The Revelation: During Harley Quinn's (Margot Robbie) opening introduction, it's revealed that she was an accomplice to the murder of Robin, presumably helping The Joker (Jared Leto) in his no doubt brutal act.

Why It Was Surprising: Considering that so little is known about Robin's demise in the DCEU's continuity, it was simply bizarre to see the movie downplaying a clearly pivotal piece of information regarding these characters and this world.

We'll probably get a flashback sequence depicting Robin's death in Batman's (Ben Affleck) upcoming solo movie, but considering her involvement in the hero's end, it might jar a little with the more quirky, playful and even vaguely sympathetic character that Suicide Squad largely attempt to make of her.

"Accomplice" can be a vague term, though, so it's possible she didn't inflict much if any damage on Robin physically, and of course, there's always the get-out that she was under The Joker's influence.
