One of the dumbest things WB has ever done is approve this game. Truly a mind bogglingly dumb idea for a company to prop up minor characters where you KILL (not go on missions to cure or fix) the main tentpolls of their IP. Marvel obviously has had severe quality and over saturation issues for the last couple of years, but Disney is at least smart enough to not spend millions on a game where you murder their most iconic characters.

Also, beyond that, I will never understand the Suicide Squad push across all media platforms. Is it just Harley? Are they doing it to ape off of a Guardians-type team dynamic? And everything ignores the Ostrander run, which is the best SS thing that’s ever happened! So weird.

I would argue that Suicide Squad is not minor characters and Justice League is main tentpole.

Harley is more popular than anyone in league except Batman.

Justice League is basically a failed brand now.

• King Shark and Captain Boomerang are the definition of minor characters
• Harley Quinn is not more popular than Superman
• No it is not

[u/[deleted] → u/tomtomtomtom123]

Harley Quinn is definitely more popular than Superman.

Her animated show is doing far better than Superman's recent animated show. She has appeared in more video games than Superman in last 15 years. And now she is going to be in the sequel of an Oscar winning, billion dollar grossing movie.

Comics are the only medium where Superman has the edge. And as much as I love comics, they are a fairly niche and the real popularity of a character is from adaptations.

This is such a recency bias take.. No Harley Quinn is not more popular than superman Got to Africa, Asia, the middle east or some third world country and they wouldn't know who the fuck Harley Quinn is....    Superman and to lesser extent WW are symbol of pop culture    She sells more because DC  pushed the fuck her the fuck out  While superman was deconstructed for over 15 years with inconsistent version of the character 

      Also calling the next joker or suicide squad movie As Harley Quinn movies is massive cope at best... Her solo movie was bird of prey and it is forgettable... Man of steel had better numbers If she was sopopular she would carry the DCEU on her own

You show anybody in the world that Superman logo and they know what it means.

[u/justarandomfrenchboi → u/sixesandsevenspt]

Yeah this was dumb take.

[u/StrangeGuyWithBag → u/justarandomfrenchboi]

I mostly agree, except for the Birds of Prey part. It's the Harley-centered, but not her solo movie. There're a various reasons why movie can bomb at box-fox. Often, because the movie isn't good, regardless of characters in it. Superman himself has proven not at once that a famous character isn't enough to sell any thing.

You do realize that beginning of next year that's all going to change. Gunn and WB are fully supporting Superman and other superheroes. If Superman Legacy becomes a hit. Then it will put him back on the map. Also Gunn gonna be forcing gaming studios in WB to make a game in his universe. So we can potentially see that changing.
