Is Deadshot supposed to be more likable than Superman?
Warner Bros. Circling David Ayer for DC Comics’ ‘Suicide Squad’
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
With Faraci, it's less "unreliable reporting" so much as it is "more than willing to make stuff up in order to fit his narrative." (See: "Snyder is getting secretly fired from Justice League" / "Suicide Squad needs to be funnier" / "People internally refer to the movie as Man of Murder," etc.) He was also bleating on and on a while back that Joaquin Phoenix was the true casting for Doctor Strange, and Cumberbatch was just a smokescreen.
This is his reaction to someone leaking the screenplay for Fantastic Four after opening weekend (and the guy he's berating, we will note, never actually leaked the thing and Faraci never apologized):
Faraci is both wrong all the time and despicable - and those are his good points.
I don't really care about most of these characters - like Deadshot, which is actually a good thing since it means I don't care if they change them. Harley & Joker both seem terrific from what we've seen so far.

How would Enchantress fit into your theory? I'm honestly curious. She seems to be a big wildcard when it comes to the plot right now. We see a lot of footage of her in the trailers, but she doesn't appear to be part of the Squad, or with the Joker either.
Oh yeah, I'd be happy if more of the DC movies had this kind of tone. It's definitely very different from what Marvel goes for, but it's still fun.
EDIT: I'm kind of amazed people still get so worked up over reshoots. There have been plenty of times where movies have gone back for reshoots, and still ended up being great.

Oooh, would be cool if Katana turns out to be Batman's plant on Waller's team
It would be amazing if one of the untitled upcoming movies is actually an Outsiders movie.

A classy guy, he is not. I almost don't know how to interpret these tweets.
According to IGN Ayer has said that he gave the Joker tattoos because he wanted him to feel like a modern gangster because "he's always been a gangster." I guess I can kind of see that. I still think it is a bit weird, but I can get over it if the characterization is good, and so far it looks like it will be.
The article also says that Jared Leto met with "psychopaths and people who had commited horrible crimes" while he was developing his Joker.

Wow, that is a Zach Snyder level horrible explanation for a horrible decision. Joker is many things, but a tattooed gangster? no, just no. Not even Nolan got the character that wrong. sure, some versions of Joker were originally old school gangsters. That does not translate into stereotypical modern day gang member, though. But, whatever. Its a terrible part being played by a pretentious idiot. I never thought someone could do a worse Joker then Christopher Nolan. At this point, I'll take Nolan's grim, almost humorless philosopher who calls himself Joker over the stupid looking nut played by the guy who thinks sending screwed up stuff to cast members makes him edgy. Also, I'm pretty sure Ayer is as bad as Snyder, which is terrifying. Can someone at DC call Michael bay? He's horrible, but still better than anyone else they've hired.
The Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Mark Hamill Jokers are all pretty diverse variations on a theme. That's before you even consider how he's been written in the comics. So I've no problem with Leto giving us yet another variation on the clown prince of crime.
