autumnal li
: JUST finished it, and I really liked it
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
my assumption for why batman isn't....doing any damn thing in this film is that it must take place at the same time as some part of justice league
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I don't really like their version of Zsasz much, but I didn't expect that I would.

autumnal li
god yes
autumnal li
I would watch TEN more movies like this one

autumnal li
: hell yes.

I described it as the tone they wanted Suicide Squad to have after they mangled it
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I can see that
autumnal li
only this movie actually like, knew it was going for that tone all the time, so it works
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I have a feeling The Suicide Squad will probably have this tone
autumnal li
The Suicide Squad?
autumnal li
is that a sequel
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
yes
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
James Gunn directed
autumnal li
ffff
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
SLIGHTLY different cast, though
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
We've still got Harley, Amanda Waller, Rick Flagg and Captain Boomerang, but we're adding in
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Polka Dot Man, Rat Catcher and King Shark
autumnal li
they dropped Will Smith, huh?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
yeah
autumnal li
(I'm not super surprised because his salary was a huge chunk of the budget)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Idris Elba was gonna replace him as deadshot, but he's now playing a different character in case they can get will back for a standalone
autumnal li
(and he was charming despite how hacked-to-bits the movie was but not charming enough for the cost, I don't think)
autumnal li
(like if the movie had actually made BANK it would be different)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
There's also a SECOND suicide squad that consists of Jon Cena as Peacemaker, Sean Gunn as Weasel, Nathan Fillion as....someone and some others
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
They're....definetly going for a lighter tone
They're....definetly going for a lighter tone

oh my god, he's playing Arm Fall Off Boy
oh my god, he's playing Arm Fall Off Boy

Idris Elba SEEMS to be wearing his Pacrim outfit X3
๐๐พ๐ถ๐ฒ
I really liked the movie. my stepdad hated it. which made me realize how I sometimes just don't get him
Gayocalypse
my assumption about why batman isn't doing anything is because when he heard harley blew up ace chemicals he was like "good for her. she can have the next 48 hours to herself" and then the entire rest of the movie was the next 48 hours
Gayocalypse
bc yeah, dropping the joker? big deal
๐๐พ๐ถ๐ฒ
haha that is an excellent point
๐๐พ๐ถ๐ฒ
also batman was busy turning from ben affleck into robert pattinson. that has to take some time and effort
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
autumnal li
: hahaha you're right
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Gayocalypse
: I like that assumption!
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I enjoyed how Montoya was all "Sionis is gone, but some other asshole will just take his place" and then I thought about it and went "....oh. I guess thats Penguin, based on the movie schedule."
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
๐๐พ๐ถ๐ฒ
: clearly, batman is in his....cocoon?
Jaq
Re: Batman. Well, Black Mask was apparently more a Catwoman villain than one Bats crossed batarangs with that much
Jaq
This is what I'm told, anyway
Jaq
there's obviously adjacent plots related to Bruce Wayne in his expanded canon, of course
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
He's very much originally a Batman villain.
Jaq
I don't doubt it, but I'm told he tends to pop up more in Catwoman-related plots than straight Batman ones.
Jaq
Also the extent of my Bat-knowledge is the Animated series, the Tim Burton movies and two of the nolanverses, I am definitely not claiming to be the most widely read
Jaq
but I will say this movie was my first exposure to this character in any way
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
He's had some interaction with Catwoman, violently so, but for the most part he's usually focused on Bats, though he also has a pretty specific vendetta against Bruce Wayne himself for bailing out his company and....apparently not having ever bitten by a racoon
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
(Roman Sionis has a weird af backstory, even for a batvillain)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
If you remember that plotline in the first burton movie with Joker's girlfriend the model who gets her face disfigured and has to wear a ceramic mask, that's actually a Roman Sionis storyline weirdly
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
(meaning, he did that to his girlfriend, a model )
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Gayocalypse
Am I wrong in remembering this, wasn't his dad Richard Sionis one of the villains in Gotham, some dude who ran an office supply fight club?
Gayocalypse
no. that was Richard Sionis. in Gotham Richard was obsessed with war and battle and swords. the mask was to hide identity for purposes of plausible deniability. pretty sure within Gotham they were setting up for Roman to have a similar obsession later with war and masks
Gayocalypse
you remembered correctly
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Hooray!
