5 The Joker Spoilers From Batman V Superman & Suicide Squad Trailers

2. He Has Crazy Henchmen

Over the years, The Joker has employed all manner of thugs to help him in his battles against The Batman, and Suicide Squad isn't shying away from showing his henchmen. 

They're not dressed as clowns, but the kind of gear they are wearing is arguably even more freaky than that. Among those helping him are a guy dressed as a cute panda, someone wearing what looks an awful lot like a real goat's head, a giant eyeball, and even one goon with a Batman mask (how well The Joker will respond to that remains to be seen). 

Based on the snippets of footage featuring them and a few other very unhinged looking people, it doesn't seem too bold to assume that The Joker has outfitted Arkham Asylum escapees as part of his team. While this may give the impression that the Clown Prince of Crime will be the main villain of Suicide Squad, bear in mind that this sequence appears to be part of a flashback as Harley Quinn's origin story is explored. 

Talking of costumes, The Joker can also be briefly glimpsed in a very different outfit than his comic book counterpart. It seems that he has more of a punk rocker look here, a style which should work well with Leto given his musical background.
