Choice words from Ezra Miller - who plays THE FLASH, in Zack Snyder’s JUSTICE LEAGE film - as quoted from EW.com (along with the above image):
“He annoys everybody, but he doesn’t have any specific beef with anyone.”
“Uncle Fish Curry [Aquaman] is very grumpy. Dad [Batman] gets grumpy too. (He’s had a long life of fighting crime.) Wonder Woman is very considerate, so even though she’s annoyed with the Flash, she’s still very compassionate.”

Utterly brilliant HONEST TRAILERS for Suicide Squad that I can hardly deny nor disagree with (but I still enjoyed the film :p) - which judging from online responses to my posts, folks would love this like gangbusters hahahaha … So y’all better be SHARING or RETWEETING this, fhanks muchly! MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA

Folks like to hate on SUICIDE SQUAD quite a bit, and I’ve read more hate and vile spewed (*over-exaggeration, perhaps) on it, than I have read/heard “positive things”. Pity.
As a person of the latter persuasion, I had actually enjoyed the film in it’s theatrical edition, and upon watching the “Extended Cut”, I heart this film MORE!
It might be just 12+minutes worth, but this version slightly edges towards “4” over my previous 3 x Popcorns (over 5), so deal with it :)
Characters are further fleshed out, be it “motivations”, or simple characterisations that show them beyond the simplistic cut-outs (which worked for me, I’m not looking for too layer or nuanced a performance about “evil-doers” lol), including the cliched “bro”-moment between Deadshot and Rick Flag (below), which left me cringing but smiling, I admit … and with the extras/deletes, the role of “Harley Quinn” has become a much more interesting character to be seen in her sequel solo film! … but, maybe that’s just me :)
Scroll down for video clips of some of the deleted scenes, in case you’d not want to rewatch it again, on DVD/BLu-Ray or online sources (*cough*).

Above is the “Extended Joker Arkham Scene” where he escapes his cell and tortures Dr Quinzel, while directly below is the behind-the-scenes clip of said footage.
Harleen Quinzel chases The Joker, in this scene which shows Dr Quinzel confronting the Joker over him escaping her “love”, which I thought was a very interesting scene to be had, IMHO.
“Harley Vexing The Squad” while they head towards the “swirling trash in the sky” - is an utterly interesting sequence where Harley tries to mindf**k Killer Croc, and Katanna removes her mask! “Don’t act like a drunken stripper”! says Deadshot hahaha.
Pace-wise, I’d understand this might pull the film down, but “character wise”, this made a much better support for Harley’s “crazy”, not just in action, methinks!
Here’s a closer look at the tattoos on actor Jared Leto’s “JOKER” as seen in the SUICIDE SQUAD movie … a film I enjoyed but for the uninspiring tattoo images seen here (the arrow in a “robin” was a nice touch, only seen here in the video hahaha), with the designs like someone who picked them out of a image-clip book - of an exact same style of a singular tattooist - and thought they looked like they “told a story”, but instead no one felt interested enough, but for the video shown here.
This makes The Joker here uncreative, and utterly “fake”, not the clown prince of crime people hold him up in a pedestal to be … “pimp-daddy-joker” with tasteless tattoos! hahahaha
No, I do not blame Mr Leto at all, I blame whoever signed off on these. Felt like “suits” who though this would be “cool” hahahaha
And no, I do not have a tattoo on my body, so I would not know how to appreciate the tattoos on the Joker’s body … but I reckon if anyone would tattoo the Joker’s body, would be the Joker himself, and it would be mind-blindingly warped like his brains were.
A couple of videos showcasing behind-the-scenes "Suicide Squad" footage of "The Joker" and "Harley Quinn", whose "relationship goals" seems to be aligned with a lot of post-millennial GenZ'ers, contrary to old fogeys like myself (*cough*), and is at the very least an "observation" of this generation, rather than a commentary, methinks. But then again, I'm one of the folks who enjoyed the SUICIDE SQUAD, as opposed to the deluge of hate spewed on online channels (think "Facebook", with more words to be had than 140 characters hahaha).
The first Full Trailer for WONDER WOMAN has debut, alongside a trio of poster images, showcasing Gal Gadot as the Amazonian Princess, out in “Man’s World” circa World War One!
More of the story is revealed in this trailer, along with fantastical fight-scene doing to the previous teasers … alas the scant few words uttered, seen somewhat “suspect”, but it would be fairer to see and hear more, I reckon.
HOT TOYS PRESS: "I can't wait to show you my toys."

Starring Amber Heard - scroll down for more snaps, including concert art, and a slightly brighten image of the above (Courtesy of @Gabriel_SoaresD)! … then see Actor Jason Momoa’s response to see his “wife” (j/k) MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
Released circa New York Comic-Con 2016 (Oct 6-9), is this behind-the-scenes featurette for JUSTIC LEAGUE and Zack Snyder thanking the crew for the filming wrap. Gotta love Aquaman’s antics, no? LOL
REACTION PRESS: "The heroic villains of the summer blockbuster Suicide Squad are coming soon as Action Figures! Collect The Joker (shirtless), Killer Croc, Katana, Enchantress, Underwater Batman, Deadshot, and Inmate Harley! Each figure is 3 3/4" tall and fully posable! Coming in January!"
Truthfully, I’ve been wrecking my brain as to what collectibles I want to get of the SUICIDE SQUAD characters - heck, I like the movie and want to somehow keep the entire squad - with Hot Toys’ 1/6th out of my financial reach, and the Mattel figures are not much cheaper off, I’d thought to get busy with the Cosbaby versions … but now, NOW I KNOW WHAT I WANT! Exept for this nagging feeling the OG Harley Quinn ReAction figure might end up being someone’s “Exclusive Edition” dammit….
Director Zak Snyder “celebrates” the last day of filming Ben Affleck as “Batman” in the upcoming Justice League movie, to show the new “Tactical Batsuit”!
Does it remind you of Nite Owl in his Watchmen? Or have we seen enough of a “tactical” ala Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy? Doesn’t matter really, it only works as a new action figure / toy … sorry, I cannot help but think this way- apologies to the costume designers and art department folks who work in this for a living :p
