Not everyone will probably be satisfied like past performances on the character though.

Nicholson was the only live Joker performance in film I've ever enjoyed.

Really? I always hated it. Ledger sent that prick back to acting school.

Hollywood Life have some inside information on Jared Leto's preparations to play The Joker in David Ayer's Suicide Squad adaptation, which is gearing up to shoot in Toronto very soon. According to them, the actor is confident that his interpretation of the iconic Batman villain will be the "best yet", and he will do everything he can to set his Joker apart and not step on the toes of Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger's portrayals of the character. 

“He wants to make the character completely his own. He knows that this role may be his most difficult ever, but he is confident that he will make his version of the Joker the best. This Joker will be more cerebral and comedic than what we have seen before, nobody should expect a copycat version. It’s going to be awesome!”

UltimateMarvel wrote:Cerebral and comedic? I don't understand what exactly he means by that? As in calculating or intelligent?

WyldeMan wrote:Cerebral would be intellectual, meaning Joker will be as smart as he should be and Comedic would probably refer to the fact that Joker was always one for intelligent pranks. He's probably just a very smart and twisted individual who finds comedy in terror and death. Essentially cerebral and comedic are exactly what you'd want from The Joker.

UltimateMarvel wrote:Cool! I'd say Ledger's Joker was a little bit of that in the way he executed his evil plan of attacks.

According to Latino review scooper El Mayimbe, David Ayer's Suicide Squad will be taking on Onslaught and their leader, Antiphon. In the comics these guys were a team of supervillians made up of various terrorists from Qurac (a fictional Middle Eastern Country in the DC Comics universe), and Greek team member Antiphon was a fairly minor character with super-speed powers -- but it sounds like there might be a few changes made for the movie interpretations.

"Onslaught are hunting super heroes & villains for their own agenda," reports Mayimbe. "They're like a special ops team made up of mercenaries. Antiphon is a burn victim & has a prosthetic leg." He also reckons this was the role Ed Harris was rumored for, but has no information on who'll actually play the character yet.

Like Task Force X, there have been several incarnations of Onslaught over the years but Antiphon was a member of the most recent one, and his team-mates included: Digital Djinn, Hyve, Rustam (who was actually the leader) and Tolteca. Will those guys make up Onslaught in the movie? We may have more information on that tomorrow, so check back then.

Latino-Review's El Mayimbe promised three big Suicide Squad-related scoops this week and now he's delivered the second with a ton of new Deathstroke details.

According to him, instead of being a full-on supervillain with powers, Deathstroke will be a hired assassin working for Onslaught. He's said to be the breakout character and his introductory scene is described as absolutely "insane." Also, Deathstroke will come face-to-face with the Suicide Squad early on and basically take down the entire team single-handedly.

Deathstroke's costume is said to be very stealth-oriented and uses an actual U.S. military tactical outfit for the basis. Like his comic-counterpart, his weapons of choice will be a sword and several automatics. The iconic orange/black mask is there, but early concept art does reveal that he will have two eyes, at least initially.

As for casting, since the role is expected to be the breakout character, the studio has been particularly choosy. Following up on last night's vague casting details, Mayimbe adds a little more: Jason Clarke (Terminator: Genisys) is out as he has a scheduling conflict and Joel Kinnaman (RoboCop) initially tested for the role, but landed Rick Flagg instead. Until very recently, Joe Manganiello (Spider-Man) also had a scheduling conflict, but according to the report, he may have just dropped out of the upcoming horror-comedy anthology television series Scream Queens, freeing him up for Suicide Squad. Official casting news should be imminent, but as of right now, it seems like Deathstroke is Manganiello's role to lose.

Yeah but it's Rusty, just assume he was drunk while watching.

Yeah, but that was somewhat action and more mature while Scream Queens is a whole other genre.

Latino Review's El Mayimbe is back with another Suicide Squad related scoop... or, as he admits himself, more of a rumor this time. Mayimbe has heard Jackie Earle Hayley's name "tossed around" for the role of The Thinker in the movie, but he cautions we should take it with a grain of salt until there's something more solid. Hayley will be best known to you CBMers as Rorschach in Zack Snyder's Watchmen, but he also played Freddy Krueger is the Nightmare on Elm Street remake, and most recently appeared as a villain in the Robocop reboot.

The Thinker is an alias that's been used by several characters in the DC Comics Universe, but it's a safe bet the movie iteration will be based on the original: Clifford DeVoe; a genius inventor who harnessed his intellect as a weapon using his "Thinking Cap." DeVoe was a member of the Injustice Society and the Suicide Squad after starting out as a Flash villain. No details on the role he'll be playing in David Ayer's adaptation, but considering this is the first we've heard of his involvement, chances are it won't be a substantial one.

"Harley Quinn has a few looks throughout the film. Going from traditional with the animated series as a reference to prison attire & in one sequence where they infiltrate a club she wears a dress. Get this, her & Joker's pet Hyena's are in the film briefly. Apparently, Harley with the hyena's are a big motif."

UltimateMarvel wrote:lol! That should be interesting. It's one thing in a cartoon but in a movie? Good luck telling them what to do.

The hell is wrong with you? They'd eat you while you're sleeping and laugh at the same time. "Can't believe this fucker tried to pet me?"
