11 Ways Suicide Squad Needs To Set Up Future DC Movies

2. Hint At Other Big Batman Villains

Some might consider the idea of distracting from the current crop of characters with hints at what we could have won a bad one, BUT, the longevity of the Suicide Squad requires replacements. In Amanda Waller's eyes, the bad guys are expendable, so she inherently needs a reason to believe that her agenda can continue even if her cannon fodder becomes just that.

Plus, it's not just a matter of making sure there's a ready-made stock of villains for future versions of the Squad (more of which soon), but it's also about painting a vivid image of Batman Rogue's gallery being a sort of shared community. That's never been explored in a satisfying way on the big screen (it actually was in the 1960s TV show, funnily enough), and for this sort of ensemble to have legs and the potential for spin-offs, it's a must.

The Hints

We know we almost got King Shark, so that's a possibility for a sequel (considering the inflated budget that usually comes with sequels and the fact that it was only cost that kept him out). And the confirmation that there is a mid-credits scene that hints at future DC films seems to imply good things.
