Shoulda had Daniel Day Lewis play joker

The first method actor to play Joker killed himself, Daniel Day Lewis would probably turn into a serial killer to prepare himself for the role.

I meant Slipknop, and El Diablo being odd choices. Im not even sure how much some of these characters are going to be in the movie

I like the intro with Waller and Harley asking if she's the devil.

Dunno about this one overall though. DC stuff has been disappointing since TDK.

Frankly I think this trailer is better than the Supes vs Batman one. Now I'm not saying either one looksgood, just that this is slightly less bad.

They're both in the same category of movies I'll probably go see and regret.

I think the Joker looks shitty, but will probably be acted really well. Harley looks fine, I don't think she needs a fucking jester hat and giant mallet to play her part. Killer Croc actually looks pretty awesome as he's done with practical effects and make-up rather than a CGI mess like Spider-Man's Lizard. Who are the other people? Don't know, don't care. Will Smith? Why? But okay, whatever. As long as he's I Am Legend Will Smith and not MIB2 Will Smith.

I think this trailer is more interesting than Superman vs. Batman for the fact that I think people expect so much from that movie and will be let down to a degree. I, and other non DC fanboys, know mostly nothing of Suicide Squad so it should be enjoyable extra anti-hero movie to help boost mainstream DC's relatively garbage record the last few years.

She didn't have the full on Harlequin costume in the Arkham series and she was still unmistakably Harley. I mean I'm sure somewhere some DC artist drew Harley looking strung out hooker, which is probably the justification for Margot Robbie looking like a 20 dollar a fuck whore straight out of J49's dating pool, but no effort to sound anything like Strong or Sorkin, shitty costume, everything else in the movie is shitty, so yeah no surprise people think Harley is shitty too.

Why the Fuck would she try to sound like the cartoon character? This is an actual movie she isn't doing voice over work get over it.

The Arkham game series isn't a cartoon and Tara Strong's performance is still very evocative of the original without directly copying it. The cartoon is the origin of the fucking character, you need a good excuse NOT to sound like it.

That sounds incredibly retarded for some reason.

That's because it is incredibly retarded, and completely flies in the face of what makes the character unique and interesting. Harley's non retarded origin is that she was an intern at Arkham who was fascinated with him, got sucked in by the force of his personality, and fell in love with him. While it's a pretty abusive relationship, she's usually sort of oblivious to the way he treats her and if Joker was actually capable of loving anyone, it would be Harley. But she has free will, and has even tried to kill him a couple times.

That's a helluva lot more interesting than someone you tortured until she developed Stockholm syndrome.

This bit from Batman TAS is a quintessential example of the relationship between Joker and Harley.

Because it's not interesting. She may as well be Red Hoods sidekick Scarlet... a chick tortured by professor Pyg. Tortured to be crazy is hackneyed and easy. Derivative. And removes her agency as a character. Harley walked into the damn situation with her eyes open. She wanted that Mark Hamil voiced man. She took the plunge into insanity. It was her decision and her agency.


Also when the fuck is there going to bea Professor Pyg movie?

Whoever greenlights these things... I want their job.

I laughed way too hard at this! lol

Okay yeah, I didn't catch onto the whole Harley Quinn origin thing in the preview. I'm suddenly annoyed.

Trailer looks fairly "meh".

I actually appreciate this trailer. It didn't follow the typical route with build --> silence --> BWAAHHH --> action sequence

Good for them.

This and Batman VS Supes look so bad. Why is DC so bad at movies.
