13 Unanswered Questions From 2016's Comic Book Movies
13. How Did The Joker Survive The Helicopter Crash? - Suicide Squad
The Question: After attempting to rescue Harley (Margot Robbie), The Joker's (Jared Leto) chopper crashes and explodes into a fireball. How, then, did he survive to return at the end of the movie and spring Harley from jail?
The Likely Answer: First and foremost, the ever-trusty plot armour, which even the most casual comic book fan knows about and therefore makes it pretty insulting they'd even try to fool us into thinking J was actually dead.
Many expected that the movie's Extended Cut would clear up The Joker's survival, but it didn't, so we're left to assume that he managed to bail out of the chopper at just the right second, miraculously not breaking any bones or dying, and quite possibly sacrificing one of his lackeys to somehow make a safe landing.
"Because reasons" is the real answer, though.
