Suicide Squad – From the Trailer

So the studio execs said they won't release online the footage for Suicide Squad. And they also said that they are upset with the fans who leaked the footage online. And they also said that, maybe, next time they won't show anything at all.

And then they let David Ayer release it. It makes no sense at all, but still - now we have the Suicide Squad footage in all its twisted gloriousness. Check it out below!

Moving on, here are the things you (didn't) miss from this trailer!

The perfect setting for this kind of conversation
The perfect setting for this kind of conversation

This is the underworld, where bad people live, where bad people do their bad deeds. And the tone is bleak, dark - as Viola Davis's Amanda Waller speaks about the Suicide Squad, we get a sense that she is in control and she knows it.

But what does that mean? It means that she, probably, also made a pact with the devil, so to speak, in order to control the hardened criminals. Why do we say that? You cannot speak so gallantly about the devil(s) while cutting a juicy beef steak (also: Are you the devil?)

Then we hear the reason why all this is happening: these evil doers, some with superpowers, already existed. But Superman gave them the impulse to creep back from the shadows.

Quite surprisingly, the next character we see in the clip, as she is talking about superpowered beings, isn't Killer Croc or some other villain.

On the next page, the reason why Task Force X was assembled!

Suicide Squad's Enchantress

The birth of Enchantress
The birth of Enchantress

The first character is Enchantress - better yet, June Moone. In the comics, she is a freelance artist who becomes empowered after meeting a magical being in a castle. Obviously, the setting is changed in this Suicide Squad, as we see June Moone stumbling across something in a cave.

It's safe to assume that Suicide Squad will also be an origin story for Enchantress. Which leads us to a rumor which said that this one character will be the reason why the Squad was put together from the first time.

The rumor said that Lex Luthor captured her and intended to use her as a weapon. It's safe to assume that it won't be so. However, as we know from the comics, Enchantress doesn't know how to control her powers at first, which leads her to do bad things. And we can further assume that Amanda Waller takes notice of her and sends the worst of the worst after her.

So she isn't a Suicide Squad member - but you already knew that, since she didn't appear in any of the leaked pics from the set. And this raises one big question - check out the next page!

Enchantress as a connection

She does look... Dark
She does look… Dark

Enchantress might just be the most important character in the movie, even if she will have just a secondary role in the overall plot. And that is because, quite a while ago, another rumor was spread, when she was announced for Suicide Squad. And that rumor connected this movie to another one.

And that was Justice League Dark. As we know, Guillermo del Toro handed Warner Bros the script and waited for an approval, only to leave the project (a couple of weeks ago or so). Now this doesn't mean that Justice League Dark won't happen. And, presuming that Suicide Squad also plays as an origin story for Enchantress, where does this lead?

After she learns how to control her powers, will she team-up with other DC characters in order to battle demonic creatures? It is flimsy, we know, so we'll just leave it in here.

On the next page, another possible origins story!

Harley Quinn

Harley and Joker - the beginning of the romance
Harley and Joker – the beginning of the romance

Besides the other big villainous character (of which we see just a couple of shots), Harley Quinn is the most important character in Suicide Squad. This is known ever since we've found out about the script being rewritten. So does this mean that Suicide Squad will also be an origin story for her? We see her transformed, licking the prison bars, cocking a baseball bat, chewing bubble gum, and other things. So maybe what follows is in some flashback.

There is a hint that this will happen, right when the trailer ends.

We know that the relationship between the Joker and Harley is a very twisted one, a sort of Stockholm syndrome taken to the extreme. If this Harley is based in any way on the comics, then she used to be a psychiatrist in Arkham, falling in love with the Joker after attempting to treat him.

Of course, she is abused by him. Is this what the final scene from the teaser is all about? It sure appears so. Isn't she the one, dressed like a doctor, being thrown on the bed by one of Joker's goons? Isn't she the one tied on the bed, with Joker caressing her? It sure appears so.

But will there be other origins stories flashbacks as well? Check out on the next page!

The other villains

Suicide Squad: Assemble!
Suicide Squad: Assemble!

Obviously, we have footage of the other villains do-gooders as well. Deadshot seems to be important too - he might also have some flashbacks, since we see him also in civilian clothes, with his daughter.

So, in a way, taking on this role in the Suicide Squad is also a shot at redemption from him, a means of escaping and reuniting with his daughter.

A rumor said that the movie will take its cues from the Assault on Gotham animation. We don't know and we don't believe so. But, if this flashback with Deadshot and his daughter is indeed what we believe to be, it may as well happen.

Killer Croc, Katana, Rick Flagg, El Diablo, Slipknot are also in the footage. As well as Captain Boomerang - we don't really like Jai Courtney as an actor, but this might be the role to change this.

Next, what we all expected!

The Joker of Suicide Squad

Oh, the chills! When the first pic of him was released, we didn't know what to make of it - the tats, the grill, the everything yelled Nooo!. Deranged? Give us a break"¦

However, now that we saw him, it does make sense. He is in no way the campy Jack Nicholson, nor the cold and calculated Heath Ledger (even if the voice does bear a resemblance). He is completely different, a true psychopath with a plan - which wasn't revealed yet (if it will ever be).

And, after seeing and hearing him, we actually don't have a problem any longer with his physical appearance. Everything that bothered us before doesn't distract us, but adds to his twisted persona. In this cinematic universe, this is what a deranged mind would do to itself.

We can speculate that he will appear in the movie just in flashbacks, just like we can believe the rumors saying that the Squad is sent after him. But it won't do any good, until further information is revealed.

On the next page, the"¦ what are they doing here?!?

The army men

Why so many soldiers in a covert op?
Why so many soldiers in a covert op?

The Comic Con footage of Suicide Squad features plenty of action, with the military involved in some capacity. We don't know why. The Squad takes part in covert operations (as Amanda Waller says), so fighting alongside the military makes no sense.

And that is the military, seeing the many helicopters firing their big guns inside the city - or isn't it? What do you think? What will their part be in Suicide Squad?

On the next page, a heap of pics from the trailer!

Pics from the trailer!

We'll just leave them here. All in all, this is one good/awesome teaser trailer, which shows us what we can expect from Suicide Squad, as far as the tone of the film is concerned. The first trailer will certainly reveal plot points, as well as some feats of superhuman abilities.

Oh, and I Started A Joke…
