10 Fake-Out Movie Deaths Nobody Believed

10. Suicide Squad - The Joker

Suicide Squad's treatment of the Joker was pretty shocking overall. Not only was he barely in it, but he was involved in an entirely pointless fake-out death halfway through that kept him off-screen for even longer.

During the Suicide Squad's mission, the Joker and his men arrive to rescue the Joker's lover, Harley Quinn, but their helicopter is shot down and the Joker is presumed dead. At the very end of the film he returns and breaks Harley Quinn out of prison.

Even though the fact that he was able to survive a helicopter crash of that nature is completely bewildering, it's safe to say no-one believed for a second that the Joker was really dead. After all, he's pretty much the most iconic and beloved DC Comics villain.

Even for a film as incompetent as Suicide Squad, to kill off a character of the Joker's stature so quickly would've been utter madness.
