Hey Friends
I have been asked a few times to tackle this movie, but I always deferred to the hope of an Ayer cut. We finally got the Snyder approval, but have been less hopeful for the Ayer cut lately, so I decided to take a look, and ended up with this edit.
In my typical fashion, exposition gets cut drastically. The last time something is explained, is hopefully the only time it is. My intent is to leave some mystery and suspense, and not everyone needs to be a main character. I didn't know these characters besides Harley before watching, and that is the perspective I maintain. Slipknot is simply a plot device, not a main character.
Also, Enchantress is a horrible villain, so I have removed as much of her dialogue as possible to make her more menacing implicitly, and removed as much hip-shaking as possible. Hopefully this puts the movie focus less on her and more on the growth of Harley, Deadshot and Flag, the real main characters. Most of the Joker dialogue is removed when possible.
Scene sequence is also adjusted in the first half to better introduce the characters organically.
Update: Now the subtitles for Enchantress and Incubus have been replaced with a focus on building a beacon to alert Apokolips.
Initial Run Time: 2h14m
New Edit Run Time: 1h49m
