Pretty much Jokers whole operation is at a standstill till he got Harley back in the end. Again with a passionate romantic kiss.

You dont seem to know these characters too well Golgo 😬

👆

That doesn't disprove what I said and you shouldn't be talking. You don't even read the comics. lol.

As for the comics, Harley took the top spot in August!

Who says I dont read comics? No time to keep up with all the new shit but I do know how these characters should be portrayed. And I do know when they fuq up and change core elements of these characters.

also lol @ posting more meaningless sales figures.
Newsflash: people fuking love Joker, and Harley. Why do you think Suicide Squad made so much money even though it was a sub par film. Because of the popularity of those characters alone.

That's pretty much what I mean. In an early issue of Harley, Harley goes to Arkham and breaks Joker free. The issue retcons their relationship and shows that they broke up long ago. Harley complains that he never really loved her, but he takes her and kisses her. Harley bites his lip and says we are finished. lol

Plus, are you following current Rebirth? There are three Jokers. Meaning there isn't just one depiction of the Joker, I believe.

I haven't been reading much of Rebirth. Most of it hasn't been very good, tbh.

golgo, is your only experience with Joker and Harley, from the last 5 years?

I'm not just talking the newest shit. But at least from the last decade or so. Joker in the SS movie isn't that far off from the books, aside from the look, but even the Joker in the past has had tattoos.

Nope. I've read all of his classic runs. There isn't just one depiction of the Joker, but many, and it's now being explored in Rebirth.

So far all of the bat books have been awesome. Superman and the GL line has been too.

Superman is something I have been reading. It hasn't been very good imo. At best, it's meh. At worst, it's a shitshow. Especially with what they did to N52 Supes.

I read Batman up until the "old Gotham" stuff with the Joker. It just got weird after that.

Really? I really dig the family dynamic they're doing in Action/Superman. The Eradicator arc was pretty good.

Detective Comics is one of the best comics on the stands. Tom King's Batman is a blast. Tom King is one of the best writers in the business now. I highly recommend both.

Current Birds of Prey is getting better with each issue. Nightwing is a lot of fun, too.

I disagree, and I really don't enjoy the family thing they have going on.

Detective, i'll mostly get back to at some point.

Birds of Prey blows severely hot and cold for me, and I'm generally not a fan of everything they've been doing with Dick Grayson for the past few years.

I hate to bring up the box office discussion again because of the crybabies but it can't be ignored. SS surpassed Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Captain America: Winter Soldier this weekend.

Love it or hate it but you better recognize.

All thanks to an incredible marketing campaign and a cool premise and Will Smith, not quality

Recognize what? That a pretty crappy movie made a lot of money due to marketing? People again confusing the quality of the movie with how much it made.

Marketing really only effects opening weekend. After that it's word of mouth and SS had good staying power as shown by the strong weekend holds after the first weekend drop.

You didn't like the movie, I and alot of other people did.

Suck it up butter cup.

SS had another incredible hold this weekend. WOM wasn't toxic like everyone is saying. Quite the opposite.

Suicide Squad continues to laugh in the face of our doomsaying second-weekend prognostications. The DC Comics supervillain team-up adventure earned another $4.7 million, a drop of just 18%, on its seventh weekend.

🙂

#SuicideSquad off just 18% this wknd. Intl breaks $400M. Global now $718.9M passing #CaptainAmerica #WinterSoldier. And w/ $0 from China.

Well it still didn't even make what the transformers films have made. Quality wise if this is what you want more of Golgo you don't expect much.

As terrible as they may be, excluding the first one, all the transformers films have made at least $700 million so a blockbuster making less than them isn't a slight by any means.

Quality is more important to me and money secondly because I'd like more films made. Golgo is more worried about DC succeeding financially than making great films.
