Who wants to see a movie full of villains? Apparently, everyone

If Warner Bros. had any concerns about a comic book movie that focused entirely on villains from DC Comics they can now put those fears to rest. The first trailer for David Ayer's Suicide Squad already has 35.3M views on YouTube. In comparison, Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con trailer has 34.6M views, so far.

A slight win for Task Force X, but it's more impressive when you factor in that Batman v Superman trailer had a head start of several days. The Dawn of Justice trailer was released just over a week ago (Sat. of Comic-Con), while Suicide Squad trailer hit the net on Tuesday, after WB felt compelled to combat a leaked copy spreading across the web.

Before anyone gets too excited about these figures, keep in mind, both Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Age of Ultron trailers, released in 2015, topped 50M views in their first weeks.
