Suicide Squad: 10 Questions We're Asking After The New Trailer

10. The Squad Is Created As A Response To Superman?

"Gentlemen. Ladies. What if Superman had decided to fly down, rip off the roof of the White House, grab the President right outta the Oval Office? Who would've stopped him?" 

Right at the very beginning of this trailer, we have an immediate connection between Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman. And Man of Steel. Because Zack Snyder loves to ask that kind of question about Supes, and even if he isn't directing this, it could mean that this film is going to be - in part - trying to answer it. 

It could just be a throwaway line, of course, but it does appear as though the Squad is being created as a means of stopping not necessarily Superman, but any super-powered hero/villain. Is that the case? If so, where does this place the film in the timeline, and what does it mean for *that* moment in Batman v Superman?
