What the HELL did they do to the Wall?
Should we be calling her the Rack now?

[darkknightjrk]

Well, in recent appearences in other media, like in Smallville and Green Lantern, she definitely wasn't as heavy-set.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

It's amazing that they somehow screwed up an easy series like Suicide Squad, but they managed!

Also, surprised the Savant scenes weren't scanned.

[joasakura]

Savant? :perk: what?

[shadowpsykie]

i'm not sure how i feel about this...

Harley's character, while i still hate the costume, i sense that the writer is treying to tell a deeper story there...

im also conflicted about Waller... i liked her classic look... but she was also the best thing in Green Lantern... so i don't mind her being modeled off of her.... but...i don't know...

it doesn't seem as bad as i thought it would be... maybe i will check it out...

[darkknightjrk]

"Harley's character, while i still hate the costume, i sense that the writer is treying to tell a deeper story there..."

Definitely--the costume is not something I would have chosen, but it does look like Glass gets the character.

[alexanderlucard]

That is NOT my Amanda Waller. Oh man.

[icon_uk]

THAT is the new take on Amanda Waller? Really?

All I have to say is.... "Why?"

[sinisterlink]

Because comic ladies all have to be thin and super sexay, duh. *cries*

[crabby_lioness]

Y'know what? That's wrong on so many levels I can't be arsed to decide where to begin ranting.

[biod]

Terrible design choices notwithstanding, I will admit that Harley's costume looks a hell of a lot better in the book than it does on the cover.

[shadowpsykie]

yeah from what i can see, it actually laces closed and seems almost like a one piece... still don't know HOW the top stays on....

[ian_karkull]

This Wall better turn out to be an impostor.

[icon_uk]

That might work actually. She's used actirs in her operations before, just never of herself.

[hawkmoondirge]

Ok, um....I have no words to describe how bad this is so I'll start of nice

Harley Quinn-still harley. Ok cool we got that out of the way

The rest. ughhhhhhh. Deadshot is acting like an idiot, when in all other cases he's shown to be fairly intelligent. The rest of the squad may as well not be there, and the wall. MY GOD the wall. I really hope other author's forget about her weight loss or at least acknowledge it. Otherwise it's the same as captain boomerrang dropping 50 pounds

[hawkmoondirge]

As for deashot's intellect, I meant as a whole. he just seems out of character.

[thehefner]

Well okay, so Harley still looks like someone from a Grendel comic, and Deadshot is still way too busy-looking (and Rogers' costume design wasn't exactly streamlined to begin with), but okay, maybe I could accept WHAT THE FUCK HAVE THEY DONE TO WALLER?!?!?!?!?

Wow, this... this actually pisses me off more than any single costume redesign.

[benicio127]

You know one of the things I loved about Harley was her peppiness and her childlike enthusiasm... this is creepy Harley, and while I can *see* it and don't think it's totally out of character... it doesn't quite read like the Harley I know and love.

And man... glad they're keeping with the hegemonous body types. We certainly wouldn't want that diversity thing bringing DC down.

[crabby_lioness]

So losing weight turns black women into immoral mass murderers.

[shadowpsykie]

.... ummm to be fair.... this IS Waller...she's always been a tad Amorral (also the entire stadium is inffected with Zombies so....)

[abriel]

Well, glad I decided to skip this one. This looks horrible.

[drexer]

DC Comics: Improving our commitment on diversity. By removing one minority character each week!

[shadowpsykie]

....who did they remove...? If you mean Waller... she's still there... she's still a minority... maybe she had Gastric Bypass or something, but she's still waller...

[okkult3000]

AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[aaron_bourque]

I guess Amanda went on Weight Watchers? Or Jenny Craig?

[shadowpsykie]

it worked for Princess Leia :D

[lorriek]

I refuse to acknowledge this existence of this. Starting now.

[rickperry]

Yeah this is not Harley.

[silverzeo]

Huh... I miss Large Marge Waller... and I am sure this mission ISN'T going to be a massacre of citizens... unless they're going for that shaky cam quarantine deal

[dorksidefiker]

No. That is not Amanda Waller. I disbelieve the illusion.

[salinea]

oh fuck that shit, this is one of the reboot stuff that pisses me off the most. This is high level dickery IMO. There is way too much fatphobia out there in the world, accepted as if it was per the course, that removing one of the few positive (well, sometimes morally ambiguous, but still awesome) fat female character there is to make her into yet another sexy, hour glass shaped woman. Fuck you DC.

[cleome45]

Maybe somebody at DC will issue a statement about how they used to be fat and are now skinny and BOOTSTRAPS WILLPOWER BLAH BLAH BLAH!!

I just bought a new bottle of tequila, so I'm ready.

[miramira]

No. No, no, no. Throwing in a "puddin'" is still not enough to convince me that's Harley. And I assume they're trying to make Waller look like Angela Bassett, but didn't they check Green Lantern's box office take?

[nyadnar17]

WHY IS WALLER NOT A LARGE BLACK WOMAN!!!!!

I honestly ... I can't talk right now I am so angry. So .....about to break cod eof conduct bye.

[terabient]

This new Amanda Waller does not look like a middle aged woman who has had multiple kids and worked her way up the political ladder to a position of power. I CAN ONLY SUSPEND MY DISBELIEF SO MUCH, DC.

Also, way to shit all over your commitment to diversity and display your raging fatphobia and - you know, I'm just gonna stop here before my head explodes.

[jlbarnett]

she probably didn't. She most likely focused her entire life on government work and worked her way up quickly.

Or her excess weight led to health complications(this is a legitimate guess, not a crack. I'm fat myself) like a heart attack but she was SOOO valuable they cloned her, transfered her brain

[jlbarnett]

yuck. Someone kill Waller please.

[benicio127]

...Why?

[stillanerd]

Okay, it's bad enough that Harley Quinn redesign is terrible, but slimming down Amanda Waller?! I mean, was DC thinking her being overweight was somehow offensive? Or was it more for the sake of matching up with Smallville and the Green Lantern movie that showed a slimmer Amanda Waller? Good grief.

[mullon]

Fuck you DC. What you did to Quinn was bad enough, but making Waller thin is just vile.
