[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7128707, member: 22779"] I have to admit, 99% of my DC knowledge comes from TV and mostly the animated stuff. It's funny, but, I can't honestly remember when there wasn't a DC character on TV in some form or another. Going back a while to Lois and Clark, and even before that, there was a short lived live action Flash series (I might be wrong in the timeline there, that's a LONG time ago). But, on the small screen at least, DC has been prodding buttock and taking names. Flip around to the big screen and it's pretty much the opposite. Marvel has been the go to for superhero movies for, what, twenty years now? Sure, we had a couple of good Superman movies in the 70's and 80's and the first couple of Batman movies, but, it took Marvel products to make superhero movies a THING. (no pun intended). I just really think that people are far too hard on the DCU movies. I honestly didn't think Suicide Squad was that bad. It was a fun action movie. Now, my only knowledge of Suicide Squad comes form the cartoons - they featured in an animated movie (?), somewhere or other anyway. And my only knowledge of any of the characters is from cartoons. Harley Quinn? Yup, check, that's the same as the one I saw in Batman cartoons. Deadshot? Only saw him in Arrow. Seems like a decent character. Amanda Waller? Yup, nailed that one. (and, as hot as the Amanda Waller actress is in Arrow, that's NOT what I consider to be Amanda Waller) So, again, not seeing the issue. But, I do realize that I'm whistling in the dark here. That movie got crucified. And I really don't understand why. [/QUOTE]
