Ayers on what was cut out of Suicide Squad (I can see why Leto is annoyed): (spoilers. DUH) -- (edited)

Posted by Spawn Aug 10 '16, 08:40

Here's some bullet points of the things Ayer disclosed about SUICIDE SQUAD:

Ayer said the original script called for the movie to start in Belle Reve with each villain having his/her own flashback remembering things in their past while they sit in their respective cell.

The original script also begin with more of June Moone in archeology-exploring-mode and finding the ancient tomb where she becomes possessed by the Enchantress.

There is no R-rated cut of the film, nor was it ever intended.

The Joker kills Robin and, reacting to his sidekick's death, Batman smashes out the Joker's teeth which is why he has metal teeth (or a 'grill') and Batman locks him up in Arkham. While incarcerated, this leads to the Joker's seduction of Dr. Harleen Quinzel.

Also while in Arkham, the Joker tattoos 'DAMAGED' to his forehead as a message reminder to Batman that he has in fact damaged him by killing Robin; as well as signaling that Batman has also damaged the Joker's teeth.

The theatrical cut is referred by Ayer as the "dossier cut" with Amanda Waller going through the intros of each villain as you saw in the movie. (We can only assume that this is part of the studio's request during post-production.)

Ayer says to not call the Joker's appearance in the movie a cameo. (Again, we can only assume it wasn't supposed to be such a small role because Leto says a lot was cut out.)

Rescuing Waller was always the main mission of the movie.

This movie sounds like an absolute trainwreck. -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 09:13
the tidbit about the grill would have been a great piece to share.... - groiny Aug 10, 08:57
I still see potential in Suicide Squad sequels... -- (edited) - budice Aug 10, 08:54 5
- It is done. spoils - Spawn Aug 10, 08:58
- Potential has never been their problem. -- nm - pmb Aug 10, 08:56
- they should sign Robbie to a 5 film deal right fucking now. -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 08:55 2

    - $$$$$$ -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 09:02
A) Don't call the Joker a cameo because, by definition, it's not. B)If Leto didn't want to have his stuff cut, maybe he should have sucked less. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 08:45
leave the damn directors alone...... -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 08:44 16
- The running time as released was already 2 hours 10 minutes. - Spawn Aug 10, 08:47 15
  - no one gives a shit about running time if the movie is good. -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 08:53 13
    - Well then, all DC movies should probably be 90 minutes then. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 09:03 1
      - I could have edited BvS down easily by 25 minutes, and that would have still included some of the deleted shit that needed to be in there. -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 09:04
    - Yes they do. There's zero need for a 3 hour superhero movie when you're gonna have 19 sequels anyway. -- nm - iSpam Aug 10, 09:01 1
      - 2 hours and 20 minutes is standard. (Avengers 1 and 2, Civil War was a bit longer) - groiny Aug 10, 09:03
    - Dude. You just lost your own arguement! -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 08:57 8
      - and the director should have much more input in the editing process as well. -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 09:01 3
        
        They do, until management discovers they're making a movie nobody wants. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 09:05 2
        
        This movie was edited by a company that makes the trailers. - groiny Aug 10, 09:07 1
        
        Yes, because Ayers was making a somber movie that nobody wanted this movie to be. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 09:10
      - give me a break, Civil War was damn near 3 hours. -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 08:57 3
        
        (the movie was not good, and therefore, it should not be long) - Spawn Aug 10, 09:04 2
        
        we have no idea what the movie would have been if WB had left it alone. - groiny Aug 10, 09:05 1
        
        Oh, don't worry, I'm 100% sure I would have disliked it more if they had included more crappy Joker. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 09:08
  - LEAVE THE DIRECTORS ALONE!!!!!! -- nm - groiny Aug 10, 08:51
I am looking forward to the Director's Cut. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 08:43 1
- This creates a huge dilemma, actually. spec spoils -- (edited) - Spawn Aug 10, 08:45
