6. Mad Love

Assuming Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn survives Suicide Squad (she surely has to, right?) and she steals the show as everyone has been predicting since she was confirmed, Warner Bros are bound to look for further opportunity to use her.

It could well be that the Eisner award winning arc would work as a spin-off without Batman in its own right, but keeping the Bat as Harley's intended love trophy to her Puddin' is a wonderful thought.

After seeing Harley's relationship with the Joker (and her origin) play out in Suicide Squad, and having Batman encounter her there too, it would be a nice next step to have her try and woo Mr J back by capturing Batman. And while it might seem like a fairly goofy option, the tragedy and strange love at the centre of the story would offer huge opportunity for a complex script.
