Suicide Squad being reshot to make it more "fun"

When the Suicide Squad trailer was released, most remarked at how fun it looked in sharp contrast to the bleak, dark world of Batman vs. Superman. Fans connected to it immediately in a very big way; to this day the Suicide Squad trailer has about 15 million more views on YouTube than the Batman vs. Superman trailer, which came out over a month earlier. But, it may have all been a clever trick of editing. It turns out the movie was not as fun or funny as you might have expected and now, according to reports, Warner Bros. has sunk a lot of money into expensive reshoots to help lighten the tone of the DC Cinematic Universe.

According to Birth Movies Death, all the jokes or levity that you see in that first Suicide Squad trailer consisted of the entirety of all the jokes or levity that you’d see in the whole film. Namely, the film really isn’t as fun as the trailer would have you believe. Given that, and the critical response to the distinct lack of fun in Batman vs. Superman, the site reports that Warner Bros. is currently spending “tens of millions” to “alter the tone of the film” and bring some humor to the goings on. Before you get too concerned, they’re not looking to turn Suicide Squad into Deadpool, just that they’re “beefing up fun character moments and interactions.”
