I don't want them to reboot now, I just want them to stop.

 

[Rooster12]

Wait

They're making a Joker movie without Jared Leto and one with?

What?

BWHAHAHAHA

Best train wreck EVER!!!!!!!

This is way more entertaining than any of Marvel's stuff

 

[LotusHD]

Watch the animated series to understand why it's the best.

Everything in the Superman/Batman movie is gold, but there's a little moment in this scene that I love.

I know their dynamic is entertaining, but the romance part/love story is the thing I'm mainly questioning. Like as a kid I guess I never gave it too much thought. But as I grow older, it's just something I look back on and can't help but wonder why people unironically look at them as being #relationshipgoals

 

[Messi]

Oh... Oh God

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Cutting out the crap and giving me what I want. WB really has my best interest at heart.

I was about to say, in theory a Batman cinematic universe doesn't actually sound that bad.

Spoiler

In theory.

 

[Vyer]

I like This Is Us (seriously one of the GOAT broadcast tv pilots) and Crazy, Stupid Love.

Not sure what to think about this

 

[Farsi]

Supposedly it's more Mr & Mrs Smith with Harley and Joker than Natural Born Killers

Imagine taking one of the greatest villains of all time and putting him in a romantic comedy.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

We never going to get Flash or Cyborg movies?

You in a rush?

 

[mreddie]

So no Ivy and Catwoman with Harley, instead we get ABUSE the Movie.

 

[Wingfan19]

So no Ivy and Catwoman with Harley, instead we get ABUSE the Movie.

I bet they'll still be in it. Might even be the ones to knock some sense into Harley and have her give up Joker for good.

 

[JTripper]

Just give us all the Joker movies, DC. It's what we really want!

 

[Messi]

DONT YOU DARE REMOVE CATWOMAN AND IVY FOR THIS SHIT. FUCK YOU DC. FUCK YOU.

 

[Ross61]

You in a rush?

Slayven wants to be there first day to Cyborg.#SupportDCFilms #SupportBlackFilms

A good writer can make any relationship compelling. It doesn't have to be as twisted as it is in the comics.

I'm not referring to the movie though, just in general.

 

[shira]

Rope Guy in this?

 

[Wingfan19]

You may want to sit down for this..

 

[7Th]

Harley Quinn in general has a pretty loose characterization. They treat her like a redeemable antihero despite canonically having a kill-count of innocents above the hundreds.

 

[Inferno313]

As long as Ivy is still in this, I'm game. HUGE upgrade from Ayer.

 

[Lifeline]

Better than Ayer, but a GCS movie sounded more interesting than the love story it turned into.

 

[Random Human]

I honestly have no idea what's going on with these DC movies anymore.

 

[Dark Ninja]

How much texting is gonna be in this movie.

 

[HStallion]

I honestly have no idea what's going on with these DC movies anymore.

Neither does DC apparently.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Jesus. How many of these have actual release dates? And Aquaman still isn't in production, isn't it? There's no way all of these get made.

Aquaman is well underway.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Aquaman is well underway.

I know, I got corrected on that last page. I didn't get the memo.

 

[Mashing]

I have some faith in DC after Wonder Woman, but this just sounds awful.

 

[JCHandsom]

The film is described as a “criminal love story,” according to one source, featuring the two murdering maniacs who are cornerstones in the Batman mythos.

Barf.

 

[HStallion]

Aquaman is well underway.

Till they reboot it as a love story between Jason Momoa and Shamoo

 

[PanSexual_Peacock]

Honestly, it seems like the actual breaking news here isn't the concept of the film, but that Ayer is not attached to it anymore. I think this is just GCS with new filmmakers.

 

[Messi]

Yup. Joker could easily be in the Sirens movie.

I forgot about the texting in suicide squad lol

 

[Blader]

Honestly, it seems like the actual breaking news here isn't the concept of the film, but that Ayer is not attached to it anymore. I think this is just GCS with new filmmakers.

Wouldn't GCS be centered around Harley, Ivy, and Catwoman? Those two could still be in this movie, but it sounds like the focus is now more on Harley and Joker.

 

[Wingfan19]

Yup. Joker could easily be in the Sirens movie.

I forgot about the texting in suicide squad lol

Yeah, Sirens was probably going to have Black Mask as the villain if that Tweet from Ayer meant anything, but I'm sure Joker would've still been in it.

I mean really, what is more recognizable when selling a movie? "Gotham City Sirens" or "Joker and Harley"?

 

[shira]

Joker harem. It's daijobu

 

[broncobuster]

Deadline corrected their story to clear up GCS confusion,

DC has been all over the place with possible movies, and this one is apparently different from Gotham City Sirens, a different Harley Quinn spinoff meant to showcase several top female villains from the DC stable which Suicide Squad director David Ayer is attached to direct.

Gotham City Sirend still on (good!) with Ayer attached (less good).

 

[Random Human]

Deadline corrected their story to clear up GCS confusion,



Gotham City Sirend still on (good!) with Ayer attached (less good).

Huh. That just makes this idea even weirder.

 

[Smokey_Run]

So we're back up to 4 Joker/Harley films. Great! /s

I feel like Ayer is not gonna be directing this.

@ this and all the other DCEU news we've gotten so far this week:

 

[HStallion]

I feel like Ayer is not gonna be directing this.

He'll be starring in it as Catwoman.

 

[LotusHD]

So fucking confused lol

 

[broncobuster]

So we're back up to 4 Joker/Harley films. Great! /s

Honestly, take them out of Suicide Squad 2 and make it less Batman focused. Bring in Killer Frost, Vixen, etc.

 

[Van Bur3n]

The Joker was a mistake.

 

[golem]

Deadline corrected their story to clear up GCS confusion,

Gotham City Sirend still on (good!) with Ayer attached (less good).

Lol whut

 

[Ross61]

He'll be starring in it as Catwoman.

And have a romance with Bats? DCEU first with openly gay superhero in cinematic universe?

 

[PingPongvonLaserstein]

So fucking confused lol

Sounds like you're qualified to be a Warner Brothers studio executive.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Honestly, take them out of Suicide Squad 2 and make it less Batman focused. Bring in Killer Frost, Vixen, etc.

Joker and Harley are the core of the Suicide Squad brand at this point. Without them, you're looking a big drop at the box office.

 

[Ross61]

Joker and Harley are the core of the Suicide Squad brand at this point. Without them, you're looking a big drop at the box office.

I'd say the diversity mattered more. It's been noted by even executives as to why the film was so successful.

 

[broncobuster]

Joker and Harley are the core of the Suicide Squad brand at this point. Without them, you're looking a big drop at the box office.

That's fine if they manage budget and expectations. Not everything must be over $150M budget.

And have a romance with Bats? DCEU first with openly gay superhero in cinematic universe?

Midnighter is on the DCEU banner. Add him to Suicide Squad 2.

 

[brickarts295]

Batman is Non-DCEU, Joker's is getting a flick, Joker & Harley are a getting film together and there's Gotham City Sirens alongside another Suicide Squad...

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Joker and Harley are the core of the Suicide Squad brand at this point. Without them, you're looking a big drop at the box office.

Suicide Squad had a diverse cast that rivaled the cast of F&F. That's to mention Harley's popularity overtaking the Joker's. Yeah, some people were excited at a new Joker but it wasn't what sold the movie.
