    The suit looks much better than it did in Batshite vs Supershite.

    It looks like DC's figured out how to make a Wonder Woman movie.

    So basically Superman is going to do a Luke Skywalker and not be in most of the film. :sigh:

    I'm so grateful the light is on her face and not the breasts. If it were, would the 13 year old boys watch the movie?

    both trailers have me giddy, and also resentful that they didn't figure these things out before they made BvS

    Every time I see "BvS" I think, "WTF does Buffy the Vampire Slayer have to do with any of this?"

    The DCEU is indeed a Frankenstein slap together, but I'm confident when they stitch it up, and zap it, it'll walk, and learn to talk, and read, and be a gentleman.

    JL trailer was cool but the kid playing Flash is so similar to the Gustin version we may as well have just HAD it. And they gave him the same lightning effects as Quicksilver instead of Barry's yellow lightning, so there's gonna be tards who think they just copied Marvel.

    How you can tell that from a such tiny portion of footage is beyond me. :lol:

    Actually, I'm not just going by that. During a recent set visit a journo said that Cavill was nowhere to be seen, including on the storyboards. Sounds to me like he's probably not in, at the very least, the first half of the picture.

    Superman shows up in Act Three. Guarantee he'll be there for the climactic battle.

    Oh, no way they'll let Superman have a shorter stint than Wonder Woman did in BvS.
    Especially with MoS sequels not being nailed down as certain.

    BvS did set up a quick resurrection after an emotionally senseless 'death'. He'll be there within 15 minutes :shrug:

    I actually don't think so.

    We may see "hints" of him early on (an empty grave, perhaps), but I think he won't appear as an active participant in the movie until the third act.

    My guess? The bad guy will retrieve Superman's body for some nefarious purpose, and part of the Justice League's mission will be to rescue/free Superman. Once they get him free, the climactic battle will begin in earnest.

    Robin Williams didn't appear in the credits of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and yet he's in the movie.

    Swamp Thing test animation for live-action "Justice League: Dark".
    If they're willing to leak it, I guess it's dead. :(

    Seems Suicide Squad might be another DC turkey....

    Variety – Peter DeBruge

    “For reasons beyond Ayer’s control, he’s beholden to the corporate vision of other recent DC adaptations, most notably Zack Snyder’s sleek-surfaced and oppressively self-serious riffs on the Superman legend. While it would have been amazing to see the director (fresh off WWII-set suicide-mission movie “Fury”) push his own nothing-to-lose anarchic boundaries, he’s ultimately forced to conform to Snyder’s style, to the extent that Suicide Squad ends up feeling more like the exec producer’s gonzo effects-saturated Sucker Punch.”

    The Hollywood Reporter – Todd McCarthy

    “The action of the film’s middle and latter stages is largely set in a gloomy murk that recalls far too many previous dour sci-fi/fantasy films, and by that point, vestiges of the opening stretch’s humor and snap long have fallen by the wayside. Suicide Squad may not quite commit harakiri, but it certainly feels like it’s taken far too many sleeping pills.”

    IGN – Joshua Yehl

    “Suicide Squad is a decidedly different flavor than Batman v Superman. It goes for subversive, funny and stylish, and it succeeds wildly during the first act. But then the movie turns into something predictable and unexciting. It plods on, checking off boxes on a list of cliched moments and meaningless plot points, making you wonder where all the razzle-dazzle went.”

    io9 – Germain Lussier

    “The movie [is] a motley amalgamation—a strange blend of different tones, stories ,and pacing all mashed into something that has cool individual elements, but never really comes together… Some of the action is fun, some of the characters are great, and it does reach some nice emotional peaks. But it never feels like a true, cohesive movie. It feels a B-movie—an action-packed one, but a B-movie nonethelesses—that just happens to be set in the DC Universe.”

    USA Today – Brian Truitt

    “Like The Dirty Dozen for the Hot Topic generation, the team gets in-your-face introductions and things just grow more mental from there. But compared to its ilk, Suicide Squad is an excellently quirky, proudly raised middle finger to the staid superhero-movie establishment.”

    Chicago Tribune – Michael Phillips

    “Meanwhile we have this thing, this garish, overstaffed, overstuffed, blithely sadistic corporate directive disguised as a PG-13 summer movie for all ages… Folks, this is a lousy script, blobby like the endlessly beheaded minions of the squad’s chief adversary. It’s not satisfying storytelling; the flashbacks roll in and out, explaining either too much or too little, and the action may be violent but it’s not interesting.”

    CutPrintFilm – Chris Evangelista

    “Suicide Squad is weird. And it’s an interesting kind of weird: awash in black magic, gooey eyeball monsters, and Escape From New York-like explosive neck devices. It has great potential to be a silly, pop-art infused action film in the vein of Guardians of the Galaxy. Or perhaps it could’ve been something darker — a character drama about people who do bad things suddenly learning to do good. Or, as it turns out, it could just be an excuse to have a bunch of costumed actors wander around, shoot guns and crack flat jokes. Ayer has constructed a monumental mess here — a film so haphazardly put together that you get the impression that it was edited using a blender on the “ice crush” setting.”

    Overall the outlook isn’t that great, but Warner Bros. is at least celebrating the more positive reviews with two new accolade TV spots, which include quotes from Cinema Blend, FOX-TV, ABC-TV and more. Check them out below (via ComicBook.com ).​
