Suicide Squad Fan Suing Studio For 'False Advertising' Over Lack of Joker Scenes (independent.co.uk)
An anonymous reader writes from a report via The Independent: Reddit user BlackPanther2016 has threatened to begin legal action against Warner Bros and DC Comics later this week, claiming that teasing Joker scenes in trailers that did not make the final film amounts to "unjust false advertising." The disgruntled superhero fan argued in a post on Movies subreddit that he should receive a refund after driving 300 miles to London to watch "specific scenes explicitly advertised in TV ads" only to leave feeling ripped off. He says he will file a lawsuit on August 11, with his "lawyer" brother leading the case. Part of his litigious post reads: "Suicide Squad trailers showcased several specific Joker scenes that I had to pay for the whole movie just so that I can go watch those specific scenes that Warner Bros/DC Comics had advertised in their trailers and TV spots. These scenes are: when Joker banged his head on his car window, when Joker says 'Let me show you my toys,' when Joker punches the roof of his car, when Joker drops a bomb with his face all messed up and says, 'Bye bye!' None of these scenes were in the movie." Last week, Suicide Squad fans petitioned to shut down rotten tomatoes over negative reviews.
The disclaimer was actually there. It was shown in infrared, but it's clearly readable with night vision goggles.
This is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the movie The Neverending Story. Ask for a trail by jury
right on, they should be watching action and romance anime, and reading manga/LN, the immature little boys!
He saw the scenes in the trailer for free. Case closed.
Dunno; when you consider that most dating sites show nothing but fairly attractive people frequenting such sites, but reality dictates that the majority of humanity is uglier than a moldy sack of rusty hammers...
Quo usque tandem abutere, Nimbus, patientia nostra?

A jury - of his peers? ... from Reddit ... dear God.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Careful. That may be one of the things he enjoys.
The actual mystery is why drove 300 miles not kilometres.
Because Brits aren't nearly as metric as they sometimes claim to be. For instance, they buy fuel in litres but they use MPG for fuel efficiency. And then there is that weird thing where they measure their own weight in relation to big rocks.
I browse on +1 so AC's need not respond, I won't see it.

Maybe you should try traveling outside UK
lucm, indeed.
But at least they don't measure their own weight in relation to another nation's currency.
