I think I'm less convinced by Joker's voice, based on that trailer than I am of Harley's... but then, it's hard to judge a whole characterization based on what he says in it.

After watching it again... I cant tell if Joker has a British, or really bad Texas/Southern accent....

Holy crap theres a bunch of good looking movies coming out all at once! I think I might like Jared Leto add the joker. He seemed rather well off in that scene

I can't judge Joker by his voice because Mark Hammil is his voice to me. Will have to see more of him to judge since he does so very little there. Harley's voice seemed alright, but she doesn't really do much there either, despite her being most of the trailer. Maybe they should rename the movie Harley Quinn and the Suicide Squad because that's what they made it look like.

I just can't see Harley without a thick Brooklyn (or Queens?) accent.

Let's be honest, Harley is the one everyone wants to see. I'd argue the film has a few too many characters though - it reminds of me of the dwarfs in The Hobbit (who's names I can't remember).

I still can't get over that Grill on the Joker

Agreed. I remember they rhymed mostly and it starts with....... Borin? Oh I'm sorry, that was what I thought of those movies

I rather like this joker look it's just different enough to be it's own look with out a total overhaul

Casting Leto is a stroke of genius. He's immortal, so he can play the role forever.

I'm not a big fan of the Joker's teeth but it isn't a make or break sort of aesthetic choice for me. If they are explained as repairs from having been punched in the face a lot by Batman it will make a lot of sense though.

I'm sold.

Looks better than Bat vs. Supes....

I'll watch it.

Stop posting while you're drunk!

Also, did I see Batman in a few of those scenes?!?

Sure looked like it. Maybe that shows why the Joker has caps on his teeth...

Yep, Batman was hanging on to the top of Harley's car (the pink one, obviously!), and apparently that scene will be a proper Batmobile chase, some footage leaked a while back of that.

I'm still not sold on this, though; it looks dangerously close to a generic "'ard nuts blow gak up" movie with just the DC label tacked on. I could be wrong, but of all the comic book stuff we've seen in the last few days, this is the one I'm least excited for.

Yeah, Ben Affleck is on IMDB for this film. Be interesting to see how they tie it in (or if they do). But honestly it really does look better than Bat vs. Supe which feels way to busy and crammed in where as this doesn't feel that way from the previews.

I think the problem with that Is that whilst it works for a cartoon, where everything is a bit exaggerated, it would be a bit over the top for someone to spend an entire film talking like that.

Don't get me wrong, BTAS Harley is the voice I hear whenever I read her in a comic, but even I would struggle to take it seriously if the accent appeared on screen.

After several viewings, you can hear the accent when she says, "Hope ya got insurance!" but it is definitely toned down.

EDIT - And I believe it is a Brooklyn accent

I was hoping Jabberjaw would be in this film.

I really enjoy the comics, but I'm not sold on this movie yet.

As I understand it they will show how Joker and Harley got caught, thus the Batman on top of the car. There are a few seconds of people in Batman costumes shooting up stuff, but that isn't Batman.

There is also talk about how Superman showing up has increased the crazies in the trailer, so it looks like they are going to reference all the movies right out of the gate.

I will give that I like the darker look of this and Bats vs. Alien in Tights vs. the Marvel stuff.

Wait!

You think Batman vs. Superman looks 'crowded' when compared to the cast of The Suicide Squad?!?

I thought I asked you to stop posting while drunk!

IMO, seeing him in "action" with them, I like them a bit better than the first promo photos... I just wish they were solid metal replacements, not a "ring" of metal around each tooth. It's not a deal breaker for me, but it does at least seem to fit with the vibe of the movie.

I think the "BvS is too crowded!" and "WB is rushing!" things have just taken on lives of their own on internet forums. Somehow 3 supers in one movie is a mess in one instance, but 6 or 10 or 20 (or however many will appear in Civil War) is in other instances. I dunno.

SS will almost certainly give more time to and put more focus on a few members of the team -- Deadshot, Harley and Flagg figure here -- just as WW will be more of a guest star in BvS before getting her own feature just ahead of JL's arrival.

Anyway, I think a movie devoted to villains is awesome, and a real differentiator for the DCCU. Bad vs. evil...bring it on!

Its an interesting concept if they play up the bad guy vs. bad guy and not "dumb down" the bad guyness of the Suicide Squad.

And if it sells, then surely Marvel will pencil in a Thunderbolts movie... Please? Please?

If what we saw in the trailer was in any way accurate... I don't think we need to worry much about the bad guys being "dumbed down" or made "more gooder". I mean, Harley apparently slaughters a bunch of SWAT looking cop dudes in her cell...

I'm more intrigued with this concept. It would be interesting to see them being very bad against Joker/minions, really going full Monty as it were on the bad guy front.

i'm leery they might make them more of a dirty dozen concept.

It'll be OK (or the 'same') either way!
