I hope the Joker grenade scene is in the extended cut.

Even after being disappointed with the film, I still think that's one of the coolest Joker visuals put on screen. Would be a shame not to see this scene in the Extended Cut.

I agree. Thanks for posting that gif.
 
That's all that matters to the studio. What the fans feel is irrelevant if they keep investing money into it.

It's like going to a restaurant. I go out to eat and order a steak. There's some sorta calamity in this restaurant and my steak comes out undercooked. I flip out and demand to the owners that they get their kitchen in order, otherwise I take my business to the restaurant across the street. Owners hear my complaint and offer to readjust.

Now readjusting takes time, I understand that, but I should probably tread cautiously right? Nope, I go right back and order another steak that is by all accounts still raw but hey now the restaurant has a cool band playing so whatever...at least it's fun I guess. I pay them again for a raw ass steak and complain the whole time while eating that raw ass steak. So they offer a very similar steak that may or may not be still raw, but it's definitely a bigger slab this time. I then pre-order that potentially still terrible steak. All the while telling the owners they need to fix their kitchen, all the while still giving them my money for what I deem to be lackluster food.

Do you, in this situation, think that the owners will actually care about me complaining about their food when I keep giving them my business regardless?

With all due respect, there is a massive correlation between reception(be it critical or audience) and box office returns. Granted, the type of movie factors into exactly how much etc etc. but nobody on earth is going to tell me that SS wouldn't have made more money if it had gotten a 90% RT rating. Was the movie massively successful w it's 26%? Yup. Would it have been more successful with a higher rating? Yup. And nobody on earth is going to convince me that WB is okay with Marvel wiping the floor with them in terms of critical reception.

There's always more money to be made. I'm sure WB wants to do whatever they can to make more of it. My point is merely that they aren't going to go and apologize and feel all bad over a movie, good or bad, that made bank. The complaints don't mean nearly as much when they still take home the dub.
 
The Joker defaced batsuit is another mystery I'll be curious to see if it makes the Extended Cut. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense they'd make numerous collectibles and Hot Toys figures of something not featured in the movie.

I imagine the Jokerized Batman was what Joker would have seen in his Enchantress induced vision.
 
^ I was under the impression that was never in the film to begin with.
 
I pre-ordered the SS Bundle on VUDU (Theatrical Cut + Extended Cut). Definitely excited to watch the EC on November 15th when it drops.

It's a little bogus that the Theatrical Cut is coming in 4K UHD on Vudu, but the Extended Cut is not.
 
Only a week to go. I'm really looking forward to it.
 
I am happy for the people who enjoyed this movie, but for me it was a massive disappointment. It was my most anticipated movie by far since it was announced, and only Spectre and Hateful 8 came close, but in the end it was not anywhere near as good as I expected it to be.
 
I think a lot of us share that opinion. I definitely expected a much better movie, but it is what it is.

I think it just stung for me, because it wasn't the movie that it was built up to be. I'll watch it again knowing what to expect though and maybe I'll be able to see the film differently.
 
After reading through the list of apparent Suicide Squad deleted scenes, I could easily see most if not all of them fitting into 11 minutes. A lot of them probably aren't more than a few seconds.
Again, hoping for this scene in particular...Can't see why it wouldn't fit in with the theatrical ending:

"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."

Well there is this whole thing with Harley tricking Enchantress because she thinks Joker is dead

Yeah...I really really really wanna see the original final act aye. It must've been so different and I can't see how it could be any worse than the one we got.

Well considering all the bizarre edits/plot holes throughout, I don't think one more would be all that surprising. Plus Joker & Harley are both crazy and unpredictable and probably lie... I mean "they're bad guys, it's what they do." :p

Thats a very Harley/Comicbook line though..

I think we've seen more footage from that scene when locals were filming with their phones, than we saw in the actual movie. Looks like we're getting the whole thing this time. And yes - that is a very Harley Quinn line and I have no problem with it.
 
I've noticed the Extended Cut clips we've gotten look normal and don't have the shaky "acid trip filter" from the theatrical version. It would be nice to see that taken out completely to be able to appreciate the cinematography, which aside from that looked really good.
 
Great Joker moments, neither of which were in the movie :huh:
