DC's Suicide Squad Reshooting to Lighten Tone, Following Batman v Superman Criticisms - Report

Nothing can save this movie let alone a misunderstanding of criticisms for other movies.

Here's the thing-yes BvS was dark in tone, but that's not why is sucked. It sucked because the plot was a mess and didn't make any sense, the characters had little motivation (mainly lex) and it was too long.

I hate these studios identifying the wrong reasons things succeed or fail. It's the same as all the talk of R rated superhero movies after Deadpool. Deadpool didn't succeed simply because it was R rated. It was funny, light, and relatively unique to the superhero genre.

Just please..don't delay this.

Please don't. Forget the critics. DC needs to be dark.

NOT THIS FACE AGAIN

This is probably a good idea.

The thing DC films don't seem to understand is that unrelenting darkness and seriousness is UTTERLY MEANINGLESS and dull without moments of levity or happiness or sorrow or *something* to break up the boring slog of uber-macho, tough-man, isn't-it-all-so-cool Nolan-esque stuff. BvS has no tonal variation, no subtlety, no depth of character, it's just dark, macho and juvenile.

Obviously I'm not saying that superhero films need to be colourful comedies, but, like comics, there has to be some tonal variation, partly to show what the "heroes" are fighting for, put partly to prove that there are real, complex individuals functioning behind all the violence and excuses-for-violence.

That's just plain stupid. Why abandoning a thing that you thought will be good? Only idiots care about what critics say. Panning "lack of humor"? Maybe because it's not MUST-HAVE feature in films. And from trailers I thought Suicide squad got TON of humor and funny moments. Please, don't be like shitty marvel films appealing only to masses.

So they are making it more kid friendly cause BvS was to "violent"? That is the damn point of Suicide Squad they are a bunch of degenerate bad guys and they gonna screw that up ugh.

terrible fucking idea.

hahaha joke`s on you DC

That's a bitch

I really really hope not. There were a few things wrong with BvS but lack of humour was not one of them

Oh great why not just turn it into a comedy!

surely it needs more uber violence??!

Bad if it's true, they should just stick to their original vision and not try to copy Marvel. If they needlessly shoehorn humour it will be jarring.

If this is true, and DC starts making kiddy super hero movies like Marvel is, than all hope is lost.

Horrible attempt at a Aprils Fools day article...

i could actually see this happening... even if it is a joke, i won't be surprised if behind the scenes they do change the mood a bit. all thanks to the disney marvel children who are too immature to handle a film like batman v superman. you people are the worst and ruining it for the rest of us. now they gotta make sure there is a stupid wise crack every 20 seconds and nobody dies on screen like in the marvel movies... ah, and certainly there cannot be a drop of blood, we don't want the 7 year old's in the audience to worry.

"Warner are spending "tens of millions of dollars" to add some more comedic elements,"

Totally an April's fools prank.

Oh! I fell for it! It has to be an April's fool!

No! Don't do this! A superhero movie doesn't have to be funny. I hate Marvel movies for that! The Dark Knight trilogy was not funny. ..

Why? it already seem fun. It already had the dark comedy vibe. Anywho this is why I hate the critics. They just want everything one way. Idiots.

The humor is the worst part about the marvel movies. I cringe everytime they try to be funny. I for one, prefer the darker and more serious tone of the DC movies. I quite enjoyed BvS.

Batman v superman was ace, I'll not spoil it for you all but I highly enjoyed it. Screw what the critics say, they don't know sh**..

Barman v superman was ace, I'll not spoil it for you all but I highly enjoyed it. Screw what the critics say, they don't know sh**..

april fools probably

I really, really hope it's April's Fools day joke.
