Suicide Squad: 9 Cool Deleted Scenes Missing From The Extended Cut

9. The Joker Goes Batty

The Joker’s time in Arkham is brief in the final cut, flashing from his meetings with Harley to his men breaking him out. Numerous photos and set footage shows this sequence originally took more time, including a longer conversation during Harley’s shock therapy, and Joker ultimately sparing her life when Jonny Frost is about to execute her.

One striking set photo showed Joker with a baseball bat during this scene, which is nowhere to be found in either version. There was a brief bit of business before he shocks Harley where Mr J is seen beating a guard to death, which apparently was too dark for a scene that’s already a bit...well, shocking.

He was also later seen beating another poor security guard to death while breaking into Dr. Van Criss' lab, which again was too much for the rating.
