    With the first Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad trailers now both out, I'm wondering what people think of DC going the darker, more adult route. I'm familiar with Suicide Squad, not so much with Batman vs. Superman. Do you think this is a tactic to differentiate themselves from the more PG Marvel movies, or do the movies simply fit with the nature of the comics? Or is it a bit of both? Either way, I think it's a good move and I'm ecstatic for both, especially SS.

    I think it's both making itself different from Marvel and following the comics. Not to say all DC comic books are mature, just the majority.
