This week will bring another look at the second anticipated DC Comics movies of the year when a new trailer forSuicide Squaddebuts during aDawn of Justice LeagueTV special airing on The CW. But before that new trailer arrives, Warner Bros. Pictures wanted to get the hype machine warmed up with a batch of cool new posters. And rather than just Photoshopping some character posters for the “heroes” with the cast, the marketing department has taken a preferred, stylish route by giving each member of the Suicide Squad their own unique skull.
Check out all the newSuicide Squadposters after the jump!
Here’s the new Suicide Squad poster fromYahoo, and the posters from our previous post follow:
First, here’s all the individual character skulls, rounded up byIMP Awards:
And here’s the one sheet that throws them all together:
This is infinitely better than seeing each of the characters just posing with Gotham City behind them, surrounded by flames, rain flying embers or whatever design cliche is going around this year. Movie posters have really needed some kind of creative boost in recent years, and it would be nice to see more original designs like the ones we highlighted in my picksfor the Top 20 Movie Posters of 2015.
This comic book flick has quite the cast withViola Davisas Amanda Waller,Will Smithas Deadshot,Margot Robbieas Harley Quinn,Cara Delevingneas Enchantress,Jai Courtneyas Captain Boomerang,Joel Kinnamanas Rick Flagg,Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbajeas Killer Croc,Adam Beachas Slipknot,Jay Hernandezas El Diablo,Karen Fukuharaas Katana, andJared Letoas the Joker.
The newSuicide Squadtrailer for what director David Ayer calls the worst heroes ever will arrive during The CW’s two-hour DC Comics extravaganza which includes a new episode ofThe Flashand the half-hour specialsDC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Their Time Is Nowat 9 PM andDC Films Presents: Dawn of the Justice Leagueat 9:30pm. We’ll have the new trailer online as soon as it’s available.
It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
