I don't think she had the blue and pink color on her hair when she was in prison.

Damn nice catch!

Are you sure her hair is permanently died red and blue? I thought when she was in her cell it was totally bleached. I thought she did the red and blue herself as part of her suit-up routine prior to entering the city.

As CPOC and you pointed out I don't think this is the case anymore!

I wonder what else was in that box of hers?

That means Joker either dyes his hair green or the chemical that changed him was different, which makes sense because it probably happened a long time ago, so it could have been a different substance.

In regards to the Joker, he has bleached skin however how many times does he apply the white makeup? Some scenes look more natural then others?

I'm sure he powders quite often.

But he's also jumped in the chemicals more then once, not sure what scenes the white look heavier, but if it's scenes that take place after his second leap of faith with harley maybe this explains why?

What do you mean? Joker never wears white makeup. The only time Joker wore makeup was in TDK. In the comics and cartoons he's greyish white because of the dip.

Deadshot's vision definitely seemed less "evil" the second time around. I had forgotten that he was wearing the same clothes as when Batman caught him. So his vision wasn't "I want to hunt Batman down and kill him" but rather "If only I'd pulled the trigger *back then* I might still have my daughter." Technically still fantasizing about a murder but what parent wouldn't at least entertain the thought?

In this tuxedo scene/outfit his face is pure white unlike the other scenes in the movie. Maybe it's just bad lighting but that's the impression I got.

Maybe sometimes he does reverse make-up like Nicholson.

Yeah, that's a great scene to digest. it really shows the theme of the whole movie. to be a bad guy or pure evil.

I'm guessing he got all "dressed up" and powdered.

Yeah - if it is just down the the dip and even double dip it's confusing as to when it happens.

There's deffo a neck line there (makeup/skin)...

I think that's unintentional.

If you look at Jack J, he had white stuff all over his hair and collar

I'm not seeing things though. He does deffo apply something at some stage in the movie.

Errrrr...I dunno. I guess it's a grey area (or in this case...white! ).

I'm sure he does, mister J always keeps up appearances

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)

He might wear a bit of makeup to cover the scars...like Al Capone used to do. But he doesn't need any makeup, except the red lipstick.

Good point, you can tell they took some old school gangster and scarface and threw that into this Joker's personality/look. and like you've mentioned before his scars seem more intense in AA, where he probably wouldn't be allowed makeup.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)

The story in this film really does cater to my favorite types of narratives, even moreso than Civil War. Of course I would rate CW higher (duh) as it is so technically sound from beginning to end but my favorite types of action/adventure films tend to be those where the heroes kind of have a cloud of being screwed at the end but still fight to do a little good anyway. ESB, LOTR, CA:TFA, ALIENS, Face/Off, etc. Suicide Squad is obviously lighter in may ways than those previous films but in other ways it's every bit as harsh or moreso. If it had the execution of those former films it wouldn't just be one of my favorite cbm's it'd be one of my favorite films, period.

But I didn't think the editing was bad per se. I liked that we first saw Deadshot and Harley in the present to establish them as the "main" Squad members, then they went full flashback for everybody, didn't waste time establishing throw away characters like Slipnot, saved Katana's backstory for later, and didn't clog the finale with the fates of characters who ultimately weren't that important (the prison guard who helped the Joker.)

I actually really liked the flow and if anything was impressed by the non-linear approach to character development. The structuring of Diablo's arc was actually kind of brilliant IMO.

The only times I'd say I "noticed" the editing were a couple times you'd have a chill moment and then music would kick in and there'd be a sweet action sequence (like Harley in the elevator for instance) and then it would almost abruptly go right back to characters just walking or talking. I wouldn't have NOT inserted those action sequences, I just think they could have cleaned up the tempo segues a bit here and there.
