Suicide Squad: 25 Biggest Questions Left By The Dumbest DCEU Movie Yet

7. Why Did El Diablo Go With The Team If Not To Use His Fire Powers?

Just before going into the final battle, Deadshot checks in with El Diablo (I guess they're buddies now they've realised they both have family issues) and asks if he's going to be fighting with them, to which the fire master gives a highly non-committal response. Now I don't know who's dumber here: Deadshot for assuming El Diablo's involvement was up for question or El Diablo actually putting that question out there.

Why the f*ck did he go along if he wasn't going to fight? Was he going to stand on the sidelines making pretty images of support with fire while everyone else got slaughtered by the witch? His redemptive arc was pretty much in its final stages, so to have such confusion so late on didn't even fit the narrative.
