I can't stand Margot Robbie's Harley, nor Leto's Joker. His Joker is coming off as extremelly forced to me. Not "Jack Nicholson" forced. More like "OW the EDGE" forced.
Kind of moot when you consider that VERY recently, the Joker was wearing his own disembodied face (
THAT HE CUT OFF HIMSELF) as a mask. That was dank as hell yo.
If anything, he strongly resembles the current incarnation of the Joker, just with tattoos (my guess is he's a sadomasochist like many adaptations and got off on the pain of being tattooed) and false teeth (presumably because Batman knocked out his originals).
Plus, I've a feeling this movie will end up being called "Harley Quinn, Deadshot And Their Bitches."
You're not very familiar with the Suicide Squad comics, are you? Because you pretty much described them.
Margot Robbie is so far doing an admirable adaption of how Harley Quinn was when she was first inducted into the comics from the TV show. She hadn't yet undergone all her character development and very much was a generically crazy hot chick with a Joker complex. It's not my favorite version of Harley, but they seem to be playing the Suicide Squad film much closer to the source material than Bats v Supes is.
As for her costume, once again, they are playing pretty close to the spirit of the current comics aesthetic while keeping it more in line with the DC Cinematic Universe.
I'm guaranteeing that Harley and Deadshot survive the film (they always do in the comics), but everyone else might be up for the chopping block. It's not called the "Suicide Squad" for no reason...
