    I've just discovered that the possible official name for DC's universe is DC Extended Universe. That kinda sounds dumb to me. Is it because pretty much every film after Batman V. Superman extends off of it?

    @Agent007391, that's what I had initially thought too, as that'd make the most sense, or so you'd think. An expanded universe is any brand that extends from one medium (like comics or books) into another (movies, TV), where often new stories and new characters are created that may be exclusive to one of those said mediums. Basically every major brand is at the center of an expanded universe. You hear the term used a lot with Star Wars, and of course Bond is also very much a part of that as his stories are told in many forms and through many pieces of merchandise.

    Or you mean...Silva's introduction was pure Bond quality. Something that The Joker didn't have, a worthy one-shot introduction.

    Awesome. He looks so different here.

    Ah ah, there shall be no Joker shaming in these parts, my good sir. We can give support to one thing without leveling another, especially when that someone is one of the greatest, most complex villains ever imagined.

    Bingo!

    Regardless, the Joker had an excellent introduction in TDK.

    I have to say, this Joker disappoints me, but not in comparison to other actors who've played the role. He just disappoints me in a general way.

    EDIT: I missed a word. Fixed.

    Honestly, I think most of my anger and/or resentment comes from the creative decisions of Ayer and his team, as opposed to Leto and his Joker.

    A lot of this disappointment dates back to when we got our first look of Leto as Joker. In that photo, if you'll remember, Leto was doing the hair grab Joker does in the Killing Joke, and his body was covered in tattoos. While I think most of the tattoos didn't upset us too much, the stupid "Damaged" one on his forehead was absolutely ridiculous and didn't connect to the character in any real way. At the time a lot of people were slamming this version of the Joker for those tattoos, and there were reports that they were only there for the celebration of Joker's 75th anniversary and wouldn't be in the actual movie, but as we've since seen, they all appear, including THAT one.

    I think Leto will do an amazingly bent and uncomfortable Joker performance, I just feel that as far as the tattoos go, less or none at all would have been a lot more. Of course, I think the team behind SS realized what they were up against and wanted to go for a Joker that nobody had seen before and certainly wasn't expecting, instead of rehashing Jack and Heath.

    I think Leto will play the Joker to the best of his ability, don't get me wrong, and I'd love it if I'm pleasantly surprised by his performance, but Suicide Squad in general just looks disappointing.

    Yeah, I'm not overly impressed by it either. Especially with how they've used Croc. All the villains look like the worst cosplayers ever.

    The saddest thing about it being that Will Smith looks the closest to his inspiration, though Harley's not too bad, either.

    I personally dislike the New 52 Harley. I just don't "get it," I guess. I really wanted to see her in the classic red and black, so when she was revealed to be this bubblegum pink and blue mess, I was caught off guard.

    Suicide Squad Trailer #2 Details Reportedly Revealed

    http://comicbook.com/2015/12/28/suicide-squad-trailer-2-details-reportedly-revealed/

    Kevin Smith has stated that he has seen the trailer and "it's coming soon".

    Full trailer description:
    Camera pans down a prison hallway, like we saw in footage at San Diego Comic Con. A guard closes the metal window that we see on some prison doors. We see it is Captain Boomerang they close the window on.

    We see Harley Quinn drinking tea and reading a book in her cell. She has a jumper on, her hair is up in curls, she has pink fuzzy slippers on as well.

    Deadshot is looking out a window from his cell. It is raining outside.

    Diablo is doing push-ups in his cell, another shot of him looking at a flame in his hand. Looking at the tv of a prison camera feed in Captain Boomerang's cell, he's yelling at it. Amanda Waller talks at a dinner table like comic con footage.

    Warner Bros and DC Logo, neon blue and pink, like Harley's colors. Guards in armor running down prison hallway like in comic con footage.

    Deadshot in his cell, facing the door in a fighting stance, like a boxer. Guards open door to his cell and attack him. He's being held down in what looks like a medical chair, guards hit him in the stomach with a club.

    A guard opens a metal tank, Diablo falls out in a rush of water, he's soaked to the bone. There is then a shot of a medical room, like an OR. Killer Croc is being wheeled in like the comic con footage. Deadshot says "What is this, uh, cheerleading tryouts?"

    A yellow bodybag is cut open, and Captain Boomerang climbs out and punches one of MANY military looking guys around him. (I'm guessing this is how they get them out of the prison without anybody knowing). Slipknot punches what looks like a female FBI agent holding an SUV door open, then other FBI agents restrain him. Harley pops up and says "Hi boys", she looks normal here. Deadshot and Diablo are in prison jumpsuits with military guys behind Harley.

    Sliding doors opens with two military guards. Rick Flagg is now going through Deadshot's file with a normal looking Enchantress behind him. He says "Deadshot. Uhh... shoots people." We then see Deadshot in his suit looking down with guns in his hands. Rick Flagg "Crocodile. He eats people."Croc pulls his hood down. Another shot of Croc jumping out of some water in what looks like a sewer and pulls some guard in with him. A close up shot of Diablo with Flagg voiceover "He burns people." Shot of Enchantress, now looking like a witch, sitting on a bed, finger to her mouth motioning to "shhhh" with Flagg voiceover "You're possessed by a witch." Harley laughing behind bars, Flagg voiceover "And she's just crazy." Shot of Harley, from the same outside shot we saw early saying "What was that?" We see a shot of the military guys outside. Back to Harley "I should kill everyone and escape? Sorry... it's the voices." Cut back to Slipknot, then back to Harley"Hahaha I'm kidding. That's not what they really said." Another shot from earlier where we see Deadshot and Diablo out in the in the compound with the military guys (it is daylight during this scene). Flagg "This is the deal." Shot of helicopter flying through city around dusk.

    We see the helicopter under attack, troops on the ground and there is lots of damage to buildings and vehicles. Flagg "You're going somewhere very bad." We see a humvee that is destroyed, almost looks melted.

    Inside of helicopter cabin, we see it being at at from the ground. Then we see a hero shot of Deadshot, Katana, Diablo, Captain Boomerang, Rick Flagg, and Harley Quinn. Flagg "You do something that'll get you killed." Captain Boomerang and Slipknot share an exchange of looks of concern. A camera follows Flagg and Deadshot and they lead people inside a building, guns raised.

    A large group of military guys coming into the same building from the last shot. We see a subway platform that has been destroyed, much like the street of earlier. Deadshot slides on his kneed towards camera firing his guns up in the air, Flagg firing his assault rifle behind him. We see Harley going up a glass elevator from the ground, she's got a baseball bat in her hands and she's waving to the ground.

    Deadshot says "Lets go save the world" with Flagg right next to him, standing by a fire. Harley shooting some guns, Deadshot shooting, Captain Boomerang attacks a monster (helpers of Enchantress once she turns). Croc slams a monster to the ground.

    Harley blows hair from her face, in that sexy way girls do. Joker is wearing a gold jacket and slaps some guy in the face, and says "I can't wait to show you my toys."

    (There are a bunch of quick cuts here) Deadshot attacking, Joker laughing with what looks like a gun in his hand, Joker pulling on a light, Joker driving in his car (like comic con footage), Joker laying on the ground around HUNDREDS of knives and guns and other sorts of weapons. A big explosion, Deadshot loading clips and takes aim, Diablo yelling, the pace slows down as we see Captain Boomerang open a can of beer and take a drink, Katana's eyes turn completely black, Harley dancing sexy in a club, helicopters shooting

    (Then the screen goes black with the following words, in Suicide Squad font)

    Military guys fist bumping

    Incubus destroys subway train (he is a character that Enchantress creates, and is completely CG)

    (more quick cuts) Joker pulls a gun on a guy, which a henchman behind him. Croc grabs Katana. Normal looking Harley (before transformation) slams arms down on a table. Big fight in the street at night. Enchantress before her change. More quick cuts of all the characters. A topless Joker diving into a chemical tank. Joker pulling Harley out of chemical tank.

    More quick cuts of characters. Harley jumps to a rope. Harley smashes the window of a department store at night, startling the group. She walks into display and pulls out a bag/purse. Flagg"Seriously, the hell is wrong with you people?" Harley puts on purse and rolls her eyes "We're bad guys. It's what we do."

    @DarthDimi, nice to see another Fat-Man on Batman fan out there; I don't run into many, if any.

    I've loved Kevin Smith and his unique brand of comedy for years now. Smodcast podcasts consume much of my leisure time. :)

    Yes, he is a man who on two different podcasts did a scene-by-scene explanation/description/analysis of The Dark Knight Rises for four hours, (an hour and a half longer than the film itself) all from memory.

    And yes, his oft tearful tributes to the Dark Knight are beyond endearing, and he's made it clearer to me why I've connected so strongly to the character on a subconscious level.

    I recently listened to Smith's interviews with Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy. Great podcasts, I can't wait to listen to more Fatman on Batman in the future.

    @Murdock, the ones with Paul Dini are also legendary, my favorites being the two episodes where they improvise on the spot a seasons long plot for a TV show that would have Bruce Wayne attend a private school where all we know of Batman is born. They call it "Shadow of the Bat."
