So I'm willing to bet the guy on each end of the line are dying (characters named El Diablo and Slipknot), as well as that swamp looking girl (Enchantress I believe).
Characters like Katana and Killer Croc aren't usually associated with the team, so they could also die.
Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Rick Flagg, and Captain Boomerang are the guys that are the main characters of Suicide Squad.
Jared Leto's Joker and Viola Davis' Amanda Waller will also be main characters too methinks.

Everybody looks fine. Didn't know they were getting Katana too. So weird that they're doing this with no ties to the TV-verse, seeing as how they have the Squad on the show and have done 5 of the characters in the film already. I'm still on the fence how I feel about that. But Will looks good. Margo looks good (though, the fucking blue. I don't know when that started, but that's just me nitpicking). Katana looks dope as fuck, and Croc don't look stupid (which is the best you could wish for there. Everything else is just your stock dark design, but the about four look so good, I don't hate it.
21. "the conflict with the TV universe is what kills me" In response to Reply # 8
it's like they're trying to ruin the TV brand which is actually successful and popular. they're showing pictures basically announcing Katana in the movie and Katana will be in uniform on Arrow this week. well that's not confusing at all? (sarcasm)
36. "It really seems counter productive to me" In response to Reply # 21
Like, they're shitting on their own brands. It's why they claim they haven't put Batman or Superman proper on any show on TV. So why are they doing it here?

And of the people that do watch The Flash, most will understand the concept of alternate universes. So like maybe 1% of of the movie's audience is gonna be confused.
I'm totally pulling numbers out of my ass, but... you know.
12. "right? shit looks hokey as fuck like" In response to Reply # 10
They teenage mutant turtle cast offs... like they Cobra rejects from gi joe 3 or some shit. Croc and Harley look better than i thought. Well looks dumb to me, he must wear that mask like twice in the flick- could've just given him an eye patch

that began in like 2005 or so is the rise of these comic book movies and, more importantly, the DC vs. Marvel fanboy fights that happen in broad daylight all over social media and in discussion forums like this. things were better when you fucks kept this bullshit to yourselves while camped out behind some library somewhere or where ever you geeks go to play D&D and trade pogs or whatever the hell you do while you read comix and argue (actually ARGUE) over which company produces the best bullshit (when it's clear the shit is subjective and not everyone will like either and that's why it's great there are 2 and who gives a fuck if DC ppl don't like Marvel comix and vice versa).
the genie is clearly out of the bottle now. there's no going back, unfortunately.
and now w/the new Star Wars coming there'll be even more awful geekery all out in the open over the next few yrs. and if they build that Lucas museum here in Chicago it'll be like the Deathstar for nerds. the gravitational pull of geekery will be overwhelming.

and info at our fingertips. Can't have one without the other.
Comic book movies I can appreciate with the inner kid in me. Skating on privacy rights I can't clap to...which is really the most annoying thing about the revenge of the nerds uprising.

>i would gladly give up smartphones if it would mean a >significant reduction in the mainstreaming of geekery.
Especially when they ruin crappy cartoons with crappier movies. Transformers the cartoon sucked in retrospect but it was awesome for me as a kid. The fact that the movies around it were wack by comparison IMO says a lot. I still saw all of them though like some glutten for punishment hoping they'd figure it out. *sigh*
>even as a kid i thought comix were lame. lol > >though i had Superfriends bed sheets and liked watching >Superman and Batman movies. and old episodes of the Batman >and Wonder Woman TV shows.
Well see, they may have been lame but you found 'some' enjoyment out of them (just in different formats). lol That's kinda my stance universally.

Marvel fans been giving DC fans wedgies and shoving them into lockers since the 1960s, though.
Now that they've finally got some movies worth a damn, they've become even more insufferable and DC fans have become even more whiny and defensive (self included).
This shit brings out grown people's inner petty grade schooler.

unexcited. Actually lemme take that back. I'm excited that my favorite comic book series ever even made it to the silver screen. There's no way they'll be able to satisfy fans of the original run though. The concept of the series allows them do pretty much anything.

I swear fools live to complain about every little costume and character detail.. Fools complaining that Harley aint wearing the jester costume. In real life that shit would look campy as hell, Adam West Batman style... SMH
Fools already hating on this before the first trailer.. I loved the old days when you knew nothing about a movie until you saw the trailer on TV, sometimes it was a major event.
