We learn more about Weasel’s past. Circe reveals her vision of an apocalyptic future to Waller. Frankenstein hangs out with his new best bud.
DC also released a teaser for James Gunn’s small indy feature that it will be releasing next year.

This is a revision of what little was established in The Suicide Squad regarding John's character, although I can accept both that the number of victims was exaggerated and that they really weren't his victims; he's always been more of a goofy comic-relief character anyway. (Although it seems weird both that there were so few kids at the school and that it was abandoned except for them and John.) That attorney has her work cut out for her.
Also good was Circe and Waller, although it left unanswered the question of just how the princess would conquer the world and slaughter all the superheroes up to and including the Justice League--although the gorilla in the background was probably a major clue, if that's who I think it is--and finding out that Eric Frankenstein may be more articulate than the Boris Karloff archetype, but is still hilariously clueless regarding many things.

Also, let's just admit that the real hero of the teaser trailer is Guy Gardner's bowl haircut.

Not only does Grodd appear in Circe’s vision, he also makes a hidden appearance in the Superman teaser.

The trailer is surreal to me because I grew up down the street from where most of it was filmed. I dropped my girlfriend off at the "Daily Planet building" before work on a regular basis recently. I'm not sure anything could have snapped me out of the fugue it put me into other than Krypto, the real MVP of the show.
I was incredibly upset by the Weasel story, because "misunderstood gentle monsters treated horribly" is probably my number one most triggering trope, and when you throw in dead kids and not being able to save someone, jeez, I just can't. The only saving grace is that I'm pretty sure Weasel has either completely suppressed this memory as a result of PTSD or just has no long term memory at all, because he's a feral weasel man.
It is interesting that both fire and water appear to be Weasel's mortal enemies, although neither can kill him, apparently.

i believe there was a sign in the background at the school saying something about it being break - so i'm guessing these are simply the kids who were using the playground, but school was not in session.
