There's also way too many characters in this. Even if you skip the fighting heroes part it should've been a much smaller group.
I assume a group named "Suicide Squad" will be thinned out in short order.

I'm guessing one of those people will, early on, decide that they don't need to follow Waller's orders once they're in the field. Which will allow them to then show that they all have explosives in them to keep them in line once that person blows up as an example. So one of them is going away in probably the first 5 minutes. My guess is Slipknot, because I had never heard of him before now. By the end of the movie, we'll probably be down to Deadshot, Harley, Croc, and either Katana or Enchantress.

Slipknot was used in the *comic* as a disposable throw-away who proved that Waller would be willing to blow someone's arm off if they went off-mission, so I would expect him to be gone within ten minutes. Same for about three or four others.

Perhaps some sort of... spooky... region?
I think it would be preferable if the region in question were outright dangerous, personally.

I know I'm a bit biased because I had almost zero interest in the first place, but : I have so much less than zero interest now. I don't understand how you DC guys are feeling, but I would imagine it's pretty ragey.

Really, the best part of this whole shit fiesta is that it's causing them to remove characters from their perfect decent tv shows. I don't even get the mindset involved with that, especially with marvel busy kicking their teeth in.

DC/Warner has a serious problem in that their movie people think their shit doesn't stink and that TV is somehow the redheaded stepchild it used to be. They do not in the slightest understand the hows and whys of Marvel's success, but they see those billions and covet.

I don't understand why they hired David S. Goyer to write the script when he publicly admitted hating super hero movies. It's decisions like that that make me scratch my head. Maybe he owes them a script, I don't know.

Because he's a known quantity who, despite hating the genre, has written a good chunk of successful pieces in it.
It's a very corporate move which should surprise nobody about WB's handling of DC's properties at this point.

This has production design problems rather than story problems. The story's going to be fine. Dumb, but fine.
Besides, I'd rather have a super hero movie written by a capable writer who hates super heroes than a mediocre writer who loves them."Three-star talent, five-star drive" and all that.

The DC Animated Universe direct to DVD stuff is pretty good, case in point the Suicide Squad Assault on Arkham. It was way better than this thing is going to be. The Jared Leto joker pics have been a fucking travesty so far. Will Smith will be shit because he's shit in everything. The costuming on nearly everyone is cringe inducing.
It looks like they got a smaller budget than a single episode of Hercules used to. And at least Hercules usually had boobs to distract everyone from the fact that everyone in ancient Greece dressed and lived like northern European serfs.

After After Earth, Will Smith desperately needs a hit. This is not it. He should have done ID5: The Search for More Independence.

If you follow statements made by him and his kids it really looks like they've all lost their fucking minds and gone over the deep end.

Having seen her in Gotham lately, I'm not entirely sure that can be described as "winning."

Visually stupid, but I'll reserve judgement until I see what Leto does with the character. I liked his acting well enough and convinced me with Dallas Buyer's Club.

The Joker looks like a zombie in those set photos. While I agree Leto can add a lot I just have zero faith in the script or, apparently, the set design or make up of this movie.

Lighting and filters could change the look... it may look better in DC Dismal Grey than in real color.
Of course, the look is the least of my fears on this pathway to destruction. I'd love to see Justice League flop enough to see them cancel the whole series of movies and basically hand the keys to the TV teams...

Yeah, it's easier to photograph something light and alter it darker in post than the other way around. The hair/makeup don't really bother me because of that... the rest of the stuff makes me worried.

Why does Lindelof keep getting work? Hollywood is like the MMO industry - once someone is a proven success (which has a very low bar) they get to stick around. I also suspect that Hollywood writers are very flaky and tend to flame out or turn prima-donna, so guys who can reliably turn in a script on time and listen to studio notes get work, even if their work isn't particularly good. Basically go with the devil you know. As far as this movie - once it became clear that Snyder was in charge of the whole universe I had zero interest. His sensibilities are so far away from anything I like. I'm expecting all these DC movies to be Snyder shit-fests, so if even one is half-decent they will have performed above expectation.
