Then whoever's currently portraying Joker in the comics that way ought to have their writing privileges revoked. He's not meant to be some hip love-sick puppy.
He's more unpredictable in the comics in terms of their relationship, but there is a hint of love for Harley.

I don't know. The story of Suicide squad at least kind of made sense and the characters actually had clear motivations to do what they did.
I guess. IMO SS was just really boring, the action scenes were all super lame, which can be forgivable if they deliver on the characters, but I found everyone in that movie to be pretty wooden and lackluster.
At least BvS had a few scenes that I found entertaining.
I haven't lost all hope for the DC movieverse yet though, I think James Wan will do a good job with Aquaman, I like his directing style. And hopefully Affleck will deliver with his solo outing.

Discussing which is better Suicide Squad or BvS is like discussing whether or not you prefer crap or vomit. lol
I don't think quality is subjective. Entertainment perhaps is subjective, but Suicide Squad definitely lacked quality. It was a mess on many different levels. Joker's scene really had nothing to do with the plot of the movie. He was just there for fan service, which actually just ended up hurting the movie because it made him pointless and therefore unmemorable. There wasn't ever really any real tension to most of the "action" scenes. None of the characters ever truly seemed threatened. Like Khazra said the action scenes were "super lame." The first half of the movie was just a new character introduced every 5 minutes (and a random pop song I might add) which ruined any substantial character development. Will Smith's character was the only one with any real depth or dynamic. Oh, and the CGI villain at the end looked fu#king horrible.
Basically they tried to cram like 8 or 10 different movies into it and we ended up with a clusterf#ck.

The more-and-more I talk with friends that have seen SS and the more I read up on here, the more I'm glad I didn't catch this one in theaters. This is coming from a guy who thinks Man of Steel is one of the comic-book movie subgenre's highs and really liked BvS (I know, bring on the lynch mob now, sorry).
Thank you Netflix monthly DVD subscription, you just got another one put in the queue.

I thought it was highly entertaining. Not the best super hero movie out there, but good enough and most people who I watched it with, loved it. I also really liked X-Men Apocalypse and that had poor reviews, too. Agree to disagree, bud.
I found it entertaining, too. On certain levels there are some redeeming qualities. (Margot Robbie is hot as fu#k, for example, heh). But objectively as a stand-alone movie it is a huge mess.

Well, I actually enjoyed Suicide Squad more, but probably for the wrong reasons. It was interesting looking at the trainwreck caused by the studio butting in too much. But like I said, to me it's like comparing crap and vomit. And I'm with you, I caught a cheap showing of both films. I read enough about them and decided to save money.

Makes sense. How could it? Unless it was like 3 or 4 hours long or something... and who the hell would want to sit through that?
There were way too many characters and it was just too much of a clusterf#ck, so I don't see any more footage or even re-editing helping it much.

Classic case in depending on who you ask.
