Suicide Squad: 10 Biggest Questions Left Unanswered

10. How Did The Joker Survive The Helicopter Crash?

The Question: After The Joker's botched rescue attempt of Harley Quinn, the helicopter he's riding in crash-lands, and despite the violent explosion mere seconds after Harley falls out, he somehow survives. This occurs off-screen, so the audience is left to ponder: how the hell did he make it out alive?

The Likely Answer: Ignoring the fact that The Joker has plot armour, there's almost certainly an extended version of this scene where the helicopter takes longer to explode and The Joker's escape is more plausible.

He likely bailed from the chopper to a nearby building in similar fashion to Harley, perhaps callously sacrificing some of his lackeys to emerge unscathed. It's entirely possible that this will appear in the form of a deleted scene sometime down the line, because it's tough to believe they didn't shoot it.

As it stands, not showing it feels especially cheap because, let's face it, trying to convince the audience that The Joker's actually dead is a futile endeavour, and giving the Clown Prince of Crime any additional screen time probably would've benefited the movie.
