Suicide Squad - Have you seen it?

[Toby]

Hi guys,

As many of you know, there are some comic-book fans in the team!

Suicide Squad has recently been released and has attracted a variety of different reviews; Some beaming and some not so much.

No one in the community team has been it yet, but has anyone in the community? What did you think? Would you recommend? No spoilers without a tag please

 (SPOILERS for Batman vs Superman below)

Heath Ledger was the best Joker...It was a masterful performance. I have no doubt it was so good due to the fact he was fighting his own demons at the time of filming.

Heath Ledger without a shadow of a doubt. The world lost a great actor.

IMHO, Affleck is the best batman seen on screen yet, by a loooooong margin too.

Nailed it 100%

While I do agree with you, he does upset some batman purists with his actions. Brazen killing being the main issue haha. Although, in The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, Batman is older and has kind of given up on this 'rule'. You can definitely see the influence of the novel in BVS. Ever read it? You'd like it think @viridis

I re-watched BVS (Batman V Superman). It does get a little better with multiple viewings.

@madasaf1sh, does Suicide Squad fit well with the other DC movie(s)?

He may kill, but...
"How many good guys are left... Or stayed that way"
He's an older Bruce Wayne that is still not over his parents murder or as seen in the film, Robin.
20 years patrolling Gotham has left him a broken man inside and Affleck carried that really well.
Next to bales trilogy, Affleck looks proper tough, as if bane decided to put on the suit. Imo he looks more like the batman from all the comics and Arkham knight games to the point the other batmans look a bit feminine.
He nailed it, both broken Bruce Wayne and the true batman and proved a lot of haters wrong, really wrong.

I sure hope we get a flashback of that Joker scene with Robin. Brutal in the comics. I do think that will be the focus of the solo movie: The Red Hood. I'm fine with that

Have you seen Henry Cavill's Instagram post? Very interesting indeed!

Is that real @viridis or fan-made?

[viridis]

Fan made from man of steel promo pics.
But the badge matches perfectly to cavill's post.

@Toby@          Yeah, as a DC comic fan, I think it fits well in the DC verse, and is quite true to the characters in their comic form
