David Ayer Explains Robin & Joker Connection

Media Release

We get some backstory on Batman, the dead Robin Jason Todd, and Joker in the DCEU. Empire caught up with Suicide Squad director David Ayer who offers up the reason why Joker has certain tattoos as well as why he wears a teeth grill, which has to do with what went down with Robin. “This is sort of my personal thing and maybe less about a larger connection,” Ayer said. “But Joker killed Robin and Batman basically smashes his teeth out and locks him up in Arkham Asylum. It’s in…

Is Rotten Tomatoes Fair?

Walt

I am about to see the new DC movie Suicide Squad and I hear the early Critics Consensus is very negative. People are emotional about the movies they like and don’t understand how a movie can be Rotten or Fresh according to the website. Rotten Tomatoes is a website launched in August 1998 devoted to film reviews and news; it is widely known as a film review aggregator. Coverage now includes TV content as well. The name derives from the practice of audiences throwing rotten tomatoes when disapproving of a…

“Suicide Squad’s” Mid-Credits Scene

Media Release

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for “Suicide Squad,” which is in theaters now. Though “Suicide Squad” features a cast of mostly unknown characters and takes place in a city that’s not Metropolis or Gotham, the film does have surprising ties to the larger DC movie-verse mythos — and it has a mid-credits scene that could play a major role in the larger franchise moving forward. “Suicide Squad” features a number of shout outs to the larger DC continuity. Superman’s rise and fall in “Man of Steel” and “Batman v…

David Ayer Reacts to Negative Reviews

Walt

When noon struck on Aug. 2, the Suicide Squad review embargo ended, bringing a whole new wave of critical scorn and disappointment from fans upon DC. While it didn’t take long for a gloomy picture to get painted on Rotten Tomatoes, it didn’t take long for writer/director David Ayer to defend his film either. Ayer first responded on Twitter by repeating a quote from Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapta, translating to “I’d prefer to die on my feet than to live on my knees.” Ayer then tweeted in English without quoting…

David Ayer shoots down Suicide Squad fan theory

Walt

Since the first look at Jared Leto’s Joker from Suicide Squad debuted (along with the defaced Robin costume from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) there has been a fan theory with growing popularity: the Clown Prince of Crime is actually the former Boy Wonder gone bad. What began as simple postulating online quickly gained traction, but director David Ayer is here to derail that train. Speaking with WSVN-TV, Ayer shot down the fan theory when asked what the most ridiculous rumor he heard about Suicide Squad was. “It ain’t…

Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition makes Batman the villain

Media Release

Spoiler alert! This article assumes you’ve seen the Ultimate Edition of the film, and goes full-spoiler. You’ve been warned. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a deeply flawed film, built on misguided interpretations of both characters and the faith that the two of them would never, ever for any reason get together to exchange notes. But the extended, R-rated Ultimate Edition fixes a few problems with the original edit while deepening the problems with Zack Snyder’s take on Batman. The good news is that, outside of the script and…
