Will Smith should have done Independence Day 2 instead of this if he really wanted to score a big summer blockbuster again.  Especially now that his Deadshot is the reason that he was pulled from Arrow.  Also the confirmation that Deathstroke is in the movie means no more Manu Bennet on Arrow.

Leto is a good choice. I think he could pull it off.

The design is... BAD.

I would have greatly preferred something like this if they were going that route.


Because guess what, that dude was pretty much the real life Joker. Maybe mixed with a little Zasz.

It's too on the nose, but what do you expect from WB/DC at this point?

It really will depend on how Leto plays him, not on the character design.

I don't mind the tats on the body, but the tats on the face really are totally fucking unnecessary. Zack Snyder's taint contains to shit all over the DC movies.

All those tats are straight from the art in the Killing Joke it looks like.

Thank god. I thought I was losing my  damn mind.

Eh. It's just a bunch of repeated HAs.


The KJ ones were much more traditional comic styled lettering.

I don't mind this Joker because I think mainstream comic books are fucking stupid.

Which means I'll love this and a bunch of neckbeards will get super riled up by it. I can't wait.

I never thought it was actually possible to try too hard with the Joker.

I was wrong. Oh, how I was wrong.

Jared Leto was just an ordinary emo singer, till one fateful day, while trying to escape
the long arms of a fangirl, he fell into a vat of irradiated copies of Fat of the Land...

I've got more faith that "Suicide Squad" is at least going to be interesting that a lot of other comic book movies.

And if it doesn't work out, it'll be an interesting failure.

As for the tats: he'll wear a shirt. At least it makes him stand out from previous film Jokers.

Remember how much people bitched about Heath Ledger as the Joker before the Dark Knight released? Ohhhhh, I see.  Yeah, think I'll wait to see more before I write this off.

People did complain that the scars on Ledger's joker were too-subtle and the "grin" was "non-existent," however.

This is a Joker for the modern audience. They have as many stupid tats all over so this one's more 'relatable.'

Neither the Joker or Harley for that matter is not suicide squad. So there is your problem right there. That single point of failure will ALWAYS give you the joker you see now, because the joker is where he doesn't belong.

I learned my lesson doubting Ledger. I'll give Leto all the grace in the world to put up a great performance as the Joker (and he was fantastic in Dallas Buyer's Club anyway, whereas Ledger had done nothing I found particularly notable up to TDK), but when the actual character design is so profoundly bad, it's no longer the actor who is the concern; it's clearly a much bigger problem to do with the writers, director etc. It doesn't instill faith.

Do we even know what the Joker's role is in this? Is he the actual villain, or just there for Harley's back story? Either way, you're all getting too worked up about it. It will be a silly Will Smith movie about a comic that 99% of the world has never heard of.

Personally, I'm excited because SS was one of the only DC comics I read back in the 90's. Always like the Dirty Dozen style setups like Suicide Squad, DV8 from Image I think?
It'll be stupid, but I'll enjoy it.

I'm betting 30% of the characters in that picture die in the first 15 minutes?

Please tell me that's a Cobra extra that wandered over from the set of the next GI Joe movie and not Deadshot. Because fuck me... NO.

Not really liking the civilian PimpShot look either unless it's meant to be an ironic disguise or something. The costumed guy could always be some generic throw-away antagonist that Lawton takes out, I suppose.

I still don't know what would possess them to do this movie early in the release schedule.  You need to establish the majority of the villains and then do Suicide Squad... not introduce them in the squad.

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.
