I didn't get to see "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" in theatres, I've only seen the 3hr extended cut. So, I am not really aware of the issues with the original release. I likely would've still liked everything. But, after others knocking "Suicide Squad", which I liked so much that I saw it 3x in theatres. Like "Batman V Superman" there is going to be an extended cut. Which makes me wonder if there will be the opposite effect, and I don't like it.

I am sure that there will be more Harley Quinn and the footage of The Joker that was cut and someone attempted to sue over. Afan, not Jared Leto who actually put in the work haha But, although I will like that, what about the rest? Could be pointless or just poorly done. Either of which could ruin the movie for me if editing is done wrong or poor as well.

Guess we will see come November when digital format is available and Blu-Ray out in December. I will be getting both as that's how my brain works and I am tired of waiting haha

SQWAD

My oldest daughter and I went to see "Suicide Squad" on Sunday. Thought that it was going to be a rough day after my lady let it slip to my youngest that we were going to see a "Harley Quinn" movie. It was a slip of mind saying it that way, and lead to a small freak out. Why? Well, the baby of our SQWAD is named Harleigh Quinn. And even with the femme form of the first name, she is a blonde haired, blue eyed, super smart, and just as strong version of the character. Had to kind of lie to her, saying it is "Suicide Squad" and not "Harley Quinn". Luckily, she is only 3 (going on 4 this Halloween) and bought it.

Now, this isn't going to be a review really. I loved it. Period. I will say that everyone in this movie brought their A Game and it showed. I would love to see some spin-offs or appearances in other franchises in this movieverse for sure. Clearly a fan of The Joker and Harley Quinn, so seeing even more of them is on my wishlist.
It was action packed, entertaining, and the story was pretty good. I can see where some may poke fun, but to me it was DC Comics all-Villain version of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy. A cast of characters with backstories to tell, and like I said, they did that well. Even my only concern going into it, which was Will Smith, was put to rest. Haven't cared much for his performances the last few years, it became a "I am aware I am watching Will Smith play something". This time around though, I wasn't. I was watching Floyd Lawton doing his thing as Deadshot. I liked it so much, that I would be very open to seeing more of the former Fresh Prince shooting stuff flawlessly.
I am itching to go see it again, and I will be next weekend as part of my anniversary with my lady. Now it is a week of quotes while trying to not play spoiler, even though she likely would remember.

Even when I am done seeing it for a second time, I will left anxiously waiting for the digital and Blu-Ray releases. I know that opening weekend just ended, but, are we there yet?

BATFLECK'S UNIVERSE

There is at least one Batman solo movie in the works, hopefully more as to cover his massive rogues gallery. Sure, Ben Affleck will bring the goddamn Batman to the upcoming "Suicide Squad", but will that be the only interaction we will see between Bats and The Joker, Harley Quinn, and even Killer Croc? Some may not want another Batman V Joker film, but I am not one of them. Especially given that there is also a Harley Quinn to add to the mix this time around via Margot Robbie. But, I would also like to see more, and more characters involved as well. Both returning and debuting. And they would be...

Catwoman
Although in every franchise, she is as iconic as Batman and The Joker. It would be nice to see another incarnation of her nine lives. Older Batman with Affleck, so perhaps Angelina Jolie or Kate Beckinsale could fill the role purrrrrr-fectly. Sorry.

Bane
He got his redemption in "The Dark Knight Rises", but lets see an even closer rendition. Yes, I want to see size changing when he injects the venom, able to kick butt, and the mask.

Mr. Freeze
Speaking of redemption, although Arnold had the look, his over use of one liners in typical Arnold fashion ruined the role. Let's see what Victor Fries is like in Batfleck's world. The question is who would fit the part. I vote for Hugo Weaving.

The Riddler
I actually like Jim Carrey's version. It was an only slightly dark spin on Frank Gorshin's in the 1960's. After seeing him in "Number 23", I would consider Carrey for the role if he goes that dark with the character. I can see the appeal of N.P.H. but I think it could be too much like Jim with the overacting. Who? I guess that is the ultimate riddle with this one. I say Johnny Depp.

Hugo Strange
Probably not on everyone's list, mine either until I was trying to fit Bryan Cranston into this universe. He wasn't cast as Lex Luthor, so why not cast him as one of Batman's intellectual counterparts?

Two-Face
It would be nice to see this character done well in both appearance and performance. Tommy Lee had a pretty good look, Aaron Eckhart was a nice realistic look. But, both lacked substance as a character. How about a spot on look, with a actor showing two people at odds within one man's mind? Perhaps a role Leonardo Dicaprio could pull off masterfully.

Man-Bat
Computer graphics and whatnot are pretty top of the line nowadays, why not show us a live action Man-Bat? Even if for a small part of a bigger story. Casting isn't all that important to me here, as again the CGI is what I would be looking at.

Killer Croc
I know that he is in the "Suicide Squad", but how about more of a focus while within a Batman movie? Of course, after August 5th I may change my mind of this, but until then.

I would have included characters like Robin or Batgirl, but I think that those may be included given Robin's suit appearing in "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice". Add its "condition" I would say that there is a story to tell there. It is almost a given that Alfred will be appearing, and after seeing the shape that J.K. Simmons got into for his role of Commissioner Gordon in "Justice League", I would say he is on the list for sure as well. I guess we will find out in the years to come...DC finally has a movieverse going on and it is still all in wait and see mode.

THE JOKER NOT GETTING MAD LOVE?

If not for the internet, we wouldn't get to see anything beyond what would be shown on Entertainment Tonight (or something like that). But then, if not for the internet we wouldn't be exposed to so much hate. Unjustified most of the time. There was the Batfleck casting drama, Wonder Woman not being "big enough" type bullshlacka, and this time around even a clown can't get no love.

That's right, the recently revealed photo of Jared Leto as The Joker made its rounds across the web. While some have learned to take a "wait and see" approach to these things, the majority was already predicting failure for "Suicide Squad". That is usually the case though. People scream for change, yet shun new things (approaches).
Is Jared Leto giving us a version of The Joker that is traditional in the visual sense? No, even though his hair and figure is the closes there has been to the comic books version(s). His teeth? It actually makes sense. How many times has Batman knocked out Mr. J's teeth? One would be safe to assume that The Joker would want to "change them up" every now and again. Then there is the ink job. That is slightly understandable, but at the same time it is something "fresh". And The Joker would be one who may be too vain to get tattoos, but at the same time, he is narcissistic enough to get his "own" tattoos on himself. I wouldn't be shocked if we were to see a Batman logo inked on his back. It would actually "make sense" given his obsession with The Dark Knight.
And although there are still those who disliked Heath Ledger's rendition of The Joker, there were a massive amount of those who had to "eat crow" afterword. From his casting,  to how appeared in promo shots. Heath garnered the same amount of negativity. Sadly he wasn't alive to receive the Oscar, which he would've won regardless.

The funny thing is, while everyone argues over who was the better Joker, and where Leto's rendition will place him (even though we know nothing beyond one picture. one.) among them. Every incarnation of The Joker, even the apparent punk styling and likely "attitude", is actually a piece of who The Joker is. He's a variety of things, and is ever evolving. Just throwing that out there, even though I am sure many will rip both this article and Leto's Joker aha

DC COMICS MOVIEVERSE THUS FAR

Not much is really known about new DC Comics "movieverse" other than what we gathered from "Man Of Steel" back in 2013. We do know the projected film schedule, and what movies they plan to release. With films like "The Flash", "Suicide Squad" (currently being filmed), amongst others set to begin the filming process. But, things could change depending on how things go. We didn't get any real pictures or footage from the shooting of "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice", leaving the upcoming trailer to appease fans appetites. Other than studio released promotional shots, not much has been seen. The trailer will likely give us a hint at what we can expect.

The only thing we do know for sure is who is a part of the movieverse right now. We're still in the initial "phase" of things, but the cast of characters within this movieverse has grown a lot since "Man Of Steel". And will only get bigger, and could possibly change here and there as this massive plan goes on. There has even been a change where Tom Hardy was signed on to play Rick Flag in "Suicide Squad" but a scheduling conflict saw him drop out of the role. But, here is who we have for sure, at this point in time...

Superman/Kal El/Clark Kent

(Henry Cavill)

Henry Cavill will be returning for "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice". And it is somewhat fitting that "Man Of Steel" was the first installment in this movieverse. As it was Superman who launched the superhero genre in comic books. Hopefully the Reeves fans will finally embrace him.

Batman/Bruce Wayne

(Ben Affleck)

There hasn't been a casting choice, and likely won't again, in this movieverse that garnered such negativity. Hopefully Ben Affleck as Batman or Batfleck as he's been dubbed, not only delivers in this role, but causes the haters to jump on the Batwagon after all is said and done.

Wonder Woman/Princess Diana

(Gal Gadot)

While the net was ripping apart Bafleck based on past movies (Daredevil notably), Gal Gadot has been receiving negativity based on appearance alone. Which is sad. More so than Batfleck, here is hoping Gadot crushes her haters with an epic performance as Wonder Woman.

Aquaman/Arthur Curry

(Jason Momoa)

From the promotional photo, Momoa looks badass. Which is something Aquaman fans have been saying about Arthur Curry for years. Big screen, CGI effects, hopefully a great script, and the nay sayers may eat their words...with a trident.

Cyborg/Victor Stone

(Ray Fisher)

Not much is known about Fisher, with his acting resume being only stage performances. "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice" will be his big screen debut. And is expected to continue to portray Cyborg both in Justice League and solo films in the future. No worries though. Studio had to have seen something in him. Plus with the all-star cast he can only get better, and better.

Lois Lane

(Amy Adams)

With the exception of DC Comics "New 52" imprint/continuity, there almost can't be Superman without Lois Lane. Amy Adams returns to the character she played in "Man Of Steel". Hard not to wonder how Wonder Woman being added to the mix will affect Clark and Lois' relationship.

Martha Kent

(Diane Lane)

What was said about Lois, can almost be said for Martha Kent. Superman's one true attachment to earth is his mother (adoptive, but mother none the less). With more of a Justice League aspect to things, it will be interesting to see where Diane Lane fits into the thick of things.

Perry White

(Laurence Fishburne)

"Great Cesar's ghost!" Perry White and of course, The Daily Planet will be returning. Legendary Laurence Fishburne will once again lead the bullpen in "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice".

Alfred Pennyworth

(Jeremy Irons)

Alfred is Batman's Lois Lane in a sense, as you almost can't have Batman without an Alfred Pennyworth to be there to assist him. Jeremy Irons will be bringing the gentlemen butler to life in this movieverse. Already giving Batfleck doubters some sense of reassurance.

Lex Luthor

(Jesse Eisenberg)

With names like Bryan Cranston, Mark Strong, etc being the majorities favorites to play Lex Luthor in DC Comics movieverse, Jesse Eisenbergs being chosen was initially met with criticism. Not Batfleck level, but it was there. Luckily that faded quick as people remembered Eisenberg's past roles showed he was a good choice.

The Joker

(Jared Leto)

Although there wasn't really any negativity around this casting choice, not to the level of what Heath Ledger had faced when the late actor was tapped to play The Joker in "The Dark Knight". Was Ledger's Oscar winning performance the reason fans didn't flip? Is it Leto himself? Or is it that "Suicide Squad" is a villain centered team/film?

Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzel

(Margot Robbie)

Of all of the members of the cast for "Suicide Squad", Margot Robbie may have the biggest challenge. Sure, she has the look to play Harley Quinn. But, almost every fan will be judging her based on her voice. Hopefully, fans will be okay for a similar sound but superior performance.

Deadshot/Floyd Lawton

(Will Smth)

Not as big as he "was", but Will Smith is one of the biggest stars in this movieverse. Smith will be bringing the sharpshooting villain, Deadshot, to life. Given his star power, will we see...Will in other DC Comics movieverse films? Another "Suicide Squad", or a Batfleck film?

Killer Croc/Waylon Jones

(Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje)

Although some say that Adewale will actually play King Shark (understandably as he is a usual member of Task Force X aka Suicide Squad), majority of the reports say Croc. With him being a member of Batman's rogues gallery, will we see Waylon Jones/Killer Croc in Batflecks Gotham?

Captain Boomerang/ George "Digger" Harkness

(Jai Courtney)

Obviously Australian Captain Boomerang will be brought to life by an Aussie. Before he becomes Kyle Reese in "Terminator Genisys", Jai Courtney will be throwing boomerangs in "Suicide Squad".

Enchantress/June Moone

(Cara Delevingne)

It would appear that there will be a touch of magic in "Suicide Squad". Cara Delevingne will be casting spells as Enchantress. Does this mean that "Suicide Squad" could give us a taste of what could be in "Justice League Dark"?

Rick Flag

(Joel Kinnaman)

Basically a leader on the field. Waller calls the shots from afar, Rick Flag sees to it that orders are carried out while working along side Task Force X. Will this be the role Joel Kinnaman (originally Tom Hardy) will portray in "Suicide Squad"?

Amanda Waller

(Viola Davis)

Someone needs to tell the Task Force X or "Suicide Squad" what to do. Viola Davis  brings her stage, television, and film experience to the role of Amanda Waller.

Black Adam

(Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson)

Although The Rock has stated this isn't in the same movieverse, some have said DC looks at all of this as their live action multiverse. That being said, who's to say that The Rock won't be bringing Black Adam into THIS movieverse at some point.

Shazam!/Bill Batson

(-unknown-)

The only thing we know about any of this is that The Rock signed on to play Black Adam. So, although we don't know who will play Shazam! (formerly Captain Marvel), we do know that he will obviously be here. And like stated before, maybe one day Shazam! will be apart of the movieverse this article is focused on.


That is just so far. "Suicide Squad" alone recently posted a group picture on Twitter. While there were the cast members listed above, there are some other actors in the photo. Who they will be playing in "Suicide Squad" has yet to be clarified. There are also the planned films who's rosters have yet to be cast. With there still being almost a year until "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice" hits theatres, and "Suicide Squad" is currently filming in Toronto, we are in "wait and see" mode. But, this is what we have so far, and of course this list will grow, and possibly change as time goes on.

DC COMICS ROLLING DICE WITH MOVIEVERSE?

Usually a positive tone is kept around here, well there is a strong attempt to do so. And of course, one of the millions looking forward to all of this happening. However, it is hard not to "think" and "worry". Why? It's been 2 years since "Man Of Steel", and we are still a year away from "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice". That's quite a gap in between films from the same "story/universe", and that is a lot of time to think about things, and worry about what could go wrong. The main thing that crosses the thought process is this....what if "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice" flops? What will happen then?

DC Comics had put out more, and mainly better received, films in the late 70's to late 90's. That was only Batman and Superman franchises (we'll lop "Supergirl" in with her cousin since they were the same universe) though. Marvel took over after the new millennium, with their characters in more movies and DC only had Batman mainly (one shots from Supes and Green Lantern as well). Here we are in 2015, and beginning next year DC Comics movie schedule is set to explode with there being movies every year for at least the following five years or so. This has fans frothing in anticipation. Understandably, things are starting off with "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice" which has drawing power alone with just Batman versus Superman. This is where the doubt begins to creep in. The movie will also include Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman, even Lex Luthor. That is a lot of characters, and their success will effect the movies that are slated to follow. If the movie fails, what happens to the schedule? Will it remain the same, with tweeks and whatnot made along the way in making the films? Are the actors and actresses "locked in" already? Even "Suicide Squad" comes out the same year, and also holds quite a few characters, although this movies success doesn't really effect the planned movieverse, or not as much as "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice" does. Or will everything be scraped and revamped? For once that might be a longer shot of happening than usual. DC Comics (WB) appears to have invested a lot into this, and with the massive schedule, very confident. It will all depend on how well or how bad "Batman VS Superman: Dawn Of Justice" does. If we're talking "Water World" bad, then a revamp in some aspect is very possible. Hopefully there aren't any changes to the cast after the fact. Reception, scheduling, interest, etc. We don't want a Norton/Hulk thing to happen here.

With about a year to go still, everything is still in wait and see mode. And perception of how things will turn out will change as more of the film is revealed (trailer is heavily rumored to debut in "Mad Max: Fury Road" next month). It would be nice however, if people across the web would focus more on how the story and acting will be, and not an actor/actresses appearance. Okay, back to waiting...

JARED LETO REPORTEDLY UP FOR ROLE OF THE JOKER

It is being reported that Jared Leto is the front runner for the role of The Joker in the future Suicide Squad movie. One could assume that it is almost a for sure thing, with IGN and even DC Comics themselves reporting on the Oscar winner being up for the role. Of course this is Hollywood after all, and anything can happen.

Initial thought was that DC Comics and Warner Bros. is really pushing the "wait and see" button with their new movieverse. Majority of the nerd world unleashed hell after Ben Affleck was cast as Batman. General opinion was that Gal Gadot wouldn't be a good Wonder Woman. And although there wasn't much noise, it would be safe to assume that there are haters of other casting choices (with the exception of The Rock as Black Adam). Nobody knows if these were the right choices, just as much as noone knowing if they were the wrong choices. Even though there are still those who still dislike them, but Michael Keaton and Heath Ledger both proved the doubters wrong. With box-office numbers at least, for those who dislike their interpretations of Batman and The Joker.

Wait and see. That is what we'll be doing with everything. From the upcoming movies, to even whether or not Jared Leto will be giving us his rendition of the Clown Prince Of Crime. Which again is supposedly Suicide Squad. If he does, first question everyone will ask, is when will we see Affleck's Batman and Leto's Joker share the big screen.
