Why has the DC Comic brand struggled in movies?

Are you referring the the 4 movie? Probably because someone made a movie to keep a license - not because they had a good idea.

The buzz on Suicide Squad is, well, not good from what I hear. And even-though most everyone is ugh, Ben Aflik, yet the trailers and stuff for Batman vs Superman look promising. Plus they are already marketing the hell out of both movies.

Where did you hear that about Suicide Squad. But yes, BvS looks amazing so far.

Oh, gosh, from like most of my friends that have already seen the trailer, the buzz on Jared Leto's 'Marylyn Manson' character.  They are saying the Suicide Squad looks like some of the worst things they have ever seen (and yes, they have seen the new Fantastic Four trailer.)  You have his fans/press agent/mom saying ‘he is a talented actor, give him a chance.’  But that only goes so far.

And that terrible picture of the 'joker' they are putting everywhere.  It's disgusting, and not in a cool way.  Just in a 'go away forever' kind of way.

Reminds me how Tracey Ullman ruined her career in the USA with this horrible add with her having a tattooed tongue – that was plastered EVERYWHERE for months.  It left you wanting to never ever see anything about her again.  Killed her specials and shows here. Haven't seen her in anything here since and I used to really like her.

I do see she is still doing stuff in the UK.
