Some demon or something has a city on lockdown and the Enchantress merges with it when they get in there and becomes the big bad. The Joker is a side character and his gang are trying to get Harley back and it SOUNDS like the warriors but instead of being cool it's just awful.

Nerds have had a boner for a live action Harley forever, and the one they finally get was cast because Will Smith was like "Uh, How about hiring this girl I've been porking on the side?" and the producer is all "Whatever makes Will happy".

I thought she got hired because of her of obscenely huge clown mouth and her nude scenes in Wolf of Wall Street.

Also, why would you go see Suicide Squad to see Margot Robbie in shorts when she's completely full frontal in Wolf of Wall Street?

Nope. He actually has been banging her for a while, and he did recommend her for the part. The only thing they never made expressly clear is if he "Recommended" her or "If you want me to do this movie you'll hire her too" recommended her.

There was reporter Clarke investigating the Batman that never went anywhere.

There was Lex trying to get government support for his anti-superman weapon from the senator lady that never went anywhere.

From what I saw in the trailer this is probably completely accurate. The one thing that make me laugh was when the "badass army chief" guy is talking about how if they annoy him he'll kill them and she just says that she's pretty annoying all the time. I completely botched the joke but I've also mostly forgotten it.

Edit: Wait, the Joker is a side plot? With all the advertising and Leto supposedly going crazy and being weird annoying I assumed he would be important.

Saw BvS last week. It's worse than batman and robin because at least that movie had good old schwarzenegger belting out hilarious one liners.

Wonder Woman had no reason to be there at all.

That scene in which supes stops the batmobile is ridiculous because superman totally ignores all the rockets and gunfire being shot off by lex's merc thugs in addition to not even remotely trying to figure out what is going on.

If lex was just going to weaponize the kryptonite why did he need batman at all or did he want batman to steal the kryptonite? This made no sense.

Why not hit superman with the kryptonite gas then smash him up with sonic waves and gunfire? Why use those tactics before you weaken him if your goal was to kill him?

I like Harley Quinn because she was a fun and cool character that was new and exclusive to the generally excellent Batman: The Animated Series while I was in grade school/junior high. She added a bit of extra meat to the Joker's character by being a recurring goon that was also his love interest with her own personality. It made the Joker a little more human to see him care for someone, but it also reminded you that he was a giant tool when he belittled, abused or abandoned Harleen. Harley was definitely caught up in an abusive relationship, but she didn't always take Mistah J's bullshit and she had plenty of episodes where she got time to hog the spotlight for a bit. She was also tied to the setting reasonably well, being a former psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum who got too wrapped up in studying her patients that she ended up on the other side of the bars.

At this point I had stopped questioning why anything happened, but this is a good point, why the gently caress doesn't superman see the batman chasing dudes with rocket launchers and he decides to stop batman instead of thugs, at this point it's well known batman beats up thugs

Supes doesn't even give one poo poo about the fact that there is a gang of highly skilled private military mercenaries blowing poo poo up that have just gotten away. (These mercs of course are the same mercs who set him up in Africa)

I'm just baffled how anyone could come out of the editing process here and say "yep, this looks fine... what a great sequence!"

The Joker is the only villain in the entire movie that has any sort of wide public recognition factor so they had to push him really hard otherwise people might not have realised this is a DC movie. Harley Quinn is somewhat known but nowhere near as much, Killer Croc might have a teeny bit of recognition thanks to the Batman animated series, the rest might as well be characters they invented for the movie as far as non-comicbook readers are concerned.

I'm guessing that Batman will barely be in the movie at all and the brief glimpses we've seen in the SS trailers are flashbacks and will be almost his entire screentime

This was easily some of the dumbest poo poo I've ever seen in a movie and I watch sompote sands movies on a regular basis:

This is something that still makes me think the movie needed something akin to a World's Finest moment that sort of flips the scales on Superman and Batman in that scene.

Chasing a truck carrying Kryptonite, have a chunk of it laying there during the first Batman/Superman meeting. It's not enough to actually hurt Superman a lot, but it could have created a moment where Batman and Superman find themselves both stunned for the first time in conflict with one another. It's enough of a stun to scare Superman for the first time in terms of his physical vulnerability in the human world, it staggers and slows him down enough to have to pause long enough where Batman can get away and he cannot focus on tracking down the truck. It gives Batman some radical insight into the value of need for the entire Kryptonite stockpile as a weapon while also realizes he needs to get the hell out of there while he can because he's not ready to go to war at that moment against the alien.

Actually it's good that DC/WB is aping Marvel/Fox now because Batman is a naturally humorous character unlike Thor, Tony Stark, and Deadpool.

What Marvel needs to do is make Spiderman a big wet blanket gloomy gus like Superman.

Spiderman swings in, kick his leg straight through Vulture killing him instantly. As the shoot cranes upward we see a single tear rolling down Peter's face.

TBF, Deadshot's mostly used as the "gun guy" these days in DC universe, apropos to the Punisher in Marvel comics. Wanted stole all of his tricks really, since the original concept of that character was as a homage to Deadshot.
