She looks like a cheap whore. Nothing like the victorian inspired clothes she wears in the game or the jester costume from the animations.

But in general, giving her a grungier, messier look was a trend that began with the games, and was expanded on further in the New 52 reboot.  And they might have figured that dressing her up as an old-timey clown was a bit too silly to work in live action.  Kind of like the Joker actually having white skin and green hair.  I remember that really bugging me about him in Tim Burton's movie.  I know that in the comics he fell into a vat of chemicals and his hair and skin were permanently changed, but something about that just doesn't translate into live action well.

According to the New 52, Joker threw Harley into the same vat of chemicals that changed him, so it might be her origin.

That annoys me.

The point, I saw with Harley was that she wasn't forced to be crazy, she became crazy of her own free will, then got into an abusive relationship, and now she's more or less trapped like so many other abused women.

With this she's basically just the joker with boobs.

That sounds more likely, actually.  And Harley was the one who the Joker had strapped down in the trailer, so we already know that there's going to be some form of origin for her.

Also, on the notion of Wonder Woman:

Yes, yes, insert obligatory joke about how they beat Marvel to casting another guy named Chris here, etc.  Anyway, this part made me raise an eyebrow:

Quote
Steve Trevor will be no mere love interest for Gadot’s Diana Prince, as there will be plenty of action to keep him busy

Ideally, no character should be a "mere love interest," but I'll be very disappointed if this means that they're going to be bending over backwards to avoid implying that Steve is anything less than Wonder Woman's equal in ass-kicking ability and importance to the story.  God forbid, the idea of a relationship where the man is content to take a largely passive, supporting role and the woman is the one who gets shit done.

Will Smith Says Jared Leto Never Broke Character in 'Suicide Squad'

Wow!  That's amazing!

Quote
"I’ve never actually met Jared Leto," he told Beats 1's Zane Lowe. "We worked together for six months and we’ve never exchanged a word outside of ‘Action’ and ‘Cut!’ We've never said 'Hello' ... I've only spoken to him as Deadshot and as him as The Joker."

Well, that's strange.  All it looks like he's talking about here is the hectic nature of making a huge blockbuster film.  It has nothing to do with any supposed method acting from Leto.  It's almost as if the headline is a great big lie.  Seriously, I'm sick of all the mythologizing of what Leto is supposedly doing in this role that's been going on for the past few months.  He's playing a character in a movie.  That's it.  This is hardly the stuff of legends.

Saddam is confused by punk/gang/goth culture.


And yes, sucky. It's like they decided "Evil is tattoos, pimps, and goth strippers.

I would say that this trailer seems to give away the whole plot, but then again, this is what pretty much everyone already predicted would happen, so I suppose there's no harm done.  Doomsday!  Jokes!  Lex being ridiculous!

Do you want to see this movie?

Do I want to see a movie about Batman and Superman fighting?  Yes, of course I do.  It could be a trainwreck from start to finish and I'd still want to see it.
