Warner Bros. unleashed a number of new previews for their upcoming projects during their massive panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year, but it was the films of the DC Cinematic Universe that really stood out. And though the film is preparing for it’s release in just two weeks, director David Ayer and the cast of ‘Suicide Squad’ took to the stage at Hall H to debut one last trailer. You can check it out right here, followed by the movie’s official synopsis:

It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super-Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

Though we’ve been seeing a lot of ‘Suicide Squad’ lately thanks to promos, TV spots, clips, and posters galore, this final trailer is put together pretty nicely. It’s not trying to be ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ or any other superhero movie that came before it, which was somewhat the vibe given off in the previous previews. And unlike the others, we also get a bigger tease of the “enigmatic, insuperable entity” that the team has to face. It’s still a pretty big mystery, but flashing glimpses here and there amidst some funny lines from Deadshot, Boomerang, and other team members besides Harley Quinn or The Joker was a really nice touch since they dominate the merchandising and advertising.

As I’ve said before, I really want this movie to be good. This trailer gives me a little more faith in what’s to come, so for now things are looking up. But what do you think about the final trailer for ‘Suicide Squad’? Are you excited to see the next chapter in the DC Cinematic Universe? Let us know in the comments
