Tank Girl was pretty pale too.

You got me checking.


Not nearly that much.
Harley is albino-pale, or rather “I'm so goth I put withe makeup literally all over my body” pale.

The reason one would compare the released photos of Harley to Tank Girl are not because Harley looks EXACTLY like Tank Girl.
Posters are essentially saying that Robbie as Harley are putting them in the mindset of Tank Girl; because the look is essentially "generic punk/Goth".

Killer Croc looks really great. I'm glad that they upgraded Slipknot's outfit. Really, the cast looks great and I can't wait to see the film.

Yes, what Kan said.

Enchantress was pretty disappointing.

I'm pretty sure he's talking from the movie because they are pretty frigging spot on

Yes, this was pretty much my mental image.

None of the images I've seen so far look that appealing, but I won't write it off yet because snapshots often look way worse than how it ends up on-screen, and this film is trying a take on comic books that's way different to what we've seen before.

Whats the different take Sebs? I'm not that familiar with this one.

Still no super-white skin. And the hair are tank-girly, while Harley's hair are more… girly?
I want to watch this movie though.

I don't like Harly's hair on photoes at all. What with this paly colours pink and light blue? It's like they could not make theit mind if they should leave her blond or go with Red/Blue hair from Suicide Squad comics. And btw I like her hair in Suicide Squad Comics.

Eh... the only thing I see is Britta going through a phase again, not Harley.
They Britta'd it.

They at least could have done both Joker and her better. Without the horrifying tryhard edgy tattoos.

Captain Boomerang...guess they couldn't decide whether he should be a supervillain or Mega Man boss!

Both pale? Check.
Both blond? Check.
Both wearing skimpy outfits? Check.
Both have tattoos everywhere you look? Check again.


Yup. They look nothing alike.

I think just about everything looks great. I'm excited for this one. I don't want every superhero movie to be an empty-headed laugh fest.

So far it looks pretty laughable to me. Not seeing how this one is "different." Can someone fill me in?

I mean, it's not even out yet. So we can only really pass cursory judgment based on leaked photos. It was mentioned earlier in this thread that photo stills of on-the-set shots can be very misleading. These shots were intended to be dynamic, not as portraits. I'll wait for a trailer or clip.

First glance at this image, made me think it was Miley Cyrus.

Isn't that the point of suicide squad?

You mean to be DC's Guardians of the Galaxy or something like that?

No...I don't get that impression at all, beyond it being an ensemble film. Harley will probably be funny in a dark way, but I don't think there will be any dance-offs. It's a David Ayer film, after all. And I think it'll feel like a David Ayer film due to WB not being up the butts of their directors as much as Marvel is.


A comment from David Ayer about the film:

“I’m all about real drama, real performance, and real people, so my twist on this is: I’m creating a family, a brotherhood here. I’m creating a very real chemistry and I have this incredible ensemble of actors led by Will Smith, who are basically playing dimensional characters with lives and souls.”

Some comments from Harley's creator, Bruce Timm:

“I’m actually really excited. I just today, just before the show started, saw the first image of Harley Quinn from the Suicide Squad movie, and I thought ‘Whoa. She looks actually pretty cute!’ I was actually kind of worried I thought ‘Oh, she’s going to look really, really bizarre and skanky’ but nah, she’s not too bad. So I’m often mistaken.”

“I just saw the pic like a couple hours ago. It was interesting. I was frankly a little nervous about what Harley would look like, but I thought she looked really cool. So I’m optimistic, we see.”

And some words from Tom Hardy, who dropped out due to a conflict with another film (The Revenant):

“Warner Bros. is my home studio and I love them so I was really bummed out. I wanted to work on that and I know the script is really f***ing alley and I also know what’s gonna happen with The Joker and Harley Quinn in that; I won’t give away too much… it’s f**king alley. And that whole territory is something that I would certainly—I mean, everybody loves The Joker. Everybody loves The Joker. Will Smith is a dope guy, but everybody loves The Joker and that’s gonna, I think, be a very important film for fans.”

(all quotes from Screenrant)

Will Smith and dimensional characters doesn't go well together. At all.

He'll be OK - especially as he's part of an ensemble here.

He's received two Oscar nominations, so that's complete nonsense.

I actually think he's a great choice for the role, but then I've actually seen him in things other than Men in Black and Independence Day.

A Villain movie may be better TBH.

He has to up his game. I am Legend, I, Robot, After Earth...utter trash. ESPECIALLY the latter. Terribly written, terribly directed, terribly acted.

...and by god, I swear he'll somehow try to squeeze his talent-free son in.

So, you're saying he needs to go back to his "glory days" of Independence Day?? maybe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

It's an ensemble cast of villains, basically. It's not a huge leap in to new territory, but the world of comic book movies moves real slow. It took about two decades from Superman to X-Men to finally get a movie that treats its subject matter with proper respect. And it took about another decade to finally get soemthing that wasn't an origin story or a sequel to an origin story, when The Avengers gave us a team up story.

That doesn't mean it's going to be good (and nothing in the images so far makes me think it will be) but the premise at least promises something new.

What the feth does 'alley' mean? Where do the kids find these words?

He's got no production credits in this one, and I don't think he's had any say in the development of the script. I think he might have learned his lesson, a second time, that just because he's a big star with decent range and great screen presence, it doesn't mean he's know what makes a good movie.

Hopefully.

Yeah I don't get any of the Will Smith concerns. He's a very talented actor and has been in a variety of rolls.

Plus, he's only one member of the team so it's not like he will make or break the film. Only reason he shows up so much for Suicide Squad is because he's the biggest billable name.

His overall 'performance' in AFTER EARTH was really, really bad.

So sometimes it just comes down to a case of 'what have you done for me lately?'
