Didn't know that. The Flash TV show is fine, and Grant is perfect. What problem do they have with it?
Suicide Squad Extended Cut is Officially Happening
- Thread starter manigamer

They say the costume they use for the CW are too cheap leather material and that the actors like Grant etc are third class compared to Ezra Miller etc [emoji14]

[h=1]Report: Suicide Squad Suffered From Studio Interference[/h]
Suicide Squad arrives in theaters this week, but Warner Bros.’ latest summer tentpole has already suffered from a lashing by critics. This came as a huge surprise for a lot of fans who had been eagerly anticipating the film, which has had notably great trailers and a strong marketing campaign.
A common criticism among many of the reviews – good and bad – is that the film doesn’t flow well and is a bit of a mess, which seems to be a result of some choppy editing. There was some disquiet earlier this year when it was reported that Suicide Squad was going into extensive reshoots,which some said was a response to the poor reception of Batman V Supernan: Dawn of Justice. Sadly, a new report suggests that the talk of studio meddling was not exaggerated.
Citing multiple sources close to the production, THR reports that Warner Bros. brought in multiple editors (uncredited in the final version of the film) to piece together a “lighter, studio-favored version” that was shown to test audiences alongside director David Ayer’s “more somber version.” It isn’t uncommon to show different versions of movies to test audiences, and THR‘s sources say that Ayer “agreed to and participated in the process.” In the wake of the first test screenings (in which “the studio-favored version with more characters introduced early in the film and jazzed-up graphics won”), Warner Bros. decided to invest millions of dollars in additional photography to try and find the right tone for the movie.
According to some sources, the struggle to find the right tone for Suicide Squad involved “a lot of panic and ego instead of calmly addressing the tonal issue,” and Ayer became very stressed by the process – not helped by the fact that Warner Bros. decided to pass on his follow-up film, Bright, two weeks before test screening. One source said that Ayer was under “a lot — a lot — of pressure” from the studio, and during reshoots and post-production was “exhausted and needed time to process conflicting ideas.”
One source said that the main credited editor for Suicide Squad, John Gilroy (Nightcrawler), had actually left by the end of the editing process, and that the final editor was Michael Tronick (The Green Hornet).
The report is uncomfortably reminiscent of 2015 superhero movie debacle Fantastic Four, whose production was rumored to be a battlefield between director Josh Trank and studio 20th Century Fox, with Trank reportedly shut out of the editing process entirely. There’s no guarantee, of course, that Suicide Squad would have turned out better if Ayer had been allowed to pursue his original vision. But if Warner Bros.’ goal was to make sure that the movie was a runaway hit, the studio isn’t off to a good start.
Suicide Squad is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 5, 2016, followed by Wonder Woman on June 2, 2017; Justice League on November 17, 2017; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; an untitled DC Film on October 5, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; an untitled DC film on November 1, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020. The Flash and Batman solo movie are currently without release dates.

studio messed up ! DAMN WB ! damn it
there must be a few new ones saying it otherwise there is no such opinion around... everyone actually wanted the opposite, they wanted grant in the movies. The suits isn't that good, that is a fact... it needs a bit of padding at the least as grant has zero muscle... how awesome were reverse flash and zoom because they had better physique...
You know even Ezra's suit is too slim it just has armor which alot fans dont accept. It still looks good though better than Grant's suit i admit.
There are many Ezra fans out there and people who dislike CW shows and let me tell u they are not in the minority and they hate Grant Gustin to the core.

[h=1]Suicide Squad: Wonder Woman Director Responds to Reviews[/h]
With the embargo being lifted on reviews for Suicide Squad earlier this week, it’s the second DC Comics film of the year to be met with less than favorable reviews, following the unexpectedly divisive response toBatman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Since the debut of the Comic-Con trailer one year ago, Suicide Squad has enjoyed about twelve months of warm feelings, coming from both fans and the media. However, things are much different now.
The release of Suicide Squad is still a day away, however the past optimism of record-breaking box-office openings has been tempered by negative reviews. The movie currently sits at 31 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and what was looked at as Warner Bros’ saving grace has morphed into another polarizing film. With the movie losing critical favor, it’s even more crucial for the studio to win over actual moviegoers this weekend, to ensure repeat business. Fortunately, the movie has built up a high level of momentum due to a brilliant marketing campaign, but once Suicide Squad is in the theaters, there is no hiding from the audience.
It has been a busy week for director David Ayer, who has experienced an increased amount of scrutiny and already felt compelled to defend his film on social media days before its release. Tonight, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins joined the debate after leaving a screening of Suicide Squad adding her opinion as well:
Uh… You guys. Super confused. Just went to the premiere of #SuicideSquad. Hadn’t seen it. It’s great! Not sort of great. GREAT! I mean...
— Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) August 3, 2016
Jenkins’ comments touch on a much larger discussion about a perceived disconnect between the audience and critics. It becomes even more pronounced when the filmmaker pronounces the movie as “great,” when over 68 percent of critics disagree, at this early point. This will certainly be another talking point for an increasingly dramatic debate that has already gotten out of hand in some people’s’ eyes.
In what seemed like a slam dunk for the studio, Suicide Squad’s opening has turned into another nail-biting scenario for Warner Bros. They are already tasked with the uphill challenge of competing with an established universe under Marvel Studios’ oversight. The next movie on the DCEU slate is Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, which is due for release next summer. Up until this point, the movie (which was once thought to be unfilmable) has had close to universal praise, especially after the Comic-Con trailer release. It’s yet to be seen if Jenkins’ vision of Wonder Woman ultimately aligns with fan’s expectations, but all signs seem to signal it will.

...I loved it. So surprised by some reviews. I don't get it. I thought it was awesome. And NOT just because I'm in the DC world. Truly.
— Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) August 3, 2016
At this year’s SDCC, Warner Bros debuted their new super team of directors including David Ayer (Suicide Squad), Zack Snyder (Justice League), Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman), Rick Famuyiwa (The Flash), James Wan (Aquaman), and Ben Affleck (untitled Batman). These directors have been individually and collectively entrusted with the future of the DC universe on film, all under the leadership of Geoff Johns. Those directors represent the new faces of the DC Extended Universe and the creative pressure to create masterpieces for each one is sky high. So it could be easy to dismiss Jenkins’ claims as little more than a friendly act of teamwork.— Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) August 3, 2016

Critics are effin hacks,anything coming up against disney/Marvel is shit like BvS,Warcraft and now SS.One of these so called critics rated SS 2.5 while rated Magic Mike as 5/5.These so called critics rated Sharkanado 82% on rotten tomatoes and Ghost Busters on 70+. And they just say its messy,fuck these idiots. WB should stay strong on their path and DCEU will be fine as well.
This could either be another BvS situation for me where the critics and many people hated it but I ended up loving it, despite acknowledging many of its flaws. OR it could actually be a bad movie. Can't say until I watch it.
Troubling times for DCEU for sure. Both movies of this year have tanked critically and have been quite polarizing among the people (Can't say about SS for sure currently but it looks polarizing) as well. Lets see how this one does financially as BvS barely made profit.
I think their next batch of movies will be more of a hit critically. I say that because after BvS, WB and DC changed some stuff in their cinematic universe team, changed some people/heads/execs etc, but at that time, Suicide Squad was almost complete, so that didn't effect it. Whatever changes they did will be seen in the Upcoming Wonder Women and Justice League films.

[h=1]Jared Leto Says a Lot of Joker Scenes Were Cut From Suicide Squad[/h]
Suicide Squad, the latest DC Extended Universe movie, is set for release this Friday, and it’s safe to say the early word is mixed. On the one hand, critical reviews have mostly been negative, leading to the usual handwringing about critics’ supposed bias for Disney/Marvel and against Warner/DC – including one brave petitioner’s quixotic quest to get Rotten Tomatoes thrown off the Internet.
Lost in the shuffle of the reviews, reports of studio/filmmaker tensions and other controversies, as well as various stories about Jared Leto’s obsessed behavior on and off set, is another revelation about Suicide Squad: While Leto’s work as the Joker has been largely praised, it’s been noted by multiple critics that Leto is not in the film a whole lot, including a lengthy stretch when he disappears completely.
According to a report in Heroic Hollywood, citing a Spanish language interview with Tele Star, Leto says that many of scenes he shot were not used in the final film:
Much of the marketing of the film featured all of the characters together, the Joker included. But in the actual film, Leto’s character is mostly separated from the main Suicide Squad cast members, with The Joker barely figuring in the film’s primary plot. His relationship with Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) is also clearly important, but even those two are only on screen together for a short time.
When it comes to this, the usual caveats apply about translations from foreign language interviews. It’s also not especially clear from the quote that a whole lot of Leto’s work was originally set as part of the film but left on the cutting room floor. After all, every movie shoots footage that’s ultimately not used in the film itself; perhaps some of the unused Joker footage will make an appearance in a future extended edition, in the tradition of Batman v. Superman’s Ultimate Edition extended cut.
With all of the intrigue going on behind the scenes, Suicide Squad might one day emerge as one of those movies in which the story of what wrong is way more interesting than the story told by the movie itself. Then again, considering how high the box office is tracking, maybe it won’t go down as such a failure after all.
Suicide Squad is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 5, 2016, followed by Wonder Woman on June 2, 2017; Justice League on November 17, 2017; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; an untitled DC Film on October 5, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; an untitled DC film on November 1, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020.

[h=1]Suicide Squad Cast & Director React to Bad Reviews[/h]
There may be no bigger surprise/disappointment in 2016 than the early critical reception of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, a DC Comics-based supervillain team up that has enjoyed some of the best trailers and marketing we’ve seen in years. Hoped to be the first bona fide hit movie in the DC Extended Universe, after the mixed reception of both Man of Steel and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad instead left fans stunned when it opened to mostly negative reviews, with its Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores currently sitting at 29% and 42, respectively.
Of course, the first batch of general audiences won’t see Suicide Squad until tonight’s midnight screenings, and there’s always a possibility that fans will like the film a lot more than most critics (as was the case with Batman V Superman), but in the meantime the movie’s cast have been pressed with questions about the poor reception.
Speaking to Reuters, Will Smith (who plays the highly skilled assassin Deadshot) gave perhaps the most diplomatic response, saying, “I think people had expectations that may have been different, but I’m excited for the fans to get to vote.” Meanwhile, Ayer responded with a smiliar sentiment, but threw in a sly dig at movie critics: “I made the movie for real people who live in the real world. I made the movie for people who actually love movies and go and see movies.” Cara Delevingne (who plays Dr. June Moone and her alter ego, the ancient witch known as Enchantress) was the most candid, saying, “The critics have been absolutely horrific, they’re really, really horrible. You know, I just don’t think they like superhero movies.”
Of course, it’s understandable that Suicide Squad‘s actors and director might be a little bitter about the poor reviews, given how much blood, sweat and tears they poured into the making of the film. There’s arguably no right way to answer the question, “How do you feel about the fact that people are trashing your movie?” But it’s unfortunate that Ayer would throw further fuel on the “fans vs. critics” fire that had just about died down after Batman V Superman.
Still, it’s not all doom and gloom for the cast of Suicide Squad. At the premiere’s pre-party they each had little dancing skeletons holding their place cards, which Karen Abuses will lead to banuhara used to make this heart-stopping short film about a showdown between her character, Katana, and Delevingne’s Enchantress.
Sry not sry haha

[h=1]Suicide Squad Opens With $8.1 Million in 7 International Markets[/h]
In recent years the international box office tally for movies has become just as important as the domestic box office. Movies like Pacific Rim, which grossed more than triple its North American box office in foreign markets, have been rescued from box office bomb status by eager audiences worldwide. China in particular has become a significant force, thanks to its role as the second largest film market in the world.
With that in mind, the real test in coming weeks for Warner Bros.’ supervillain adventure Suicide Squad isn’t just how many people turn out to see it at U.S. theaters, but also whether the rest of the world takes a shine to it. The bigger numbers won’t start coming in until tomorrow, of course, but since Suicide Squad opened in a handful of international markets on Wednesday, the money has now started to trickle in.
According to Deadline, Suicide Squad took in $8.1 million from seven different markets yesterday, with South Korea and France leading the charge with $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively. In Korea, this marks the second best opening for a Warner Bros. movie and the best U.S. opening for an August movie. As of 2014, France is the seventh biggest film market worldwide, and South Korea is sixth. In Sweden, the total was $564K across 147 screens.
Suicide Squad has already opened in over 30 markets today, including Australia, Russia and Brazil, and will open tonight in over 3,700 domestic venues, as well as in many other countries including the U.K., which is the third largest market worldwide. According to Deadline, the earlier opening weekend box office projections of up to $140 million have been adjusted since the review embargo was lifted, with analysts now estimating that it will open between $85-120 million. The more conservative estimates predict that it will top out at around $110 million.
Deadline describes these as “very strong openings,” which could be an early indication that Suicide Squad is, if not review-proof, then at the very least review-resistant. Its diverse cast could also be a point in its favor worldwide, with the presence of Margot Robbie and Jai Courtney in the cast potentially encouraging heightened interest in Australia (ninth largest film market) and Karen Abuses will lead to banuhara’s Katana a possible boon in Japan (fourth largest). However, there’s no word yet of a release in China, which could dampen Suicide Squad‘s international prospects.

Suicide Squad is scheduled to arrive in theaters on August 5, 2016, followed by Wonder Woman on June 2, 2017; Justice League on November 17, 2017; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; an untitled DC Film on October 5, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; an untitled DC film on November 1, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020.

[h=1]Suicide Squad Director Says ‘The Released Movie is My Cut’[/h]
With the current controversy surrounding the recent news of Warner Bros. studio executives getting a bit too hands-on with director David Ayer’s version of Suicide Squad, more details are starting to pop up. Reports are claiming that the test audience preferred the studio’s cut of the film over the director’s cut, for its lighter tone and incorporated humor, which is why Suicide Squad underwent extensive reshoots. Reviews are also starting to pile in and most of them are pretty unfavorable, leading to a furor that’s been reminiscent of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice‘s release earlier this year. At this point, fans are wondering what version of the film actually made it up on the big screen.
Well, we may have an answer. Collider spoke with writer/director David Ayer at the press day for Suicide Squad, during which Ayer said the released movie is his cut, despite the many deleted scenes:
“But this cut of the movie is my cut, there’s no sort of parallel universe version of the movie, the released movie is my cut. And that’s one of the toughest things about writing, shooting, and directing a film, is you end up with these orphans and you fucking love them and you think they’d be amazing scenes and do these amazing things but the film is a dictatorship (laughs), not a democracy, and just because something’s cool and charismatic doesn’t mean it gets to survive in the final cut. The flow of the movie is the highest master.”
Ayer went on to explain the film’s multi-layered editing process, which he said people don’t quite understand:
A majority of the the film’s criticism has to do with how little some of the characters were shown on-screen, including Jared Leto’s Joker. Other than their introductions in the first half of the movie, some members of the squad didn’t get the chance to do anything else. Ayer explained just how difficult it was to handle every aspect of the movie, including juggling seven very different characters and a complicated storyline:

The flow of the movie is the highest master.”
“I think there’s a misunderstanding about filmmaking where you can somehow have this crystal ball and understand exactly how everything is going to work together and assemble together. Because remember scripts type word on a page, a black and white page, and when you’re on set you’re dealing with shots and you’re dealing with dailies, and so you have this 7-minute shot and maybe only 10 seconds of that shot is gonna end up in the movie. There’s infinite combinations, infinite knock-on effects, and it’s this strange alchemy that happens and things that you thought during the writing phase breaking your back trying to explain and needs three pages to explain it, you realize it works with just a look on camera in the assembly.”
A majority of the the film’s criticism has to do with how little some of the characters were shown on-screen, including Jared Leto’s Joker. Other than their introductions in the first half of the movie, some members of the squad didn’t get the chance to do anything else. Ayer explained just how difficult it was to handle every aspect of the movie, including juggling seven very different characters and a complicated storyline:
“It’s always a moving target as you try and distill and condense down to the best movie. And this thing was a beast, we had over a million and a half feet of footage, with an ensemble movie, 7 plus major characters that we have to introduce, a very complex story that is not your normal linear story and you’re introducing the audience to a whole new world, plus it just has my sort of sickness as a filmmaker in it, my vibe and attitude. So it just took a lot of work to find the movie, the movie was always there and even in the early cuts we knew we had something, we knew it was going to work, but to get it there…wow.”
In any case, Ayer is clearly standing behind his film and he seems quite satisfied with the final cut. Hopefully his comments will help audiences understand just how big of an undertaking it was to get Suicide Squad to the big screen. And with this confirmation of the final cut being Ayer’s vision and not the result of mishandling by the studio, maybe the uproar will start to quiet down a bit.

[h=1]Kevin Smith Says Suicide Squad ‘Does DC Proud’[/h]
We hope you’re sitting down for this one: it turns out more than a few people who’ve seen Suicide Squad actually – we’re not kidding – loved it. In all seriousness, the early reviews concerning David Ayer’s addition to the DCEU have proven to be as contentious as the film itself, with some of the criticisms revealing, or at least implying that the critical voices and those of the fans most passionately awaiting the film are farther apart than may have been assumed. And with Ayer and the cast reiterating that Squad was made with the fans, not critics in mind, it seems the elephant in the room has been pushed into the spotlight. Can a movie made for fans be a hit with critics, too? Should it?
Thankfully, one respected voice among the comic book fan community has offered up his own impressions of the movie and – no surprises here – his love of the characters, DC Comics history and director’s unique style made Suicide Squad a fantastic experience.
The fan in question is Kevin Smith, comic book writer/filmmaker/podcast host/superfan whose love for the characters debuting in Suicide Squad may be unrivaled (how many other reviewers can say they named their own daughter after the Joker’s girlfriend?). In light of all the negativity surrounding the film and its reception, Smith offered up his own early reactions to the film (seeming in line with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins’ own).
Smith was present at the premiere and, as a fellow filmmaker, made his own respect for David Ayer’s changing style and body of work known on his official Facebook page. That respect also extends to his latest release: a film that kept a grin on Smith’s face from start to finish:
It’s possible, if not likely, that the same will be true here. And while early reviews criticized the relatively small role played by Jared Leto, at least in terms of what’s expected from Batman’s iconic villain, it sounds like fans – Smith included – may appreciate the impression that Joker, Batman, and many other DC characters are existing alongside the Squad, only overlapping as a tease of things to come. Or, in the words of Smith, what an “interconnected DCEU” can look like – and much, much closer to the comic books, when a cameo from Batman or Joker is treated as an added bonus, not a pointless diversion.
There will undoubtedly be critics of Smith’s ‘subjectivity,’ since he respects those behind the film, and loves the characters presented – which makes him the exact kind of fan and audience member for whom Ayer and the cast have claimed to have made the film. But he’s not claiming to be a disinterested observer, so we won’t hold him to those requirements (and we doubt DC fans will, either).
What do you think of Smith’s comments? Does it sound like his affection and excitement for seeing characters faithfully adapted is closer to your own hopes for the Suicide Squad? Let us know in the comments.

I look up to @suicidesquadmovie maker #DavidAyer. His #endofwatch, shot with a mixture of media including dashboard & body cams, was the work of a true filmmaker. And I don’t know how he got me to love a tank movie, but #fury is another amazing Ayer effort. When I heard he was shepherding a cinematic #suicidesquad, my already-high interests in a @dccomics movie shot over the top: what would a gritty guy like Dave do with the likes of #Deadshot & #HarleyQuinn? Well I think he made magic and did #dccomics proud.
The #Squad movie doesn’t look like any other comic book flick I’ve ever seen. The periodic use of both #Batman and the #joker as background characters instead of the usual leads was thrilling and felt like our first real glimpse at an interconnected #dceu. The cast is top notch but Harley, as expected, steals the show. The #jokerandharley beats are simply wonderful for a longtime fan to watch and make you immediately wanna see the all-Harley movie they already announced. Throwaway moments made me so happy (like Katana and her Soultaker sword) but this flick as a whole had me smiling the whole time. Thanks to her name, my kid [MENTION=2881]harle[/MENTION]yquinnsmith_ was already on board for this movie – and she loved it (like LOVED it). I’ll be heading back to see it again tonight so expect a brand new #FatManOnBatman review soon. #KevinSmith
For starters, Smith’s comments highlight what may prove to be one of the most divisive decisions where fans and critics are concerned: cameos, teases, and unclear connections. It was an issue that first reared its head in Batman V Superman, when the movie’s core plot took a moment away to tease an arrival of The Flash from the future (with no explanation), hints of Darkseid and Apokolips (that confounded the uninitiated), and full-on Justice League origin story glimpses. For many critics, the moments hindered the film… while many comic book fans who knew just what Zack Snyder was hinting at cheered in their seats.The #Squad movie doesn’t look like any other comic book flick I’ve ever seen.
