I have hope for Wonder Woman, as the first female led superhero movie (since Catwoman with Halle Berry?) I am praying it's good.

I'd consider betting my house that Captain Marvel will be better.
I see people say Black Widow should have got her own movie, but I don't think so, I find Scarlett Johansson's portrayal dull. I don't know if it's her or the character but I wouldn't rush to see a movie about her. |

So the Jared Leto is Robin rumour wasn't true? Shame.

Probably, at least if Wonder Woman is bad, Captain Marvel is coming in the next couple of years. Those movies have some weight on their shoulders, if they fail then we may not see female led superhero movies for a while. We've waited 12 years since that terrible Catwoman movie, I really want them to be good.

I think we can let that one slide as it was a pretty ridiculous theory anyway. |

I know it's not strictly a movie, but Netflix did a sterling job with Jessica Jones.
I've rather liked her version of the character. I think she could carry a solo movie if the story was strong enough. A Jason Bourne/Wolverine type thing maybe? Yes I loved Jessica Jones, I liked the physiological aspect of that show. It's not something they tackle in the movies. It's probably Scarlet that I have an issue with, I just don't connect with her in anything. She's not a bad actress, sometimes you just can't 'click' with some people. I think i'm particularly interested in Wonder Woman because I have always really liked the character, and also because I'm getting a tad fatigued with superhero movies in general. I'm hoping that putting a woman up front will give the movie a different feel and give me something new to get excited about. That's exactly what happened with Jessica Jones, they explored things that got me really invested in the series. |

![]() Fingers crossed for the Squad, I so desperately want to enjoy it. I think the key to getting it right is Amanda Waller. If they get her right, that's half the battle. If they get her wrong, it's not the Suicide Squad, it's just a bunch of D-listers running about. |

Agreed. No more spoilers please!
I think we can let that one slide as it was a pretty ridiculous theory anyway. If you want absurd, I'd be fairly sure Dr Manhattan from Watchmen is the BvS Luthor's Satan in the sky, based off current comics & the fact Geoff Johns is involved with the films. (Speculation not a spoiler). Ding ding. |

Have you seen the film then MrSuper to know the script is wrong?
Most of the reviews do say Amanda Waller is one of the best things in Suicide Squad I think people need to see the film first before jumping on the negative bandwagon but if you prefer to judge a film without watching it then it's your choice! Oh yeah Geoff Johns is a producer on it but then he is a producer for the majority of WB/DC films now so it's a safe bet to make! |

It's not that absurd. Been done in Frank Miller written comics.
(Unless it's not the one I'm thinking of.) |

Interesting in Waller as Waller on Arrow was very very good.

![]() Here's hoping Seth Rogen and Sam Catlin fall off a cliff before that gets ruined as well. |

Hasn't The Boys been rumoured as a film for a while now?
Although after Seth Rogen success with Preacher I wouldn't be surprised to see it as a TV show instead! |

Ah, I don't mind the Preacher show.
I'll watch it now and get back to you. ...In the relevant thread of course, I've derailed this one enough.

Well I think it would do better as a TV show than a film which would be harder to get made!
Especially with the amount of comic book TV shows like Preacher,Outcast and of cause Walking Dead! |

The Wrap are reporting that Suicide Squad is set to open an $140 million three day opening weekend and that's after the reviews have been online!

![]() Let's point The Saint at Zack Snyder instead. The DCEU can be rescued, just not by him. |

If they balls this film up, I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the new DC movies don't get scrapped and the whole thing rebooted a few years down the line.
It would make three duds on the trot. How many can a studio afford before they admit it's not working? Of course, some people loved BvS and will love SS but, in my experience, if majority of critics are mauling a film, it's not looking good. And as you say, WW has to save the day!! I have already booked tickets and as mentioned somewhere else, die hard comic fans will see this regardless but its a shame if they have ballsed it up. Some spoiler free reviews I have seen today "SS is a pretty dark movie. its also a lot of fun with good acting and a lot of DC easter eggs" "SS is a mess. Sometimes an entertaining mess. Sometimes an unbelievably disastrous mess. I don't really know what the f*** it is." "Deranged, demented, occasionally shocking, often uneven....very....odd". |

For what it's worth I'll see it. I've seen a few youtube review and they all loved it. I |
