Suicide Squad: 10 Questions We're Asking After The New Trailer

4. How Much Batman Will We See?

We've known for a while that Ben Affleck's Batman was going to be in Suicide Squad, but it wasn't clear what sort of role he'd have in it, or how much we'd see. 

Now that we've had this trailer, we still don't know for certain, but things look a little clearer - and surprising. Bats is seen in a few big shots in this trailer - there's the Batmobile, him carrying Harley Quinn, and diving into the water - so does this mean that there's going to be even more Batman than initially expected? 

And how exactly does he fit into things, both with the Squad and the timeline? Is he going to appear just before the main events of the movie, which could be before Batman v Superman, or will he be in the 'present' of the film, which is likely to be after BvS?
