Batman V Superman: 10 Ways It Will Set Up Other DC Movies

10. Suicide Squad (2016)

With regards to Suicide Squad, the obvious connection between it and Batman v Superman is Batman. In Batman v Superman, the Dark Knight will be a retired hero who is forced to return to action to combat Superman on behalf of the U.S. government. Batman will have a history of crime-fighting that will be established in Batman v Superman - and that history will include having apprehended and put away every single member of the Suicide Squad (the scenes with Batman that were shown in the first Suicide Squad trailer will probably be flashback scenes from when he was doing exactly that). That's right, Deadshot, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn and The Joker et all will all be in Belle Reve prison because Ben Affleck's Batman put them there. That fact will surely be established in Batman v Superman and the post-credits scene of the movie may well introduce some of the Suicide Squad members talking about their hatred of the Dark Knight.
