The film takes a number of cheap (but very funny) swipes at the DCEU, starting early with inevitable barbs aimed at Batman v Superman (more of which later), and then at Suicide Squad. The first jab at David Ayer's film comes during Joker's attempt to destory Gotam using a mega-bomb that will destroy the city.

In a hilarious touch, Killer Croc is seen swimming under the city and arming the bomb, saying "hooray I did something!" as an obvious reference to the fact that his Suicide squad counterpart did nothing other than the same thing.

As the Joker's plan fantasy flash-forward mentions, Gotham is in peril because it's built on two flimsy plates that can be easily blown apart, sending everyone tumbling into the Infinite Abyss of Nothingness beneath it.
