Suicide Squad: 13 Biggest Questions We Want Answered

8. How Does The Joker Fit Into It?

Suicide Squad Joker Questions
Warner Bros.

One of the most exciting (although already divisive) aspects of the film is seeing Jared Leto's take on the Joker. The most iconic comic book villain in a movie all about bad guys, it'll be great to see what he brings to the table, and just how he differentiates himself from Messrs Nicholson and Ledger.

Much like Suicide Squad being an outsider from the rest of the DCEU, the Joker is an outsider from the rest of the Squad. He's not a part of Task Force X, but an agent of chaos working to his own agenda.

What that agenda is, however, is unknown. It looks as though the only Squad member he'll have real interaction with is Harley Quinn, and a lot of that may just be backstory, and while this is the Joker, there's a Riddler-esque question mark over how much we'll see him in the movie, and what he'll be doing.
