Yep, and Marvel did a masterful job of road mapping a MCU franchise. DC seems to be slapping together the Batman, Supes, WW, etc franchises in an attempt to make a copy "DCU franchise" and because they are treating each character as a franchise in and of itself, it’s disjointed because MCU works with a coordinated narrative regardless of what stand alone property they are working with.

DCs franchises have always operated in a vacuum, and they really haven't figured out how to meld them and crossover on screen. Gotham is Gotham, Metropolis is Metropolis, and never the two shall meet has been how DC and WB have always treated those properties in film.

The JL always sort of operated as a coexisting alternative scenario; playing with the idea of "what if all these guys teamed up", and there was never really much cohesion with their solo storyline narratives.

I've done no such thing. I made a simple point, and people like you decided to jump on it with really stupid responses.

Look at your own arguments about quality, instead of hunting for conspiracies. You say that the Marvel movies are consistently good, then you insist that Marvel's getting a tongue bath, despite several of their movies getting very low end 'good' results.

And, seriously, looking at audience score, especially in the first week of a hyped fan boy movie? You know better than that.

But let's not forgot that it took Marvel nearly a decade to even get rolling. The Hulk movies were awful. X-Men (Fox) and Spider-Man 1&2 (Sony) were far better than anything produced by Marvel until Iron Man, which IMO, doesn't hold up well.

Both Thor films, IM 2&3 and the first Captain America don't hold up well at all, IMO.

I think people forget how Spider-Man 1 and 2 were due to how shitty 3 was.

Spider-Man 2 was fantastic.

Truth here.

Just saw SS today. Good movie, not great, but good. Leto's Joker reminds me of a more psychotic version from Batman The Animated Series.

Agree with this...plot was light...editing got right into the movie fast. I really enjoyed the squad themselves though. Not enough Joker to form a major opinion. I think there is a future for this team...but needs a better plot/villain. I'll see it again...it was fun. 8/10 for me

Music was fantastic...also there is a cool mid movie scene and after credit scene.

It's hilarious Leto did so much method acting and stupid shit for 20 minutes of screen time.

He's working on the big Legion Of Doom tentpole for 2018.

Oh shit, I was just joking about that, but I was looking for something on the internet and I found a leaked trailer for the DC group-up movie. I'll put it in spoiler tags. I don't know how long it's going to be up:

I def agree with Angry Joe...he didn't care much for bvs previously but liked Suicide Squad.

Jeremy Jahns also liked it which was unexpected

I'm hoping we see him more in the Batman stand alone...

It was good, not great. Felt "disjointed" to me, way too clunky in some sense. Loved the visuals, loved Harley and Deadshot, and I thought Amanda Waller was spot on of her portrayal from the animated series.

Again, I get the feeling that DC is trying way too hard to catch Marvel. The soundtrack alone, although good, just felt like they were trying to steal from GotG's success.

Confirmed what we already pretty much already knew.

Geoff Johns wasn't involved I'm hoping WW is the first to get that critical acclaim...I feel like they need to have an extended cut or add these as deleted scenes.

DC really needs a good reviewed film...I'm hoping SS still gets the $$$ cause it was good, even if the plot could've been better.
