogames (I'm aware that this clarification is not making me look any less sweaty-palmed))

just looking at the still i'm picturing a Galaxy Quest type scenario featuring a bunch of cosplayers abducted from San Diego Comic-Con. does the trailer support that?

having watched the trailer, this looks like so much garbage with so many name actors

This didn't come out like 5 months ago? I figured it would be on DVD by now.

it looks like it could be from those comic book TV shows that i don't watch.

Cringed at Queen. But. It looks different from Marvel movies so it automatically feels fresh in the superhero world. Even if it's bad, it's doing something.

it's made my daughter ask me who Deadpool is

xp so are the bundy militia, but

This is the old DC film I'm interested in, mainly due to the comics. I'm curious how you take a framework set up by Ostrander et al, shit thru the Nu52 years, and then make a Snyder-era movie from it.

the trailer provides plenty of suggestion and "shit thru the Nu52 years" looks right on. hard to believe millar isn't involved somehow.

I can't see anything related to this without whispering.... Badguy Patrol

There was some DC special that I didn't watch after Flash last night where I guess they debuted this trailer. Which I'm sure made synergistic sense to some DC exec but to many fans of the WB shows, it was probably more like "Hey, remember some of these characters from the shows you enjoy? Well, here they are again except they're not actually the same characters as the ones on TV and they're being played by different people! Isn't that fun?"

Cringed at Queen. But. It looks different from Marvel movies so it automatically feels fresh in the superhero world. Even if it's bad, it's doing something.

So fresh, this shittified version of a comic from 1988.

Funny that a modern, knockoff version of this has already been running for three years now, to universal critical acclaim and sales of literally hundreds of copies an issue. Imagine Warners just hiring Fiffe.

Badguy Patrol

The good thing this movie has caused is that DC is finally (after a failed attempt a few years ago) collecting the original 80s/90s Ostrander run, which is one of the best superhero comics of its era.

Yeah, getting Michel Fiffe on this would be awesome

finally (after a failed attempt a few years ago) collecting the original 80s/90s Ostrander run

They're not doing it any more finally now than they did it finally those few years ago.

Well at least they managed to get the second TPB out this time, and you can pre-order the third and fourth on Amazon. But I agree that it doesn't necessarily mean anything, the last time they were gonna put out the second TPB, and you could pre-order that too, but then it suddenly vanished with no explanation. Let's just hope the movie + the existing fanbase for the comic nets in enough demand for these that they're gonna collect the whole series. (Though I'm still sour at DC for cancelling the Shade and Human Target TPBs before the whole series was collected.)

It looks like a movie made specifically for juggalos

DC has perfected the art of starting reprint series they don't finish. It's really quite astonishing how good they are at it.

yeah I am super-pissed there were only three volumes of Superman: Man of Tomorrow and now it looks like there won't be any more DC Archives...?

i have now seen so many people run with that obviously satirical article about jared leto thinking it was 100% true (how????) that i think i'm starting to be inclined to think this movie is adorable just in response

i still won't see it but gosh some people

ah yes, that obviously satirical article about Jared Leto

I guess people are believing that page really and truly collects some joke screenshots from twitter

most of the comments on the deadspin article itself are responding to the joke screenshots as if they are from a real article

sorry if i'm not being clear?

Yeah, I don't get why Sic is so confused?

my mistake for not reading the comments on a sports website's link page to a Storify

During an interview with Vanity Fair, How to Get Away With Murder star Viola Davis was also asked about Jared Leto’s bizarre behavior on the set of Suicide Squad.

“He did some bad things, Jared Leto did,” she said. “He gave some really horrific gifts. He had a henchman who would come into the rehearsal room, and the henchman came in with a dead pig and plopped it on the table, and then he walked out. And that was our introduction into Jared Leto.”

He made another guy listen to his records.
