Suicide Squad Movie

One of the leaked emails in that Sony hack was a CEO saying "Female superhero movies don't sell" and citing films like Catwoman and Elektra as evidence.

Judging from the plans for the Spider-Man franchise revealed through those leaks, the Sony people was clearly into very powerful and harmful drugs at that time.

Looks like they're filming a motorcycle chase scene for HQ.

I wonder if the execs think that's because of a lack of interest from other groups or the fact that superhero films have generally tended to be extremely white and extremely male. It's slowly changing, as you see with the ending to Age of Ultron and Marvel finally announcing Black Panther and Captain Marvel and DC doing Aquaman and Wonder Woman, but for much of its history it's been a genre mostly about white guys.

In fact people have noted that Suicide Squad is almost ridiculously diverse for a superhero movie.

Pretty sure all of Suicide Squad will be online long before the movie is out at this rate

That might be WB's plan because the more leaks they have the more people keep talking about it. They hardly had any leaks for Batman v Superman and that is because those two characters are really popular so their names do a lot of the advertising. The general audience doesn't know of the Suicide Squad so the leaks gain awareness for the movie.

At this point I'm convinced that every 'leak' is actually expertly planned.

*NEW* Official look at Jared Leto's Joker◊

Those teeth will haunt my nightmares.

I like it.

I know the tattoos themselves were an homage to the character's creation, but interesting that the first images evoked a thuggish inmate Joker whereas this one is more Evil Is Stylish. If I had to guess, I'd figure that the Joker will have both looks in the firm- ragged when in prison and stylish when out/escaped.

Not enough purple.

On a more serious note, I am not convinced by the image. I didn't quite feel like Joker to me. That said, the poor lighting doesn't help. I probably want to see him in motion before judging.

This not good enough for you? His exaggerated movements never fail to make me laugh.

I know a lot of people saying that his mannerisms are similar to the version of the Joker in Batman: RIP.

Yes, it certainly looks purpler.

Still hard to judge the overall performance. Body language looks great, but face is important too, and we still haven't got a good look at that, have we? It still troubles me we haven't seem him smiling yet.

Um, I think he's grinning in that white suit pic, in a skeleton-grin way, at least.

Many pictures here.

Maybe being Captain Obvious here, but the pictures/scenes with Harley pointing a gun at him are probably flashbacks from when she was still normal/right before he Hannibal Lectured her into following him, right?

Thanks. I guess one smile ^note or two? Not entirely sure is better than nothing. I will say that his smiling picture is the best picture there (the 7th picture, I mean).

Probably not when she was "normal" since she shot a guy point blank without batting an eye, but soon after Joker convinced her to be his squeeze. Most likely a flashback, yeah.

New images from the set.

Car chase in what's probably a flashback.

As much as I personally didn't like the movie, for there to be a change there would need to be an equivalent to Bridesmaids. Up until that point, most female comedy movies were relegated to Rom-Coms, but Bridesmaids proved that there was an audience for Female-led Rated-R Comedies.

Captain Marvel will need to do exceptionally well for Studios to no longer come up with bullshit rationalizations.

Wonder Woman is up first. We'll see how that goes.

Looks like the Nightmare of Mensis has finally expanded all the way into the DC universe .

New Image from the set.◊

Bunch of stuff near the bottom of the page.
