What is this abomination!
Staff looks very solid though, not gonna lie.
Just as pure oxygen is harmful to the body, the naked truth has the power to destroy men's minds. Only by diluting it with lies and taking it in small doses can humans maintain a healthy soul.

They drop their big titles just so they could picture an isekai version of Margot Robbie.

FUCKING BASED.

That isn't bad for an isekai and with DC characters in a time when animation with DC characters usually is spotty at best, it's definitely better than most of those offerings.

Can't he be from the camp that thinks both a dog-shit? Together they have put out 30-40 films with probably less than 5 being good films. Low grade cinema for the lowest common denominator.

If it's based on suicide squad atleast show glimpses of all the characters of the team,
joker and harley duo doesn't make suicide squad.

American superhero movies for the most part are popular because it appeals to the average audience who likes explosions, fighting, ex-machina, etc. The villains are generic and almost have no dept. There are a few exceptions. Thanos was a good villain. The Dark Knight and The Joker and genuinely good films. Are superhero movies entertaining? Sure. But are they ground breaking films. Mostly no.

Now Berserk is great because of the compelling story, deep lore and amazing characters. It is way more intelligent than superhero stories. Did Miyura use gore and nudity to draw in audiences? Maybe but apart from being just mindless entertainment there's much more to it.

So in conclusion superhero stories are entertaining and you can turn off your brain and enjoy it. It appeals to many people and hence it is popular.
Berserk is popular with a different audience and for different reasons.

I am happy that atleast you consider superhero movies are entertaining and that's what I was trying to say from the very beginning. They are rich in entering factors and that's the main reason why they are soo popular. Who doesn't wants to get entertained lol.

Damn, even deep in the weebland you're not free from superhero garbage. Wasn't Suicide Squad a complete failure? And they slap a cancerous growth in the form of isekai on it for what reason?

Damn that's a bad title to set the expectations lol, hopefully it gets the style of James Gunn's Suicide Squad and not 2016 Suicide Squad. At least we have Vivy's script writer on the team.

They literally created a show about how the Joker and Harley Quinn got into the isekai? Although they are probably the last people who remember that Harley was once in a straight relationship, lol.
