Watch Now: Suicide Squad Comic-Con 2015 Trailer

[DrOswald]

My interest on viewing this trailer went from non existent (I almost didn't watch the trailer I cared so little) to minor (I might bother checking reviews when it comes out.)

I have never been a big fan of Quinn, and I don't like the look of this version. With one exception nothing else in the entire trailer was notable to me up to and including the joker, not enough was shown to make any sort of sense of it.

The exception is Amanda Waller. I love the character, if they can make a good version of Amanda Waller the entire movie will be worth seeing just for that.

Trailer sum up...

who's that? who's that? oh talking about bad guys... show bad guys... who's that?, who's that? oh Daenerys Targaryen upside in a a cage... lol nope, who's that? who's that? who's that? oh Will smith playing someone but I gotta ask who's that he's playing.... oh looks kinda like Batman riding a car, helicopter crashing in to shit hmmmm is that Daenerys Targaryen looking chick actually Harley Quinn? Oh I think it is... who's that, who's that, oh some more explosions, oh Joker, who's that? who's that, oh Joker again... hmmm Joker trying to be Heath Ledger's Joker, trailer ends.... Youtube loads Superman Vs Batman trailer I sigh and pity DC for trying so hard and have to say when Marvel release a movie trailer the world shits itself when DC release a trailer WB tries it's hardest to stop people from seeing it... really sums the whole DC movie Universe up doesn't it.... oh and who the fuck was that?

It might even be topping the edginess of those pointing out how edgy everyone is being if they're not jizzing over the trailer.

Didn't say anyone had to like it. Hell, I didn't even say that I liked it.

 

[Vigormortis]

If your edge lasts more than four hours, seek medical attention.

I think booze is the answer. Helps 'take the edge off'.

Trailer still does nothing for me, though.

Well, outside of Harley making me smile.

I mean, you'd have to be heartless to not smile...

 

[Chester Rabbit]

I'm just excited for the new Will Smith movie

The Joker: As tempting as it would be to have the Joker as a villain, I don't think he's the big bad we're going to be seeing (or, at least, he won't be the target of the Suicide Squad). Joker's escapades rarely get to Waller-level interest, but he's definitely the kind of person Waller would toss into a room because she was looking for a high body count.

I agree that Joker typically isn't the kind of target Waller and the Squad usually go after, although there was that time he had a nuke, became an agent of the Iranian government and tried to kill all the leaders of the UN.[footnote]http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman:_A_Death_in_the_Family [/footnote] That would be up there. Otherwise, yeah, I would think they would be doing more government wetwork.

As someone not into comics... (before a certain movie, when I see a movie I dig up all the info on past stuff about hero/villain/happening)
Is this movie about several "smaller villains" (suicide squad) getting to work (against their will) together to take down a "bigger badguy" (the Joker)?
If it isn't... what is the premise in short?

Most likely will watch at some point.

Pretty much. Traditionally, the Suicide Squad is a secret/"non-existent" team formed by the US Gov made up of captured supervillans to undertake extremely dangerous (suicidal) missions. The members are usually promised release if/when they survive a number of missions. They are kept under control by some means, usually surgically implanted bombs that can be detonated by their loving, kind-hearted, and all around sweet leader, Amanda Waller.

The Wall is still too small, and about seven years too young, but like anyone is ever going to cast a mid fifties heavyset black woman in anything ever. Sigh.

Deadshot has a moustache not a goatee, if your actor can't pull off a moustache then he is the wrong actor for the job. Tim Olyphant, Josh Brolin, Colin Farrell, and Sam Jackson all have it, Will Smith not so much, but we can't tell if he won't even try.

Captain Boomerang, well as long as he is racist, sexist, lazy, manipulative, vicious, greedy and utterly amoral he will be close enough. The "heart" of classic Suicide Squad.

Rick Flag, meh. Which is a shame.

Slipknot, nah these collars are just a bluff mate, you should run.

I can't totally hate this, but I can't totally get behind it either, as I am such an Ostrander fan boy.

 

[The Madman]

Looks alright, I just hope they don't try making Harley some sort of sympathetic anti-hero sort. Also since when is she one of the 'worst of the worst?'. Now admittedly I don't read the comics or any of that gooblygork, but as I recall she's basically a henchwoman, not really arch-villain material herself.

I mean what are her powers? Being crazy and vaguely athletic?

Don't recognize any of the others. Wasn't Deadshot the villain from Teen Titans? That's kinda neat I guess.

I read that as her referring to Joker not Harley.

 

[Deu Sex]

Looks like crap, to be honest. Who are all these jabronis anyways? Only characters I recognize are Joker, Harley, Killer Croc and Will Smith as Deathstroke (which I personally think is a neat casting choice). All of whom except Will Smith look like they're designed to appeal to 14-year olds who unironically enjoy nu metal. I have no clue who the hell coatman or tattooman are, or why I should be getting hyped for them.

Nah, you're thinking of Deathstroke. Deadshot is a Squad mainstay and has been seen in JLU and Arrow.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Because Idris Elba has to be John Stewart.

obviously

That is an excellent point well made.

I don't think it should warrant 'looking like crap' just because there are characters you don't recognize. I had no idea who the Guardians of the Galaxy were until the movie came around, since they're basically D-level characters, yet the previews made me excited for the movie.

Will Smith is Deadshot, not Deathstroke. Deathstroke is awesome, Deadshot is ...ehh.

Tattooman is El Diablo. Other characters are Captain Boomerang, Slipknot, and Rick Flag.

With band-inspired character names like Slipknot, I'm wondering if DC is starting to take ideas from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. Also that news about Will Smith is disappointing.

 

[TheNaut131]

It looks cool.

Killer Croc should be bigger but...well actually, in the animated series killer croc wasn't THAT big. Also I kinda like the fact they didn't give him this elongated croc face a lot of comics do. Maybe make him a bit bulkier, drop the electro hoody, but overall I like this Croc design.

Fuck everything about the Joker design. Fuck it. Fuuuuuck it. Too loud.

Harley's...eh.

Deadshot looks neat.

I don't know what they're trying to do with Captain Boomerang here. I don't care for his design in this and they honestly have a bit of work to do with his character for this. He's a B-lister honestly and that's only cause he's just apart of that weird gaggle of horribly ill equipped Flash villains. But Arrow made me think he was cool...like really cool.

Seriously, killed a guy before he was even in the room and only ever had to use 2 out of the 8 boomerangs he owns. Guys used em like knives. Guy made boomerangs make more sense than arrows as a weapon. (in TV comic book terms, please don't write me a paragraph on how wrong I am)

Everyone else is...everyone else. One of them is probably just there to blow up and I guarantee it's the tattoo guy.

"Warner Bros. Pictures and our anti-piracy team have worked tirelessly over the last 48 hours to contain the Suicide Squad footage that was pirated from Hall H on Saturday. We have been unable to achieve that goal. Today we will release the same footage that has been illegally circulating on the web, in the form it was created and high quality with which it was intended to be enjoyed. We regret this decision as it was our intention to keep the footage as a unique experience for the Comic Con crowd, but we cannot continue to allow the film to be represented by the poor quality of the pirated footage stolen from our presentation."

Wow, lady. Pouring it on a little thick are we? Three times that you talk about it being stolen/pirated, four if we count that last one where you redundantly double-state that it was stolen. It's like she's trying to guilt trip us over something that someone else was doing. Then again, that does seem to be corporate policy 101: When you can't find the real crooks, blame your customers.

 

[Azure-Supernova]

The main message I'm getting from this trailer is that Harley is a hot, psychotic mess. Katana, Killer Croc and Enchantress got a couple seconds each, Deadshot gets a line or two. But they've transformed Margot Robbie into a sexy pile of harlequin insanity, right down to the shots of her pole dancing and licking a cell bar.

I need to see more before I know if I'm okay with this.

To be fair, Slipknot's (edit: the character) first appearance was in 1984.

 

[Ishal]

I don't care for it. This is the type of comic shit that didn't grab me about comics in the first place.

It feels stupid. Like it exists so people can make crappy tumblr gifs out of it. And cosplay as shitty versions of the characters

It looks like the movie Hot Topic has been saving it's allowance to make since 2000

It looks edgier than a box of razor blades with daddy issues

It warned it's parents what would happen if they didn't get it a pony for Xmas. They should have listened.
