    And given how polarazing the situation with Amber Heard is, I don't think removing her is going to help with sales either.

    They honestly don't look all that different or particularly silly to me. I've got several large problems with the Flash suit, but sculpted muscles aren't one of them. Nothing about them also makes me think comedic than prior DC movie suits either.

    I like this suit because it gives the impression of muscle definition without actually being that. I feel the same about Flash's suit in Justice League. I think actually sculpting muscles into the suit makes it look silly and has me thinking DC is carrying the tone of TSS and Peacemaker to their other movies. I just don't like it, but to each their own

    Hah the scarab looks kinda creepy at full size latched onto Jaime’s back. Which actually works since it’s an robotic alien parasite programmed to turn its host into a war machine for the Reach.

    There’s been a few different reasons why the scarab malfunctioned and allowed Jaime to have some control. One of them invoked Peacemaker. Would be pretty cool to see a cameo.
    The costume is great. Creepy scarab and all. lol.

    The way he acts and moves in the video remind me of Spider-Man for some reason.

    Imma be real. Nothing about body armor makes me think of a design as inherently darker or more realistic, nor does embracing the comics automatically make me think comedic. The Flash has gone the vast majority of his existence wearing a largely streamlined bodysuit, so a costume closer to that rather than body armor in no way tells me the movie is a comedy. Ditto Manta.

    I don't think Dolphin's officially been confirmed.

    I'm starting to think Black Adam is going to flop
    Not that I dislike Shazam characters or the JSA but they definitely should have got a Billy cameo in this movie somehow
    Included that in the marketing and hype
    The Rock by himself cannot sell a movie

    Darker and realistic is not what I mean. It's not one or the other. I just think muscle suits are campy. We'll see when the movies release

    Isn't this provably false?

    Again, I just don’t see the correlation when it’s a thing most of these outfits already have. I’m looking a at the pictures of those two outfits and for the life of me nothing about the muscles is really standing out to me.

    Isn't The Rocks' name still good?

    Probably as they get more trailers and marketing going it'll be a better gauge for public interest.

    Nah I think Black Adam is gonna surprise a lot of people. Plus you can’t go wrong with Pierce Bronson.

    The Rock is probably the biggest star the franchise has had so far.

    **** if anything I have the most confidence in Black Adam doing well, besides the Rock you’ve got the JSA in there as well.

    You think a Billy cameo will make it not flop?
