So what do people make of the announcement of the Suicide Squad cast announcement?

http://variety.com/2...hot-1201368867/

DC certainly look like they are putting money behind it with a pretty good cast. The suicide squad definitely has the potential, but I'm unsure how it will work, personally I'd have preferred more of the villains to be established as villains in other films, before switching to anti-hero roles in suicide squad.

Also the Joker in the suicide squad? That's not in the comics is it? I can't see the Joker working as a member of the suicide squad, as he's not really a character with a fear of death, so hopefully he's acting as the antagonist but we will see. I'm still skeptical DC will pull this off.

They are shooting this in my city. So I hopefully will get a look at sets or actors.

I watched assault on arkham a few days ago. I think DC may be striking a nugget here. I havent followed the comics but what i saw of the animated feature sold me on the idea.

I'm not too familiar with this particular cast save leto, smith and hardy. I do think J Leto will make a great joker. The rest im not sure about.

The location fees are murder.
OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

Looks really good. Like the cast, not sure I like Will Smith as a villain....The Joker/Harley Quinn chemistry has to be good for this movie to do well I would assume.

So, Affleck was snapped in photo's in Toronto...and then on the SS set with his Elder-Bruce Wayne hair. So I think it's safe to say that Bruce Wayne at the very least will be in Suicide Squad.

Anyone seen the Suicide Squad animiated film they released not long ago? It'll probably play out like that with Bats on the peripheral

It's be better if the forehead tattoo read, instead of "Damaged" which is silly, "Perfectly Fine".
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

According to DC/WB the image was a promo one, and the Tats and teeth caps are not how his character will look in the film. Set photos seem to support that Leto's Joker is no the Hot topic joke the promo image seems to imply.

Anyone got a link to that Leto pic? I can't find it and no clue where I saw it on. It may have been on 17th Shard but it must have been removed.

First Official Image of the Suicide Squad

Just gotta say, Harley Quinn looks awesome! I'm most excited for this to see an actual depiction of Harley, as she hasn't really shown up in non-cartoon versions of DC stuff ever!

I agree. Out of the whole picture and cast, Harley looks the most spot-on to her comic counterpart. As such, I like it. As far as how she's played, I need her to be sweet and psychopathic. If they pull that off, I'll be happy.

Those are still basically 'cartoon' depictions - or well, animated at least.

This is the first time we get an actual human being playing Harley, so I'm excited to see how she pulls it off.

I agree with QT - there's a lot of ways a real life Harley could go wrong, but if they pull her off well, I'll be super excited. She's my absolute favourite character from all the Batman stuff (old Batman cartoon, the PS3 games, a couple of animated Batman movies I've seen), so I really hope they do her justice, and that picture has me optimistic so far.

The lollypop is a nice touch.

I'm all kinds of sceptical about this movie.... but if they can avoid playing stupid down to the audience, trying to explain every bloody detail (ie: he's Deadshot, he shoots people, shut up and move on...), or spin it into six more movies two spinoffs and a tv series, it could seriously rock. They also need to stay true to the concept... at least half the cast must die, most of them while attempting to betray the Squad. I will accept nothing less.

I admit to some serious old school love for the concept because i have the entire original Yale/Ostrander run in floppie and have reread it multiple times.

I'm reasonably certain that Slipknot and El Diablo are there to be fodder. Possibly Katana too - she's not usually a villain so I can see her being a mole who gets found out and either killed by the team or killed in a backwards sort of redemption arc by trying to save the team (more likely the latter).

Eta: her position outside of the group hug makes me doubly sure that she's not a kosher member of the lineup.
