Suicide Squad: 13 Theories That Were Utter Bull
Joke's on you, fans.
The time for speculation is over. Suicide Squad is finally here, and for better and for worse, fans are able to soak in David Ayer's neon-soaked blockbuster for themselves.
Regardless of your own opinion of the movie, it's safe to say that just about everyone had their own ideas about how things might end up, and it was hard not to get caught up in the rampant rumour mill surrounding the production.
Who is The Joker really? How much is Batman in the film? What about those mysterious villains largely masked in the marketing? There was a lot left up in the air until release day (a refreshing riposte to Batman v Superman, which blew most of its wad in the trailers), and now we finally know what conjecture ended up being true, and what was nothing more than hot air.
Here are 13 Suicide Squad theories that were utter bull...
13. Batman Has A Large Supporting Role
The Rumour: In the months before release, word spread from test screenings that Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader actually had a far larger part in the movie than anyone expected. More than a cameo, it was a straight-up supporting role.
How Much We Believed It: It seemed plausible enough given how his presence was increasingly played-up in subsequent trailers, and if the footage had been shown off in test screenings, then it made sense. 7/10
The Truth: Batman appears for perhaps two minutes in the final movie in two short scenes, while Bruce Wayne shows up in the mid-credits scene for an additional minute-or-so. No word yet on whether there's more Batman material ready for the Blu-ray or these "screening reports" were just total bulls***.
