Later, it turns out to be some alleged plot twist that the entire mission was actually to rescue a trapped Waller, but it turns out to be a letdown because I think most fans were expecting some sort of other DC character like Bruce Wayne or Lex Luthor when they found their “High Value Target” at last. The movie opens with her having to pitch the concept of the Suicide Squad twice (the movie has a big problem with introduction and re-introductions early on). I have zero complaints with Davis’s deadpan, stone-cold rendition of Waller, but the movie just does not utilize her effectively. The film does not nail how to use Waller in the film, however. Superman than Leto does here, and I am really not looking forward to a possible Ben Affleck Batman movie that is forced to use this Joker as its lead foil. As has been said before, Jessie Eisenberg turned in a more Joker-like performance as Lex Luthor in Batman V. And that’s overlooking what the writers have done with the character itself, as they’ve turned him into little more than a pale-faced, green-haired gangster. The problem is that you’re stacking him up against Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill and Heath Ledger, and the performance he turns in is just not in their league. All the stories of him sending his fellow cast members pig’s heads and condoms to “get in character” do not seem to have really paid off by him turning in a worthy rendition of the famed villain. Leto’s performance is just…strange, not menacing, not memorable, not insane-but-still-somewhat-endearing. It felt like the entire film could have been drafted around him instead of making Enchantress the big bad, but instead his scenes are cut down to nearly an extended cameo, and most of them were in the trailer. Joker is a very odd problem for Suicide Squad. The only problem with her actual performance is slipping into a few different odd accents at times, but between Smith and Robbie, they effectively carry the entire film on their backs. In the end, Robbie does do a great job with the character and is a bright spot of the movie. Joker and Harley’s relationship is more sad and gross than sweet, and if Harley does return for other DCEU movies I hope they give the poor girl something to wear other than bikini bottoms. There will be many debates about whether Quinn was too goofily sexualized or too controlled by her creepy lover, and I mean to me, the answer to both of those is clearly yes. While I enjoyed her scenes with the Squad, her Joker flashbacks were painful. Robbie shines when she’s allowed to, but unfortunately, that doesn’t happen as often as it should. Harley is the embodiment of what this movie was supposed to be, goofy, fun, sociopathic, insane. That he's still able to do so years later is a dream come true.Out of every character in this movie, when fans heard that Margot Robbie had been cast to play Harley Quinn, the resulting reaction was everyone holding up 10/10 signs. Eventually, when the opportunity arose to actually write about comics, it was a no-brainer. After nearly a decade of stealing copies of classic comics by Kirby, Lee, Swan, Fox, Romita and more from his father's collection, his love of comics fully kicked in when he bought Avengers #232 from a spinner rack at Seven-Eleven. Stephen has been reading comics for as long as he's been, well, reading. He's also seen the site go through multiple changes, including the launch of the Eisner Award-winning Robot 6 blog, expanding from covering comics to all aspects of pop culture, and the biggest evolution when it transformed from Comic Book Resources to CBR. Over the years, he's been involved in the site's multiple Eisner Award wins, wile helping to define its voice and visual look. Stephen Gerding has been a part of CBR for over fifteen years, starting as a part-time freelancer in 2005 and working his way up to his current role as Senior News Editor.
