I dont get the hate for this.
I don't think anyone hates this, it just makes MoS look even dumber.
I only have two concerns 1) Smith and 2) Any over-correction that occurs in regards to previous films.

The threads showing the first image of Leto as Joker and announcing Will Smith as Deadshot were pretty negative.

Negative =/= Hate
Are people not allowed to make critiques?
To be fair, Leto looks odd. I still think it could work, but the whole dirty, Affliction Hip-Hop thing just doesn't jive with the Joker. It's certainly a big departure, and yeah, people might dislike that. That's pretty fair given a character with 80 years of history.

My only question is if this takes part after BvS and we know in that Batman is a ruthless vigilante, how is the Joker still running around? Why hasnt Batman mowed him down with machine guns and backed the Batmobile over his corpse?
1. The Joker is really fricking hard to kill.
COMIC BOOK READER SPOILERS:
2. Maybe he did kill the Joker after the Joker killed Jason Todd and this Joker is Jason's body resurrected by Ra's in the Lazarus Pit.

I feel like images from this movie have been put out into the media for like 7 years now. Are they actually making a film?
Yes, comes out on Aug 5th. And they just filmed it last year so I'm not sure why you feel you've been seeing this for 7 years now

The Joker really does look kind of stupid, but Margot Robbie just jumps out of the screen with her hotness. The dialog I've seen from the trailers is really bad, but I might have to see it just for her.

Fair point. If they put Jason Todd as the Joker instead of Red Hood, I dont know if comic book fans would nerd out or nerd rage. Since it is DC, probably the nerd rage.

i for one would really like that twist and it would be something new.
also, 80% of films do reshoots. its just how film works. a director may not have gotten certain shots he needed or something did not come out quite right and they didnt get a chance to see the footage until they edit.

Harley Quinn will steal the movie.
Not sure what to make of the Joker yet until I see it.
Will Smith has be scared. Could ruin the movie.

More from EW....
quote:
As part of Entertainment Weekly's coverage of WB's third DCEU film, Suicide Squad, Will Smith discusses why he signed up to play Deadshot. At 47, Smith has already played a superhero (Hancock), so it wasn't to scratch that itch (yes, I know Deadshot isn't really a hero). The Grammy Award winning, Oscar-nominated Philly actor stated, "I had never played a character that legitimately didn’t give a f*&k. It’s very freeing not having to carry the moral spine of the movie."
However, Smith admitted that he had to turn to director David Ayer for help on developing his approach to playing the character. "I couldn’t find a model to understand what would make someone comfortable killing another person for money. David walked me through that. He found a book for me (The Anatomy of Motive by John Douglas), and I worked through getting into the mind of serial killers. Once I accepted the [notion the author puts forth] that it feels good, that really exploded the idea in my mind of Deadshot."

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was going to be the juggernaut in Warner Bros. DC Comics’ universe, the sun around which all the other movies would orbit. That made Suicide Squad more like Pluto – a dwarf planet of sorts that could exist just outside the Justice League universe, inhabited by society’s most deranged villains.
But then BvS disappointed critics and underperformed at the box office, all while buzz around Suicide Squad grew louder following the film’s rock-n-roll trailers and wild tales of Jared Leto’s set antics as The Joker.
“Two years ago Suicide Squad was a tertiary [DC property]. No one knew anything about it. It was a cool little playground, and I was going to go make my movie,” says the film’s writer/director, David Ayer. “Now it’s like the hype bus. All of the attention has swung onto it, and it has to carry a lot more weight than it was ever intended to. I think it can sustain it. But it’s a lot of pressure. You definitely feel the pressure.”
Suicide Squad (out Aug. 5) takes place in a post-Superman world, following the events of Dawn of Justice, as the government grapples with how to respond the next time an alien visits Earth with less noble intentions than the Man of Steel. The answer, according to ruthless intelligence officer Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), is to recruit society’s most vile criminals, armed with lethal skills and superhuman powers. Her first target is possessed archaeologist June Moone/Enchantress (Cara Delevingne).
Waller’s program doesn’t get a green light, though, until Midway City is threatened by a powerful mystical enemy, and Waller needs to activate the whole squad of prisoners. The baddies get a break. Deadshot (Will Smith) has his Second Amendment rights reinstated, Harley (Margot Robbie) is carefully excised from her birdcage, Diablo (Jay Hernandez) is released from his own fireproof fortress of solitude, Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and Slipknot (Adam Beach) strap their weapons back on, and Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) is popped from his swamp. The one condition for their restricted freedom: Obey orders or die, a rule strictly enforced by squad leader Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), his samurai Katana (Karen Fukuhara), and the explosive devices inserted into their necks courtesy of Wayne Enterprises. (Thanks, Batman!) Throwing a wrench into all these plans is the tatted Gotham City arch-criminal, the Joker (Jared Leto), and his laser-like plan to reunite with his true love, Harley, mission be damned.
But a funny thing happens while these scumbags try to become heroes – they each must absolve themselves of their crimes even if society won’t. And that’s where it gets interesting. A layer of humanity – and sadness – resides underneath these characters’ stories as they each grapple with whether they can be redeemed.

There's being passionate, and there's being a sycophant.
