That was one of the major drags on Suicide Squad for me, which is saying something considering how many problems it had. They just hit you over the head with “fun” songs in a way that comes across as very forced and, ultimately, generic. It was also very distracting.

This doesn’t look to be much different overall, though in JL the “fun” choices have been replaced with bombastic choices. I don’t know how well they’ll integrate these songs into the film but I have a sneaking suspicion they’re using that to liven things up in response to criticism of the dour nature of previous entries.

The only reason I crack on folks who are so turned off by the tone and “color” of this is that neither really matters. If the movie sucks it won’t be because of the tone or color choices, but the writing. If the characters are little more than archetypes with a convoluted plot, the tone won’t matter.
