The Rumour: Lex Luthor makes a brief cameo appearance in the movie, where he meets up with the Suicide Squad and even The Joker.

How Much We Believed It: This was easy to believe to a point, even if in the wake of Batman v Superman it threw up some logistical issues regarding the timeline and where Luthor would be during the events of Suicide Squad. Still, a meet between Lex and The Joker was too delicious to dismiss. 5/10

The Truth: There's no sign of Luthor whatsoever, who has presumably been shipped off to Arkham Asylum at this point in time, while the Suicide Squad are held in Belle Reve and of course spend most of the movie out in the streets.

The only potential for a meeting really would've been during the flashback where The Joker is in Arkham, but the timeline may not match up, and throwing Lex into the mix there might've felt a touch random.
