Dial back the pretentiousness. It's just a teaser. We just want a nicely put together action movie.
Thats a major mistake that Disney is still reeling from,
we do know these characters, all of them. people who read the comics at least. Not the casuals. But making a movie for casuals alienates the fandom.
The difference in spending between casuals and fans is major.
A fan will by merchandise, Shirts,Bobble heads, posters, games, collector box set versions of the film. and see the movie multiple times in the theater.
A casual will catch it on netflix, or see it once in theaters.
So yes, i know who black mask is, i know who black canary is, I beat up Victor Zsasz a few times in the arkam games. Huntress i've seen pop up in arrow etc. The people spending the money already know these characters. They aren't going to drop a load of cash being reintroduced. Not to mention the origin story is always one of the least successful films in a franchise. It's usually after the character has been introduced the critical acclaim or financial success pours in (The Dark knight, Empire etc) because thats what the hard core money spending fans finally get what they want to see.
Yes, Make it casual friendly so no new people getl lost coming into the property, but also make sure you reward the established fan base because they generate the most revenue per capita by far.
Thats why solo flopped and the last jedi was divisive, they are catering towards the casuals and not the die hards. They may be smaller in number but, each one of them is literally worth like 100 casuals in earnings potential.
I mean Huntress is rocking 3 similar outfits. Canary is wearing two different outfits as well along with Harley
It's not pretentiousness. I already know i like these characters, what i don't know is if i like what they will do with them. Considering their history of miss steps, thats what they should invested in proving to the fans.
The majority of the movie-going audience doesn't know these characters and even the people like us who know them because we are into this stuff don't know which versions of them are going to be in this movie.
And it was a 20 second teaser with no dialogue. I'm not quite sure what you were actually expecting to see here.
It's like complaining about not getting enough plot details from that Ghostbusters teaser that just came out.
they have to reveal plot details in 20 second teaser. I just think establishing a tone would have better than establishing a style and showing off the characters. Like is this going to be light and funny movie like guardians?, or rated r and raunchy like deadpool? or something else?

Damn nikka, wait
You'll know what you need when they are done filming.
As a fan, I'm all in already
This is the first thing out from this movie that just started shooting. I am sure that all your questions will be answered but I'm not sure that anything more than the stylistic approach to the movie was what they were going for with this video.

Lol you know they literally just started filming this, the video was most likely taken while they were screen testing different outfits. We won't get that info until the teaser trailer drops, which will probably be SDCC.
I didn't know that actually, my bad. i thought it was a teaser trailer.
Nah, this was just a promo vid to show off the characters in the movie.
I forgot that Chirs Messina was playing Victor Zsasz.

I would have rather had a Secret Six or Suicide Squad 2(with a more serious tone and down to earth villain) movie than this but will see what's up. I wonder will we get Batman or/and Joker cameo and will they acknowledge Suicide Squad.
