Let's talk about the deleted bits from the trailers... I will start with this:
That was cut out? Doesn't this happen when [blackout]Deadshot sees the phone[/blackout]?
"In early cuts, the movie's opening detailed June Moon's posession by Enchantress in real time. Reshoots reshuffled the scene to be later in the movie in flashback form in favor of a new opening centered on Deadshot."
"Deadshot in the prison cell, watching the rain fall and thinking about his daughter."
"El Diablo observing the flame of a lit match, before putting it out due to his vow to no longer use his powers."
"El Diablo being escorted to a training center by being placed in a tube that fills with water to quell his flames, and then unceremoniously dropped onto the ground."
"Early interviews showed Captain Boomerang's racism and sexism, but the movie is light on examples of such behavior, which have apparently been deleted. Most of them were reportedly directed at Katana, to whom Boomerang is attracted to."
"Early reports indicated more backstory for Killer Croc, revealing that he entire life as a social outcast due to his physical appearance and has convinced himself that he is beautiful in his own way. Croc crossed paths with Batman while working as muscle-for-hire for numerous Gotham's crime bosses, while secretly planning to take over one day. There were also scenes displaying his affinity for making sculptures out of discarded materials. Aside from jokes about Croc viewing himself as 'beautiful,' one of these were retained in the final cut."
"Also deleted was a scene where he becomes sick at the helicopter escort to Midway City, throws up half-digested pieces of goat, and then eats them again, disgusting the nearby Navy Seals."
"Early cuts reportedly included a passing reference to Slipknot being serial rapist, likely to further paint him as unsympathetic to the audience ahead of his own death."
"More scenes of Rick Flag and June Moon's romantic relationship, including him reading the files of the Suicide Squad recruits after Waller delivers them to him."
"Another scene where Flag and Moon are out on a date."
"Extended scene of Joker interrogating Captain Griggs, including the line, "I can't wait to show you my toys," which was in every trailer, but was removed from the movie."
"Joker and his men escaping after shooting up a restaurant. Harley, who is already affiliated with the Joker, follows them on a motorcycle and intercepts their car. Joker bangs his head against the glass in frustration."
"Joker and Harley then get into a fight, which ends with Harley pointing a gun at Joker's head. Joker sweet-talks Harley into lowering the gun, charming her, then backhands her across the face. Afterwards he sweet-talks her again and they kiss."
"Extended Ace Chemicals scene where Harley jumps into the chemicals. More bits of dialogue from Joker."
"Extended Batmobile chase scene with more interaction between Joker and Harley. One of the examples, presented in all the trailers, is the Joker punching the roof of his car."
"Harley using her baseball bat as a mock gun to play shoot at invisible foes."
"Extended scene of Joker breaking into the nanobomb manufacture facility to arrange for Harley's neck-bomb to be disabled."
"More interactions between Harley and Boomerang. Early cuts apparently included her really disliking him despite growing affectionate to all the other members of the squad."
"Extended bar scene with Harley taking everyone's orders. Deadshot calls for a shot, Katana wants whiskey, Croc and Boomerang settle for beer, Harley asks Diablo wants and he prefers water which she jokes, "is a good idea." The scene was featured in the trailers, but in the movie it cuts directly to Deadshot's speech about them all almost pulling the mission off."
"Removed several scenes with the Joker to repaint his relationship with Harley as more loving rather than abusive."
"Joker and Harley get into an argument after he rescues her in the hijacked helicopter. In early cuts he reportedly pushes her out to kill her, then the helicopter gets shot down. This was apparently reworked into the helicopter getting shot down first and Joker pushing her out to save her."
"Joker returns during the final battle in the subway station, face half-burnt from the helicopter crash, which apparently leads to a brief altercation with the Squad. He calls for Harley to escape with him but she refuses for once in order to help her friends, and the Joker escapes after throwing a live grenade at the group to cover his own escape."
No wink. Just "Ssssshhhhh".
But what could be cut from THIS movie to make room for those scenes?
I can't really think of one because it was really tight. Some might say prologue introductions but I'd say that was needed here personally because many people have no clue who they are.
With all those scenes we're looking at a 2 hr 30-40 minute cut of a risky new take on a genre. That means less screenings per day... Basically I think they had to keep the running time down.
I hear ya, but it seems like a lot of the more iconic trailer shots that were cut were also pretty short while also being visually striking or entertaining. Stuff like the drink order would have fit fine and I don't think a person would have begrudged the minute that would have added by itself.
And you've got guys like me who kept hoping to see more Croc or Boomerang, and got almost nothing from either in the third act of the film.
It's sad because this was so avoidable. Just put the damn scenes in the film. They were right there.Those cut scenes are shockingly annoying to hear they are cut.
Croc attacking Katana, Katana looking at her sword after taking a soul into it, and the bit with her eyes turning black were also not in the movie.
You're kidding, right?But what could be cut from THIS movie to make room for those scenes?
Yea, I know that occasionally a movie trailer will have a quick glimpse or two of something that's not in the final film. That having been said, this is just silly. Over half of the Joker's scenes in the trailers are no where to be found and a lot of other cool scenes from various characters are missing as well. It's getting to the point where it's like, why show us s*** that you're more than likely going to cut? It's better to not let us get attached to these quick little glimpses that let our minds wonder and then build with excitement over what the scenes pertain, than it is to show it to us and then not show it in full and ultimately disappoint.And guess what? Even after release, they're still using shots that aren't in the movie!
What? Ok, now it's personal.Croc attacking Katana, Katana looking at her sword after taking a soul into it, and the bit with her eyes turning black were also not in the movie.
You're kidding, right?
The movie begins with introduction for Deadshot, and then for Harley. Next you have scene with Waller when by extremely lazy exposition and flashy editing and some cool filters and on screen writing you have ANOTHER introduction for Deadshot and ANOTHER introduction for Harley and all other introductions when Waller is TALKING who they are, how bad and crazy they are. It's called bad writing. It's lazy.
In every good screenplay you learn who characters are by their actions. In this movie you can't, because everything is TOLD to us.
I just can't with this movie.
And guess what? Even after release, they're still using shots that aren't in the movie!

It is not as if the movie is too long, it could of easily been another 10-15 minutes long and been perfectly digestible.
