My honest reaction to both:

BvS:doako (bonus points if you decide my acronym)

It's fine, forgivable, just like the movie will be. Will batfleck be the best batman? No, but he'll be fine, forgivable.

Will it be as good as two American icons fighting on the big screen for the first time should be? No, but it'll be fine, forgivable.

At the end of the day, this movie will do what it was meant to do, complete its three prime directives:

1. Make money

2. Have some cool fight scenes

3. Set the world record for longest movie trailer (looking at you justice league movie.)

Suicide squad:

I had such hope for this one. It was apparent to me from man of steel that all the heroes in this cannon would have sticks up their butts, so I was hoping the villains to be a change of pace, almost like guardians of the galaxy, but with bastards. So, my first response after the trailer was:

GOD DAMNIT WHO KEEPS PASSING OUT THEM FUCKIN STICKS?!?!?!?!?

Nope, this one needs to show off its weight and importance as well, although I do think the suicide squad is a pretty solid allegory for this entire dc cinematic universe. Let's think about this:

These movies are trying to stand toe to toe with a film series with several blockbusters under its belt. They will have one movie to establish their heroes before their big crossover, whereas their opponent had 5, and have less establishment in the field, less a-listers, less big writers and directors, and they lost their only advantage of more iconic characters as soon as I am groot became more said than looks like a job for superman. This isn't facing guys with the home team advantage anymore, this is walking into hell and trying to pimp-slap Satan. So all in all, I'd say this mission dc is on, is suicide. Hmm,  maybe their movies are more self aware than I thought.
