Suicide Squad Trailer Breakdown: 45 Things You Need To See

7. Harley The Stripper

There's a couple of very brief shots of Harley in what appears to be a strip club, "selling her wares" in some sort of glass cage of emotion. Could this be an allusion to the Joker's former club - the Grin And Bare It club - that plays such a key part in Brian Azzarello€™s Joker graphic novel? It would certainly fit: and it might go some way to explaining why Joker looks like a Liberace Pimp. As a club owner, his outfit is pretty subtle.
There's also a shot of Harley in the interior of Joker's car that seems to immediately follow her "striptease" and which sees Batman chasing them. So the timeline suggests Joker creates her, employs her as a danger and then they both flee the Bat together.
