By all accounts Batman won’t play much of a role in Suicide Squad, and while the events of the film will no doubt have an impact on future stories the character himself will be a cameo at best. It’s still significant this will be the first live-action film since The Dark Knight that will feature Batman and The Joker together, and we’ll no doubt get a further insight into their relationship; after all, their eternal conflict is probably the most famous in the all of comics.  

Batman V Superman already established The Joker did something – presumably nasty - to Robin in the past, and Suicide Squad will almost surely flesh this out.  The two characters will have to come to blows in a solo Batman adventure at some stage, and Suicide Squad will be the teaser that will draw people back for more.

Dawn Of Justice might have been a disappointment to many, but nearly everyone agrees Ben Affleck made for a great Batman / Bruce Wayne. When combined with Leto’s crazed take on The Joker, sparks are sure to fly in the DC movie universe.
