People trying to find logic or second guess what the joker would/should do miss the point of the character to me.

questioning the writer. some stuff the writers did was no good (Besides the studio butchering the movie) they were given very little time to make the movie and it shows.

Please, help me here. Why in the post credit scene Waller...

Spoiler:

... asked Bruce for help? I thought she was a powerful enough persona not to be needing Batman's help...

1. Nicholson (the most realistic yet intimidating)
2. Ledger (middle ground)
3. Leto (cartoonish yet creepy)

Do not care for 60s stuff.

I think you got it mixed up bud, Wayne was asking Waller for help.

Spoiler:

She had the meta human files he needs to track down the JL

That video is a great example of what is so common with the millennial internet culture. Because when it comes to films the endgame is not to be entertained or to enjoy them but to rather gain notoriety by getting your face out their in a video like this. Now the girls in that clip actually are pretty funny, they had go rhythm and comedic timing. It's just that these videos literally cannot exist unless movies really are as bad as they say they are. And if a movie isn't sufficiently bad enough then they have to make it so.

Almost everything that they "hilariously" mocked was an issue that was actually asked and answered on film. But can anyone's ego survive NOT manufacturing fodder for these videos? Calling out Boomerang for using...boomerangs is no different than calling out Hawkeye for using arrows, Batman for using *little boomerangs* that are shaped like bats, and so on. And that's why these will never impress me.

The idea that if you flood a video with 20 invalid criticisms then the sheer volume alone will somehow guarantee credibility and allow a fame seeking millennial to gain status in the world. And I know that it isn't just millennials, but it seems like they pick on fabricated plot holes the most. I just think it'd be cool if they saved this shtick for valid criticisms.

Take Boomerang for example. Making fun of his superhero weapons is dumb and not very clever. But Amanda Waller's claim that he "faced a metahuman and lived to tell the tale?" Okay if getting your ass kicked by The Flash is your criteria for joining the squad then I guess they should also enlist the idiot robber from the convenience store in BvS. Waller should have said something like "He faced a metahuman and kept his mettle, even has a score to settle on the outside, I can use that" or something to that effect. The point is yeah you can pick apart these films but that isn't anything new. What would be new is not padding a narrative with a bunch of made up crap just to promote yourself for once.

I know but she wouldn't just give it to him, right?
I tho she asked him for something in return...

She did, she stated that the Midway City disaster could be traced back to her so Bruce promised that she would be "under his protection" if she gave him the files.

they didn't really go into the Leverage he has on Waller, besides her covering up Midtwon being halfway blown to hell. and bruce "protecting" her from public backlash.
- He knows about the Squad which is supposed to be hush hush, maybe he threatened to expose her for the files? that's kind of the jist I got from it, especially when.

Spoiler:

She says "you should stop working nights."

Like saying, if you expose my dirty laundry I'll expose yours

Just like with HISHE and Honest Trailers, which are pretty funny, they're not real criticisms, they're half-thought criticisms thrown into a bottomless paper bag for the sake of comedy, yes they are funny, but they're not real criticisms and should not be taken as such.

Almost everything that they "hilariously" mocked was an issue that was actually asked and answered on film.

I assumed as much.

The idea that if you flood a video with 20 invalid criticisms then the sheer volume alone will somehow guarantee credibility and allow a fame seeking millennial to gain status in the world. And I know that it isn't just millennials, but it seems like they pick on fabricated plot holes the most.

that's the problem with the entire audience today, not just millennials though, I think audiences in general today are terrible.

I just think it'd be cool if they saved this shtick for valid criticisms.

No can't do, gotta produce content weekly.

Take Boomerang for example. Making fun of his superhero weapons is dumb and not very clever. But Amanda Waller's claim that he "faced a metahuman and lived to tell the tale?" Okay if getting your ass kicked by The Flash is your criteria for joining the squad then I guess they should also enlist the idiot robber from the convenience store in BvS.

Not that I'm defending this movie since I haven't seen it, and I still don't like almost anything I've seen of it , but I agree with you on everything you've just said.

Not a single film ever, survives today's trend of; as you call; fabricated criticism.

Excellent post Khev.

I watched that video yesterday and thought it was funny, but the points they bring up are futile.

Ryan Gosling would had been better because he would not have turned him into a getto thug or send his poor castmates used condoms or dead pigs

I desperately wanted Ryan for Deadshot. He was AWESOME in Drive. Cold, cruel, calculating, cynical, and brutal. Just have him grow a goatee and put a cigarette in his mouth. Pure Floyd Lawton.

It's up there with the IM Nick Fury one for me. Really awesome stuff to finally see these shared U characters get some love. I was happy to see DC getting into this trend. Not too mention they save us a 10 minute wait by putting it halfway through the credits.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)

1) I think it’s highly problematic a media outlet such way Batman-News.com is sourcing someone’s impressions posted on a tumblr account as some sort of fact - when no direct quotes from Jared were ever posted.
2) The 9 second “**** em” snapchat video had been posted identifying that that was Jared’s response to his contract asking he not rock climb while filming. That was all it was in regards to. If a media outlet wants to take it out of context to get people to click on an article that has no direct basis beyond someone’s impressions - that’s on them.
3) It’s no secret Jared feels disappointed in what ended up being the theatrical release of Suicide Squad. He’s discussed this repeatedly in interviews during the promotional tour in London. This is the same sentiment he shared in moments during Camp Mars - however he did say he had a lot of fun creating the joker and needs more joker as well.
4) I never meant or wanted my impressions over hearing Jared’s disappointments in the Suicide Squad editing to be taken out of context. It was interesting to hear him be so honest and open and while I captured 16 seconds of that particular moment on snapchat and shared it - there were dozens of people in that room videotaping minutes and possibly the entire event - as a request had never been made to not record it.
If that request had been made - I never would’ve recorded a second of it. I personally just really loved his vibe in that second, being about following his passions no matter what, that I wanted to share it.
The fact this has happened has made me very apprehensive over sharing any additional impressions or thoughts on Camp Mars. Which is unfortunate because it was a very entertaining weekend, Jared was lovely & lively, and I wanted to discuss so much.

from the same tumblr all the click bait **** articles have been sighting.
