Unconfirmed death SPOILERS I read elsewhere.

The death count is Rick Flagg, El Diablo, Slipknot, Killer Croc, Enchantress, Tattooed Man, and Johnny Frost (Joker's henchman). Apparently everybody else survives.

A certain image board I'm not sure we're supposed to even mention here.

However, now contradictory reports indicate Killer Croc survives instead, so for all we know they're all just shooting their mouths off.

i'm so late to the most recent trailer, but after finally watching it, i have to say it was absolutely hilarious. I'm looking forward to this film much more than previously, and regardless of how well-made it is, it'll probably be a lot of fun.

My standard rule is to treat anonymous reports roughly equal to my own idle speculation. If it doesn't at least come from a fairly reputable source, I'm not too interested.

Plus given that the movie is still about 8 months away, there might not even be a real final death list. I'm not sure if they are planning any reshoots, but even if they aren't with a little clever cutting a character who might of had an unambiguous death scene filmed might wind up having their death made far more ambiguous, or just surviving outright.

That list doesn't really surprise me much, if at all. Just the right mix of unimportant and main characters to work for a good plot.

This new Joker looks very well done. Though he isn't seen with the main group much is this how it is in the comics where Joker does his own thing while everybody else has their own mission?

[up] Joker has never been a member of the Squad. It's likely that he's here as a supporting antagonist and to provide context for Harley Quinn's character.

Joker could very well be the main antagonist of the film.

I also think that the film's going to revolve around Harley shrugging off Joker's influence, with Joker trying to use her to dispatch with the rest of the squad.

I actually think that's pretty horrible. *shrugs*

Trailers set to clips from the DCAU don't really work, IMO.

Nah, Deathstroke hates him(now you're wondering how that happened but I'll just say one of Deadpool's creators decided to bring in another Earth's version of Deathstroke for a story and the new Deathstroke was always stopped from saying his real name before going back to his Earth).

Harley breaks the fourth wall? I've never read her comics, so I am not sure how true that is.

Deathstroke hates him

... and? Most supervillains with children either hate them or are hated by them.

[up]Classic Harley, not so much, but the post Flashpoint version, who is pretty much a wholly different character... yeah.

To quote myself in the other thread, I believe it goes thus:

For the sake of curiosity, I did a brief research and compared the character's histories.

Deadpool technically came first (Deadpool first appeared in 1991 and Harley in 1992-1993), but only started developing his current personality in his 1993-94 miniseries (which is around the same time Harley's personality also started to get fleshed out more properly) and fully became the fourth wall breaking loon (beforehand he was a jokester, but seemed entirely unaware of the fourth wall more of a Deadpan Snarker than a Cloud Cuckoo Lander) we know and love in his 97 miniseries with Joe Kelly.

So their early development was more or less simultaneous and neither can really be considered to rip off one another, but Harley's metafictional and fourth-wall breaking shenanigans seem to have started around 2013, after DC's New 52 (in what I suspect was an attempt to Follow the Leader with Deadpool's massive surge in popularity after 2009) and acquired a much more Deadpool-ish zany vein after that.

So both are original characters in their own right, but Harley's recent portrayal seems to owe quite a bit to Deadpool.

[up][up][up]Harley Quinn in her solo book in post Flashpoint breaks the forth wall.

She even had an issue zero where she said she wanted to be in a comic book, she starts dreaming and multiple artist start talking to her and drawing her in different styles. She even got mad because Jim Lee did one page but it was a reprint.
