Suicide Squad: 10 Major Spoilers From The Script Leak

8. Suicide Squad Aren't The Only Obscure Characters

Part of the reason Suicide Squad is such a left-field choice to follow up Man Of Steel and Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice €“ besides the darker, more violent tone than even those grimdark monstrosities €“ is that even with The Joker and Harley Quinn involved, they're still a pretty obscure bunch of characters. Not Guardians Of The Galaxy obscure, but still. Not far off. From the looks of it they won't be the only second-stringers on the screen, either, as the script and leaked info suggests that the film will open in a jail for supervillains, and one of the first big action sequences will be a prison riot. But with superpowered freaks. Which, besides being a super cool idea, also means that audiences will be treated to the big screen debuts of Multiplex (who can split himself into twelve different men), Jaculi (a speedster terrorist who favours javelins as a weapon), and the psychic Mindboggler. A smorgasbord for the DC obsessive, frankly.
