20 Moments That Will Define Upcoming DC Movies

14. Arkham Asylum (Suicide Squad)

The Moment: David Ayer recently Tweeted a picture of the set decoration for Suicide Squad, which showed off some Arkham Asylum patient files, straight-up confirming that the iconic location will appear in next summer's movie. When It Will Happen: Probably right at the start of the film, as The Joker and other members of the squad (namely Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn) may be housed there before being recruited for the team. Why It Will Define The Movie: Because Arkham Asylum is such an iconic location in DC lore, and has had its profile hugely boosted over the last few years thanks to Rocksteady's excellent Arkham video game series. The DCCU would be crazy not to include it, and after Christopher Nolan's movies took a more grounded approach to it in Batman Begins, it'd be great to see a version more faithful to the creepier comic book counterpart.
