Once shooting was up and running, you couldn't move for new Suicide Squad info. The set seemingly had worse security than Arkham, with fans able to get up close to the action and snap various location elements, specifically an origin for Will Smith's Deadshot, brief glimpses of the team assembled and, most intriguingly, a Joker and Harley Quinn road trip gatecrashed by Batman.

While many were happy to see bits of the film, a just as sizeable group lamented the ease with which the pictures had been taken. And that was maybe the point - there's a strong possibility that the sets were purposely left open to give fans a chance to get an early feel for the film and feel the scale of the production.

Now we know more about the movie this feels even more likely - none of the moments snapped then are particularly spoiler-heavy, but still manage to showcase the widest range of character designs and events possible.
