    I just want to point out that Ben Affleck is such an incredible terrible actor. The trailer had me just rolling my eyes even though the story looks pretty legit.

    Just watched Shitty AMC Show Joke. I hate saying it, but it was very underwhelming. Also, how was it rated R?

    It's remarkable how many things went wrong here.

    First, the animation style is all wrong.
    Second, the prologue made things worse, not better (I don't even think they were going for better, just "net-neutral" to extend the run time without hurting the main story).
    Third, the Batman/Batgirl thing seems pointless and unnecessary.


    They really should have just done a straight adaptation with an art-style that resembles the original work. Who cares if it would have only been 45 minutes long. It's not like it's getting a theatrical release. It's going straight to video. Make it 45 minutes, call it "the most faithful adaptation we've ever done to one of comic's greatest stories" and it sells itself.

    This should have been a layup for DC/WB.

    it's not going to make a billion dollars but it's going to be a financial success.

    The two parts have nothing to do with each other. Timm has been quoted as saying he wanted to make the character of Barbara more complex and add depth, but she becomes a girl infatuated with Batman and is only shown talking about sex outside of the costume.

    finally saw Batman V Superman last night with my girlfriend, seemed like an obvious choice instead of the DNC, we both enjoyed it :idk:

    Batman using guns at will was kind of a strange twist but I'm ok with it

    Suicide Squad: Length of Harley Quinn’s Shorts Digitally EditedThe advance of technology in Hollywood has been used to achieve some amazing things in recent years, from creating a jungle filled with digital animals in The Jungle Book, to de-ageing Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Douglas by decades in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. More than ever, it’s becoming hard to tell just how much of what we see on screen is real, and how much is digital trickery.

    David Ayer’s upcoming movie Suicide Squad caused a bit of a stir when it went into reshoots, due to rumors and speculation that Warner Bros. was trying to reflexively add more humor in the wake of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice being criticized for its solemn tone. In hindsight it sounds like the reshoots were nothing out of the ordinary, but between the release of recent character trailers and the release of a special soundtrack sizzle reel created for San Diego Comic-Con 2016, there was one change made that didn’t require any reshoots at all – just some digital airbrushing.


    In the comparison video above, Bleeding Cool suggests that Warner Bros. used digital editing to shorten Harley’s already very short short-shorts in order to show off more of the character’s buttcheeks. All of the other characters have the exact same expressions and positions during the shot, so it’s clear that the change was made in post-production rather than being a part of the reshoots. The question is… why?

    [​IMG]


    The more scandalous answer would be that Warner Bros. is trying to sell a movie, and decided that the best way to do that was with Harley Quinn’s rear end (it’s been highlighted in trailers before) rather than with Ayer’s punky aesthetic or the catchy soundtrack. If that were the case then the change could prove to be pretty controversial, given the fact that Harley’s skimpy outfit and overt sexualization have already attracted some criticism.

    However, it could also be the case that Bleeding Cool made a false assumption; the more likely explanation is that the Hall H footage shows Robbie’s shorts in their unedited form, and the version in her character trailer was edited to cover more buttcheek. After all, the Hall H footage was only intended to be shown in Hall H and online, whereas Harley’s character trailer (and any TV spots featuring that shot) are intended to be shown on TV. Harley’s shorts may simply have been considered too risqué for daytime TV in their unedited form.

    Forbes' guy really likes it. IndieWire's really dislikes it. Reviews are all over the place.

    Seems like it might end up a bit pedantic, but also a lot of fun.
