Am I the only one reminded of Macaulay Culkin when seeing Leto's Joker?
Now that's a scary image!

I think her look is interesting, and I especially like the headpiece and her haunted expression. Her skin seems to be greenish and covered with occult tattoos. So based on this one glimpse I think the look is effectively eerie, but she must've been chilly on set!If I were to pick one I'm disappointed in, it's Enchantress. I'm not saying use her original costume (there are more modern adaptations), but what the hell is that? She looks like something from the Grudge.
That trailer has a lot of shots that resemble specific scenes from Batman: Assault on Arkham. Anyone know if that was intentional? While I liked that movie, I hope this one goes somewhere different.

well BvS is borrowing a bit from the dark knight returns and injustice gods among us.
This iteration of Joker more closely resembles the joker from the Killing Joke.
They are definitely drawing inspirations from specific sources. But by no means are these stories/characters being 100% adapted from the comics. Nor should they. The movie universe is its own thing. I'm loving this DCCU they're building.

Do we know yet whether SS and BvS will take place in the same Cinematic Universe?

Yes, it's all the same universe - Superman is mentioned and Batman makes a cameo in this film.
Awesome!
Seeing as despite the DCCU being more gorunded in realism Suicide Squad is including Killer Croc in all his reptilian glory, I'm hopeful that means any future Batman movies in the DCCU will be able to use Batman's weirder enemies.
I wouldn't mind a new Riddler. To get that Schumacher taste out of my mouth.

I was disappointed we never got a Nolan-style Riddler. I love the idea of Nygma as a brilliant, calculating criminal mastermind manipulating everyone from behind the scenes, playing intricate chess games with the lives of the people of Gotham. Schumacher totally missed the point of the character by painting him as manic and zany like a bargain-basement Joker. Jokes are emotional, but riddles are intellectual. They're challenges for the brain. The Riddler should be a match for Batman's intellectual side, a challenge to the master detective.

Agreed. The Riddler always seemed like he would be the perfect fit for a Nolan Batman movie, especially considering the intricate puzzle-like nature of his previous movies Memento and Inception.
And he certainly would have made for a far more interesting villain than, ugh... Bane.
^ Ben Affleck will be playing Batman in Suicide Squad and so far it doesn't look like Superman will be making an appearance.
