Justice League Set Visit and Suicide Squad News

This past week had a lot of DC Film news mainly focusing on the next film coming out of the DCU, Suicide Squad, and there was a crap ton of Justice league news as journalists were able to visit the set and report on what they saw.

If you want to lean more about the main Justice League news then click here and if you want to find out who is on Suicide Squad: The Album and look at some new poster click here.

Justice League
As previously stated several journalists visited the set of Justice League and I posted a quick rundown from the plot and the films big bad to the change of tone and Ezra Miller’s Flash being the comic relief and again click here to check it out.

However, that wasn’t the only thing we learnt a lot more from the set visit, and it has to be said this was only day 31 of a 111 day shoot and Warner Bros showed what they wanted them to see, for example they saw a lot of concept art in the war room.

The big stuff to take away from the war room is that Batman is getting a brand new suit(s) and The Flash will be getting an upgrade from Wayne Tech, similar to Spider-Man in Captain America Civil War. They also saw two new vehicles, one was called the Knightclawer which is a tank of sorts, but has four legs that come out and climbs up buildings and the other was the Flying Fox an aircraft which can carry the whole Justice League and the brand new Batmobile.

The Journalist were also lucky enough to talk to the cast and while talking to Wonder Woman herself Gal Gadot talked about the dynamic of the upcoming superhero team-up saying “I think we've found a very very interesting dynamic. I think it's fun, it’s funny, it's different, uh, each and every character brings their own flavour and colour to the team, and for me, you know, personally, it's really fun to play with them, it felt great, they're talented, and I'm having a great time."

The big word to take from this is “funny” and as someone who doesn’t mind the darker tone the DCU has taken, it would be nice to smile and chuckle as well as Batman v Superman did go a bit too far in the bleakness.



Gadot also talked about the difference between the character in her solo film and in Justice League. "(laughs), she's kind of uh bipolar, uh no, she's well, the Wonder Woman we see in the Justice League is similar to the Wonder Woman that we saw in BVS. The Wonder Woman that we see in the solo movie, uh, she's different. It's the coming of age story. It's, you know, about her becoming an adult, her journey from child to adult and understanding the complexities of life."

I geeked out hearing this news last week, and trying to get as much info as possible and by the sounds of these reports Warner Bros have listen to not only the critics that ripped BvS to shreds, but also the fans and even though it probably hurt Zack Snyder’s feelings it was for the best so now he’s fired up to deliver a Justice League film that people love.

If you want to learn more about the set visit, then I recommend reading Empire’s 21 things you need to know about Justice League.

Suicide Squad
Justice League wasn’t the only DC Film doing the rounds as a load of character posters came out as well as two awesome music videos and if you want to find out who is on the tracklist and two new film posters click here.

Warner Bros are really marketing Suicide Squad differently compared to Man of Steel and Batman v Superman as with so much bright, acid dripping colours as seen in these posters below.

I personally don’t like these posters they’re just a bit everywhere for me, but I do like these character posters with a simple dark, diluted tone and the actors look great in costume so big up to the design department at WB and photographer Clay Enos. Here are a few examples and if you want to view them all, Batman News has all 11 posters.

The other thing the WB marketing department has done as some of today’s biggest music artists and bands and made an album and the music seems to fit the tone of the film as they’ve done music videos for the film, something that’s rare nowadays and these two songs are different and I like them both.

Heathers by Twenty One Pilots and Sucker For Pain by Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa & Imagine Dragons (with Logic, Ty Dolla $ign & X Ambassadors) were dope and I might have to listen to more Logic. Check them both out below.


You can pre-order the album from iTunes and Amazon. Also, you can make your own Suicide Squad Icon.

Even though there were only two films to talk about, there was plenty to cover and if you want to keep up to date with what’s happening in the world of DC Films follow me on Twitter @Shaun_Wren.
