Looking forward to this.
WB totally bombed on BvS and killed a pretty easy story. No excuse for that one.
I really liked Suicide Squad, one if my favorite super-hero movies, so glad to see Harley on screen again. Suicide Squad can create a really good universe out of the film as long as they don’t get impatient with it.
Without the stench of BvS and other DC failures behind it I think SS would have been better received. Even with that it still did pretty well and the Harley character took off (tons of Harley’s walking around on Halloween)

People still would have thought the editing and pacing was sloppy, and still would've hated Jared Leto's guts. I agree that BvS was a turd, but Suicide Squad earned its bad reputation all on its own.

It's genuinely earned and well deserved. Every last bit of it. Doesn't matter what anyone feels. Dude, at this point it's like holding onto Impact as becoming the One Great Alternative to WWE. The ship has passed and crashed into the iceberg a long time ago at this point. Sure you'll get escapees making it to land on their life boats like Wonder Woman, but...yeah. I'd say it's more like WCW at this point: Started out strong, absolutely crushed the competition for a bit but then grew stale and kinda piddled out.

Yeah, Suicide Squad had good buzz behind it before it was released... like almost every other DC Cinematic Universe movie... it was... Yeah Man of Steel wasn't very good... but Batman V. Superman's trailers look good... yeah Batman V. Superman was garbage... but did you see the latest Suicide Squad trailer? Of course this REALLY worked to Squad's detriment because the Trailers people loved for Suicide Squad ... basically didn't represent the movie at all. So they scrambled in editing to try and fix it and made it a mess... the best I've ever heard anyone say about it pretty much boiled down to it was a mess... an entertaining one which puts it at the top half of all the DC movies but it was still a mess.

Suicide Squad was doomed from the start. It was a last-minute green light with the release date already set. Ayer was given six weeks to come up with the story and write the script, and was given the order that Joker had to be part of it about halfway through that time period, hence why he's just kinda tacked on. It was originally written to follow on in tone from BVS, but between the success of Guardians of the Galaxy and the positive reactions to the early trailers they injected a bunch of humour into the reshoots and had the aforementioned trailer editors recut the movie. Suicide Squad 2 isn't shaping up to be much better, having gone through a number of different writers and directors, before being put on hold a month after the latest writer-director was hired.

The cinematographer said something recently that implies the name of the movie might be changing.
"I'm in preparation on a film currently called Birds of Prey. It's probably going to have a different title," Matthew Libatique
Granted that could just be Birds of Prey: Harley Quinn is in this... >_>

They could always rebrand it as Gotham City Sirens.

Well my hopes have been buoyed a bit with the casting choices. At least it's not stunt casting or talentless hacks.
