The Suicide Squad: 22 WTF Moments

17. A Rat Wants To Be Bloodsport's Friend

One of the film's funniest recurring gags is the subplot where Ratcatcher II's favourite rat, Sebastian, wants to make friends with Bloodsport, despite the fact that Bloodsport has a long-standing fear of rats stemming from his abusive childhood.

Ratcatcher II theorises that Sebastian waves at Bloodsport and wants to be his pal because he senses that there's good in him beneath his murderous exterior.

Bloodsport isn't much convinced, being thoroughly creeped out by Sebastian for most of the movie, until finally agreeing to stroke him in the closing sequence as the adorable rat sits on his knee. Now that's character development.
