See, I love the dark, melancholy, etc. My sentiment has always been, "bring on the gloom!" But HQ has always been fun to me, very quirky, hilariously whimsical, and has a morbid sense of humor. I loved the portrayal of her in Batman the Animated Series, and I liked her standalone graphic novels. I couldn't get into the actual Suicide Squad comics/novels either. It's a bit too.... humm "macho?" for me? Too much muscles, guns, n' shoot-em-up lol.
I'm going to try this film only for Harley, I just hope they make her character fun, not just overly sexual and boring, like these kinds of films usually turn out.
Catwoman. *Face palm* that WAS a disaster. And I really like Halle Berry a lot. She was an excellent Storm imo. I thought she would bring a sort of Eartha Kitt style of Catwoman, and she really is the spitting image of how Selina Kyle looks in the comics. But I was heartbroken by that film (she's my fav DC character).
Who knows how this is going to turn out? I recently heard that Will Smith is going to be Deadshot. I think this DC film is already a cocktail of bad acting and total cheese.
