It’s no secret that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice didn’t really have much humor. It’s often what starts fights between Marvel and DC fans. DC fans say that their films don’t need a bunch of jokes to be great. While I don’t consider Marvel films to be comedies, there’s definitely more humor in them.
For the record, I’m not implying all fans are like that.
Well, after the mixed response for Batman v Superman, it appears that Warner Bros. are taking note of said humor – according to Birth.Movies.Death:
A couple of weeks ago I spoke with an excellent source who told me something surprising: the trailer for Suicide Squad, the one with the Queen song, did not represent the film as it then existed. “Every joke in the movie is in that trailer,” this source told me. The enormous positive response to the trailer led to Warner Bros requesting reshoots that would alter the tone of the film, bringing in some more of the lightness to which audiences responded.
I have since spoken to more sources and I understand that the reshoots are happening right now, as recently as this week, and that they’re big – tens of millions of dollars big. And they’re adding more humor and lightness into the film.
Personally, I think this is a good thing. It definitely can’t hurt.
