That joker outfit is perfect for the guy on your list that likes to send random women dick pics and thinks rape jokes are funny. It will go well with the knife he always carries and shows to everyone at school.

Is Suicide Squad coming out soon? Because I can't remember any movies in the past that have advertised this hard for this long. There's seriously been about 100 posters and tie-ins, and the movie still looks dire.

It's coming out in August, yeah.

And to be fair the promotion for Civil War was about this omnipresent, it just didn't have the insane rapey angle with all the Jared Leto business that makes Suicide Squad stick out as even worse.

It's his chain wallet which is attached to his "civvies" (and yes, he calls his regular clothes "civvies") - a button-up with flames on them and JNCO jeans, with a trenchcoat.

August is not 'soon' considering this poo poo's been getting pimped hard since before BvS came out in May. Thats like four solid months of extremely obnoxious push.

What kind of had does he wear? You think its a trilby he is always correcting people on when they call it a fedora, or an actual fedora, or maybe an actual top hat or stetson.

Other than Leto's face being plastered everywhere, i've not been annoyed by the marketing for Suicide Squad at all. Well, there was the suspended yoga scene in the first trailer with Harle which I felt was "this is really popular with the kids, lets have it in the movie" not unlike Sony suggesting that they incorporate Tough Mudder into Spider-Man movies.

Yeah, Asylum's business model is making movies for next to no money and making GBS threads them out there direct-to-video or maybe made-for-TV if they're lucky (Sharknado and Mega Shark Vs. are Asylum movies). They usually have heavy sexual content that the movies they're knocking off are lacking. A girl I went to high school worked for them for a bit. She also had a bit part in "18-Year-Old Virgin" where she commented on a guy's sexuality and penis size. (I was drunk and looking through Netflix and turned on a bad movie. Shut up.)

Here you go, dummies.
Watched the extended version. My main issue is superman asks once for help and immediately starts beating the poo poo out of batman, basically starts tossing him around like a rag doll. Superman knows he can't be hurt by the initial weapons but continues to be an rear end in a top hat and forgets why he is there. Batman on the other hand should have gassed him first and then used whatever weapons he had handy and made up to be traps.

Aside from a few shots it honestly looks a lot worse. Color plays a big part in BvS's cinematography and without it things blend together or convey very different images than the film intends.

True. The way the film was shot and looked was amongst the very least of its numerous issues. I thought it looked just fine. Watchmen and 300 too.

To be fair, they mostly were called "mom and dad" and "our parents". They did call eachother by name in the scenes from the parents' perspective but the kids didn't really refer to their parents by name much.
