Suicide Squad: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

Maybe it's because he's not in it very much, but Ben Affleck's Batman is a very welcome addition to the film. In fact, his sparse use is actually one of the only directing decisions that were made correctly, because we did genuinely get to see something of him from the villains' point of view.

It's wrong to suggest he sells his fear factor, as we were all lead to believe, but there's a tangible aura around Affleck's bat that genuinely rings true, and adds further promise to his solo outing in 2018. And he definitely does look seriously imposing, which helps.

There's obviously also a brief appearance for Bruce Wayne too, and there's a lot to be said for watching him spar with Amanda Waller. Aside from Deadshot, he's basically the only one who's able to go toe-to-toe with her.
