Now they have to have Ed Norton or Brad Pitt beating the shit out of him.

The Joker should never look like he just came off a three day bender at an ICP concert.
Ouch.

< Cast photo > minus Joker and Waller. Harley Quinn looks like she crawled from a trailer park. With Will Smith as Deadshot. Just why? This flick is going to suck, maybe not as much as Batman and Robin, but fucking bad.

I wish them luck.

That cast photo reminds me a bit of The Mystery Men.
Posted by Vince on May 04 2015,18:43
I'm really not sure what they're aiming for here.

Here's a trailer.I still am not sure... am I supposed to be rooting for these guys?
Was the book the movie is based on any good?
Posted by Malcolm on Jul. 13 2015,19:01
It's not a single book. It's a comic series. The squad is a rotating list of villains/antiheroes as it's whoever's captured and shackled at the moment. I can't even click play on that trailer. The Joker looks so, so fucking bad. He's what I think a second-rate Joker impersonator would be like.EDIT: There are a few dudes who are, more or less, permanent members. Two are in the flick, one is played by Will Smith. Affleck is also supposed to have a cameo, which should only add to the shittiness.
Posted by GORDON on Jul. 13 2015,19:13
They mention Superman, and seem to show Afflek for a moment.

I'm willing to give this Joker a chance. But he sort of does look like Eurotrash Joker. I keep expecting a thick German accent.
Posted by GORDON on Jul. 13 2015,19:19
They should have kept Bale. Bale even said he wanted to do it.
Posted by Leisher on Jul. 13 2015,19:55
That is incorrect. Bale said he wouldn't do it again without Nolan. I know he later recanted, but I think it was too late. I'm giving Affleck a chance. That new Joker though...ugh. He looks like complete shit, his laugh is terrible, and his voice does not fit the character.
They fucking nailed Harley Quinn's look though. I want to hear her talk more.
I do not have high hopes for this film, which actually could work in its favor.

The Joker does not wear a grill. He's also Jared Leto, the dude that is most famous for getting the shit beat out of him by Ed Norton in Fight Club, and as frontman for 30 Seconds to Mars.

Hell, no. I can't believe that after fuck knows how many years, the best Batman is still down to Keaton and West. The Nolan batrilogy is not aging well and it's a steep climb downwards in quality as it goes on.

I've yet to hear a single person say Leto has nailed The Joker.
The Joker cut off his own face, but yeah, he wears a fucking grill...
This is what I was talking about when I said DC doesn't know its own characters or doesn't get their comics folks involved in the movies enough.

Bale wasn't horrible nor was Nolan's trilogy. Bale's biggest mistake was the voice, and he did not portray a realistic Bruce Wayne. Keaton was the best Wayne.
Nolan's trilogy has huge plot holes, but his villains were solid.
West is just awesome.

I'm trying to imagine the Joker sitting in Arkham one day, seeing the TV on thinking, "Whoa, what's that thing he's got on his teeth there, that rapper guy?"
Oh, I should also mention the Squad is run by a chick named Amanda Waller. She looks like the result of the Kingpin having a one-night stand with Roz from "Night Court."

So.. the comic is misogynist and racist?

I said looks like. But seriously...

Is that a purple alligator skin suit with track pants?

What fucking insane asylum has semi-dark blue pants as standard issue?
"Hey, we need to give the inmates some pants. How about that bright, glow-in-the-dark orange?"
"Nah, we're out. Go with the dark blue surplus fabric."

Looks like I wasn't alone with my bad feeling based off what's been released so far...< Conventional wisdom seems to be that this movie is going to fucking suck. >
Posted by Malcolm on Nov. 17 2015,19:20
Wow. A "fresh take" on the Joker.
Posted by Leisher on Nov. 18 2015,04:08
Yeah, I don't have high hopes for this film.
