Well the title says it all but just a few of my own thoughts I'd like to add

#1) The Idea As A Whole
I think it's great. Assault on Arkham was great but I know it will be nothing like this (for better or worse). Kinda strange that they're doing it before Justice League but eh, whatever. I just hope it's gonna be a hit
2) Costumes
I'll put more thoughts into individual characters but over all I'm a mix of not that impressed & not that confident with a few stars mixed in (literal and figurative). You have them trying to make them realistic which makes sense and can be done--just look at Arkham City--but it's perfectly understandable why you can't just rip them straight from paper to film--so I'll give them points and leeway for that. Dark & gritty over primary collors works best for a film about homicidal villains am I right?
#3) Will Smith As Deathstroke
I see it as a 8.5-9/10 based on what I've seen. I mean,Will Smith is a badass playing a badass and the pics I've seen for the costume look GREAT. He's bringing in the most optimism of all for this film
#4) Harley Quinn
Other than the two unknowns with a skull painted face & the Chinese chick she's the one I'm least optimistic about. Haven't seen much but from what I have and compared to other characters I'm just not impressed. BUT I'll set these feelings aside as it's early judgement. I mean, I've doubted a LOT of characters & movies early on that turned out to be great. So far the best Harley Quinn I've seen is Arkham City (and no, not for the *** appeal). But it's definitely better than the red & black jumpsuit!
#5) Captain Boomerang
He's got the outfit, face & accent--I have NO problems with the guy. No potential for problems at all so far until I see acting & I have hopes for that :)
#6) Killer Crock (or King Shark, whoever he is)
About the best you can do for it to be realistic so once again I won't judge. No high hopes but all things considered and unseen I won't bash either
#7) OF COARSE, THE JOKER!
Heath Ledger was bashed before the release & everyone who did it ate a moldy sock. I'm confident that this will be the same scenario but I do not want or expect a HEATH LEDGER Joker. I'm sure he will be awesome and a new spin and surprise just like HL, but not the same performance or character HL himself. A new spin on a new spin, I guess you could say. At first I was "eeeeeh" but after seeing a few lines, screenshots & something other than the scream/smile photo they released I'm certainly giving him a chance to impress.

So far my hopes for Suicide Squad is 51/49% in favor of success. I hope to see more later on and for now, how about your thoughts? What are you the most/least hopeful for and what do you want to see soon/next?

Looks meh.

I hold a grudge against this film due tot he fact that the Suicide Squad story in Arrow was cut so this film can be made.

Also Will Smith is in it. Mainly because he's trying to use what little star power he has left to hop on the train of superhero movie success and salvage his career.

Well I've liked most of what I've seen him in. What I didn't like wasn't really his fault. But Deadshot's a potential badass in film so fingers crossed.

Well Deadshot as always been a badass but again Will Smith is the problem.
.... How so? I don't know everything about the guy but what gives you doubt?

I'm actually surprised there were only this many people with an opinion. Oh well. If it's not a flame war 15 is generous & 20 is damn good luck nowadays.

He always demands creative control and when he doesn't get his way he tends to bail out on projects. Furthermore he'll want top billing even with his fading star power. That guy has just always been egotistical but now he doesn't have the star power and the draw to justify it.

- My first thought when I saw the trailer was Arkham assault.

-The down to earth world they are going with but still acknowledging people with powers looks great, it doesn't look cartoony at all.

-Killer Croc, Quinn, Deadshot and Joker look beast.

-Looks like will be getting a little of a Harley Quinn origin story, also looks like the Joker makes a riot in the Asylum and of course escapes but not before torturing Harley which at first I thought it was Jason Todd, hopefully that still shows.

-Anyways, movies looks awesome, can't wait for August 2016.

IMO Harvey was the best thing in the trailer other than the Joker of course she feels like she was ripped right out of the comics....her saying "I hope you got insurance" feels like it could be a quote from a comic book....and the Joker
....No words....

It was great. Though I wanted to hear Harley's New York accent, her sayin 'Mistah J' would've been great. But maybe they're just keeping it for the movie.

Anyway Leto looks great as the Joker. He looks like a full blown deranged psychopath, and I love it.
