SUICIDE SQUAD: David Ayer Says His Heart Breaks For Jared Leto As Much Of His Joker Work Remains "Unseen"

@regularmovieguy - 2010s.

@regularmovieguy - "The portrayal of men in Gotham"? Who has a problem with that? About 98% of the criminals in Gotham are guys and about 100% of them suck. Ask Batman.

@regularmovieguy - It's a bad movie without bringing identity politics into it. Just because it's better than SS doesn't mean it's good.

@soberchimera

What makes it a “bad” movie? Curious to know. I’d say it’s a meh movie but definitely not outright bad.

@soberchimera

"Gee let's see, the plot was stupid, they screwed up the characters of Cassandra Cain, Zsasz, and Black Mask"

Zsasz and Black Mask have such depth in the comics, right?

"Harley commits an act of domestic terrorism and gets away scott free"

Comic book movie...she blew up Ace Chemicals. Really if you're going to complain about people getting away in cbms then this isnt the genre for you. Some would prolly consider Batman a domestic terrorist. Lol. If you want hyper realism it's a miracle you like any cbms

"Rosie Perez's voice"

How old are you?

"no character development for Harley"

It's her movie - if you didn't see her arc in the movie then you weren't paying attention. At all.

" anticlimactic ending"

Black Mask getting blown to pieces? I disagree but that's your prerogative.

"trying too hard to be Deadpool"

That would be comic accurate though so...not sure where your angle is there. Makes sense for a Harley movie to be like that.

@regularmovieguy - Look, if you like the movie, congradu[frick]inglations, I personally thought it was garbage, you can nitpick my reasons all you want, welcome to the internet, people are going to have different opinions than you.

@soberchimera - MEH, Zsasz was ten times more entertaining than in Batman Begins... he was demented and weird.. in a creepy, unsettling and even scary but also funny in a messed up way... what else do you want?

Black Mask was a dick out to prove himself for nothing more than his hatred of his family... which is Roman Sionis basically... and has been... and he was successfully amassing his presence in Gotham til the Birds of Prey coming together.
Plus, again, massively entertaining. They managed to throw some camp while making him still legitimately disturbing and unsettling.

Which actually brought a satisfactory enough reason as to why they all came together...

Also, no... Harley blowing up Ace Chemicals is what brought everyone after her...
Also, it's Gotham... while noteworthy, it's not the most irregular thing in Gotham and in a world of things like Superman, Zodd, Steppenwolf... the government is preoccupied.

They absolutely didn't portray Cassandra correctly though and I'll give that... though she's also in a workable area, so it's not such a big deal to me. I'll admit I'm not big on her comics enough to be bothered.

@Slotherin - I wrote that out of order... Sionis brought a satisfactory enough reason for all the characters to come together.
