Suicide Squad: 10 Biggest Questions Left Unanswered
What the hell happened in this movie?
Regardless of your own opinion on how the long-awaited Suicide Squad ended up, it's safe to say that the movie has left a ton of questions up in the air, either due to editorial interference from Warner Bros, intentionally dangling threads to be potentially resolved in future movies, or perhaps because David Ayer's script just wasn't that good.
Some of these questions genuinely tantalise for what's to come while others are downright infuriating, and if the movie doesn't have legs at the box office, then you can expect a number of these mysteries to remain unsolved forever more.
From the ambiguous fates of key supporting characters to piecemeal villain schemes and vital backstory that's conspicuously absent, Suicide Squad left fans scratching their heads about a lot of the key details. All fans can do for now is present their own theories and opinions, as has been handily provided in this article.
Here are the 10 biggest questions Suicide Squad left unanswered...
10. How Did The Joker Survive The Helicopter Crash?
The Question: After The Joker's botched rescue attempt of Harley Quinn, the helicopter he's riding in crash-lands, and despite the violent explosion mere seconds after Harley falls out, he somehow survives. This occurs off-screen, so the audience is left to ponder: how the hell did he make it out alive?
The Likely Answer: Ignoring the fact that The Joker has plot armour, there's almost certainly an extended version of this scene where the helicopter takes longer to explode and The Joker's escape is more plausible.
He likely bailed from the chopper to a nearby building in similar fashion to Harley, perhaps callously sacrificing some of his lackeys to emerge unscathed. It's entirely possible that this will appear in the form of a deleted scene sometime down the line, because it's tough to believe they didn't shoot it.
As it stands, not showing it feels especially cheap because, let's face it, trying to convince the audience that The Joker's actually dead is a futile endeavour, and giving the Clown Prince of Crime any additional screen time probably would've benefited the movie.
