Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - Part 9

all of the set pics that we have seen so far have been filmed in public places in Toronto where people can easily get a good view of the set. Compare it to when there were major action scenes filmed for Batman V Superman, they were filmed at night and while there were set pics and videos taken by people brave enough to get on the set, we didn't get as much from Batman V Superman as we are on Suicide Squad.

When they were filming at the michigan central station the only possible view was from afar and the only thing to be seen was smoke and explosions that we don't even know the context of. Or when they were filming the Batmobile chase scene and there were very little set photos of it because they were filming in Detroit and the streets of Detroit are practically empty at night.

 

New thread!!

Over 9000.

 

That batmobile set video was glorious.

 

It would be awesome if the last person that Bruce had to use the Bat-Armor for before having to fight Superman is Killer Croc.

 

So regarding Croc's look:

I don't have a problem with it. I think that they're going for something like this:



He's big for a man (AAA 6'2"), but he's not the size he is in the Arkham games and more recent comics.

I think he'll be around the size he was when he fought Bane in Knightfall, and that's fine by me.

 

My biggest issues with the recent games are the drastic size shifts. Even Bane was to big on Venom in Origins and Killer Croc was just insane in the first Arkham

 

Some people like these characters big and some don't.

Even in the comics, there have been variations. So don't need to worry about who's right.

In the end, some will be disappointed and some won't be. That is all it comes down to.

 

Thats right sort of, but when it comes to live action some things start to look silly. A little guy punching a big guy look silly.

 

Comic book movies always have silly elements to them. That doesn't stop you from enjoying them now, does it? lol

 

I stopped me enjoying the fist Hulk movie, Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Captain America The First Avenger and Green Lantern.

 

Believe me or not, this is comic accurate size wise and the best option for the movie for some

 

In the newer books maybe, and I'm not attacking the personal preferences of fans, but the physics problem of a normal human (Batman) punching something some much bigger than him into submission is problematic. Like when Iron Man decelerates from 200 mph and somehow his organs aren't in the bottom of of shoes. It just seems wrong. These movies are (to some us) our favourite characters coming to life, and not dying instantly from traumatic events brought around by massive g force shifts.

and I get not everyone feels this way, that's fine. We'll get what we get.

 

I too think Batman punching a significantly bigger being is too silly for the big screen. But there are other ways to show that Batman can take him down (i.e. without punching with his bare hands).

Even Spidey never punched the Lizard in ASM1. He used other tactics.

 

That's true. Either way it's going to be interesting.

 

True, but Spidey COULD have - he has super strength...but Batman doesn't. But you are right, there are other ways to take down a bigger foe than regular punches.

 

Croc isn't that big here and Affleck's Batman isin't a small guy and so I don't get the comments about punching croc will be silly..Unless it's been confirmed that by movie magic,he's going to be bigger!?

Either way,I think this batman can at least punch&kick him from behind a bit and then just use gadgets to take him down

 

No we are saying it would be silly if he was as huge as he is in the Arkham games. I like the way it is.

 

Then in that case,I agree since he's only a strong man with a rare skin decease and not an actual mutated monster like Lizard. He can be buffer and taller but shouldn't be comic bane size and especially not AA size

 

That's more like Killer T.Rex

 

Croc should be extremely strong, quick and resilient. He should be capable of a degree of low cunning. His aggression should be frightening. But he shouldn't be a superpowered "big bad". Even in his absurdly super-sized appearances in recent comics, Batman usually beats him, with recourse to little more than what's in his belt and a quicker brain.

 

Doesn't Bane beat him, break his arms etc.?

 

There's always the 'electric knuckle-dusters' he used in Assault on Arkham for fighting King Shark.

 

I guess the whole Killer Croc size thing all comes down to personal preference. And no 100% of the population is going to get theirs with ANY comic book film. People argue over the best Iron Man armor, the best Batman suit, heck, even the best Wolverine hairstyle (which I am guilty of myself). You just can't satisfy everyone.

On another note, has King Shark been confirmed for this film yet?
