Time for something fun. (Suicide Squad)

I've been looking forward to this one ever since the Comic Con teaser. New (official) trailer came out tonight. Looks great! (Go ahead and go full screen with the trailers. They look much better that way)



And in case you live under a rock and haven't seen it, the Comic Con teaser. (On a side note: I've never wanted to be a prison cell bar so much in my life...)

 

<sigh>

 

Just kidding, of course.

Look. I know everyone has their favorites. But dude, you have to be like... the only guy on the planet who didn't appreciate Ledger's Joker.

Mark Hamill is the voice of the Joker. Absolutely. He's also OLD! And can't appear as the Joker here. I don't mind seeing a different take now and then rather than someone merely aping someone else.

(I happen to agree that Leto's Joker is a tad off putting. But I'm willing to give it a try. I'm more interested in the rest of them anyway for this.)

Besides... everyone knows that the only REAL Joker is Cesar Romero.

I get being set on a certain idea of how things should be (see my Game of Thrones rants). But it also doesn't hurt to just let it go and have fun now and then. THIS movie looks like fun.

(And don't dare whine about Harley's accent. Or outfit. Yes, there's an iconic look and sound to Harley. It's also a CARTOON.)

 

That was intentional, and for a reason.

He was psychotic and a long term user of anti-psychotic meds. Which begs the question: Is the Joker (Ledger's version) scarier because he's ON meds, and still psychotic, or because he's finally off meds that kept him in check?

 

Have to admit, Letos Joker has me skeptical but Ledgers Joker was the best ever, the fact that Blount doesnt like it, confirms to me that it was in fact the best portrayed Joker to date.

The Killing Joke, was the best comic adaption of the Joker, which is why I think I like Ledgers version, it reminds me of that.

 

Well, Batman vs. Superman was... very disappointing. It had its moments, but overall, there was little joy to be found. Hey, I LOVE dark stories. But dark for the sake of dark just ends up being a buzz killer.

To my surprise, Affleck wasn't a total disaster as Batman. Not the best, but not a franchise killer like Clooney and Kilmer. And dare I say? I might like his Bruce Wayne better than anyone else???

I like the new Superman. But it really feels like whoever is in charge has zero idea of how to make Superman interesting. I'll grant you, it's tough. You really have to raise the stakes to make SM look like he's in for a struggle, but geeeez......

Jesse Eisenberg. Loved him in Zombieland and American Ultra. As Lex Luthor? GTFO. He sucked out loud (or Lex was written extremely poorly).

Gal Gardot is still too willowy to be playing Wonder Woman. Does not look the part at all. And yet... I kind of liked her once she started fighting. She was the only one that seemed to be having anything resembling fun.

DC needs a big rebound. SS is going to be it. Is it August yet?



Oh, who am I kidding? I'm in it just for Harley Quinn.

 

Just for you, Ray.
