The first official trailer for DC's Suicide Squad has dropped and it is hard not to love it. It does a fantastic job of setting the tone of the movie and introducing the characters without revealing much about them other than their looks. At the same time, there is a wonderful version of the song "I Started A Joke" playing in the background and it enhances this trailer in so many ways and helps build the eventual Joker reveal.
When the list of characters that would be appearing first came out, two names stood out to most fans: The Joker and Harley Quinn. And then the casting for said characters were announced and people began paying even closer attention to the project. But then, images of the cast began emerging and while people were absolutely loving Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, there wasn't a lot of enthusiasm for Jared Leto's look as The Joker. The way this trailer was put together almost seems as though it was made for the sole purpose of demonstrating to us that these two iconic characters were done right.
While we see a lot of different shots of the entire squad, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn is quickly made the center point of this trailer. There is no real introduction to any of the characters, we don't even hear their names or what their mission is going to be, but being over a year away from the release of this movie, it doesn't even matter. Towards the last minute of the trailer we begin to see quick, little glimpses of The Joker that set up his reveal. It begins with an unmistakable, maniacal laugh that will bring shivers down the spine of many hardcore fans. And then we see him, and with two lines Jared Leto lets us know that his creepy rendition of this iconic character will not be easily dismissed. With just two lines, the fear that this version of The Joker will fail was put to rest. Instead, we will now fear The Joker himself.
Suicide Squad is set to release August 5, 2016.

1. Pixar's Coco I can't overstate how much this film meant to me. To finally be able to see my culture being represented on the big screen in an accurate and loving way was overwhelming in the best way possible. I've seen this film twice now and both times I was overcome with a sense of pride at seeing a film being able to perfectly capture the essence of Mexican culture. Every single aspect of this film, from the behaviors to the music, was treated with dignity and respect. I didn't realize how much this film would affect me, but I'm thankful that Coco was made and that it is getting the amount of love that it is. In my eyes, this is the best Pixar film ever made. 2. Horror is Killing it This Year Horror has always been my favorite genre in film and to see how hugely successful horror movies were this year has been awesome. Films like It and Get Out made huge amounts of money, but more importantly, they were excellent films that people wanted to see over a...
