Suicide Squad

It's really going to be interesting how Joker is used in the film (and how he escapes). The Joker could be the link that connects several other properties of the DC Universe, but we'll see.

I've been looking at these Suicide Squad movie collectibles online, and I've noticed that Leto's Joker has an old-school looking Batman logo tattooed on his left bicep, with what seems to be a knife sticking through it.

Those collectables are superb.

It's just a shame that Leto's Joker is covered in so many tattoos.  If it wasn't for them I'd say he was the most physically perfect Joker we've yet seen on screen (in fact, he'll probably still be that but I could still have done without all the tats).

You have a good point, TDK, I forgot about Leto when I made that post. And speaking of Harley...

I freaking adore her. Gah.

Love the statue of her with one obvious exception I won't mention lol.

Reshoots are reportedly underway to make the film more fun following the criticisms surrounding BvS's "bleakness".

Ehhh I don't know about this. If it makes it better great but this just gives the fanboy critics who want everything to be darker than dark because it makes their balls feel bigger ammunition against the movie. Maybe they shouldn't have publicized it, not that they could have kept it a secret I guess but oh well.

I just hope this doesn't push back the movie at all if they have issues.

Had to make a GIF of a little something Jared Leto posted on his Twitter page.

I have a lot of faith in this film, and judging from the trailers, it already looks like it will feature a fair bit of humour.

But I hope the makers won't feel pressured to shoehorn in anything just to respond to the BvS critics, seeing as Suicide Squad is effectively complete.

I can understand, and even endorse, filmmakers responding to criticisms during writing/pre-production on a film, but it always concerns me when a film undergoes reshoots as it comes across as panicking.

Whatever else one says about Snyder's BvS, I do like his comment 'It is what it is'.  I also like that he did get to make the movie he wanted to make, and that it's presumably his personal vision, which is apparently more than can be said for last year's Fantastic Four, going by the nasty pre-release Tweets posted by its director Josh Trank, in which he attacked the studio.

I don't believe the rumors around the reasons for the re-shoot. But who knows?

Supposedly the reshoots are for something that was planned ages ago. Due to an actors schedule they have only been able to do them now.
