Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - Part 3

Maybe Joker is the only bad guy who's had significant interactions with him, or actually had a conversation with him? As opposed to everyone else, who sees him for a brief period of time before getting the tar beat out of them.
:hmm

I'd actually like to see an interchange between Lois and Clark, where Lois says "did you think you were the only one? There's this guy in Gotham that's been doing this for years!", prompting Clark to go and seek him out.
:hubba

But he couldn't stay in the shadows could he?
Yeah he operates at night, but what does he do if the Joker decides to pull some stunt in the middle of Gotham's biggest square - lots of people about, who the Joker plans to kill... does Batman hideaway in an alley because there's no shadows to hide in?
The SAS were probably about the most secretive special forces unit in the world, yet one day in April 1980 they had to rescue hostages from the Iranian Embassy in London – that one act displayed them for the world to see!
Batman will be thrust into situations by his enemies that will leave him open to being caught on film or photographed - I'm not saying he'd stop for interviews or whip out his bat-credit card like George Clooney, but his existence should be fact.
I think you're right, but you need to consider that the report could be:
misleading in some parts or fake. or have multiple meanings. I'll quote you some examples I really liked.

But I agree, the Joker being the only one who has met with Batman can mean a million things. He could be the only villain who has had a meaningful conversation with him or the Joker being the only connection could easily be just as far as Waller and the government know.
But I don't believe at all that he's the only one who's ever met him. I think the Joker would be the essential piece in tracking down Batman once and for all, and if the Suicide Squad revolves around the idea of trying to get a hold of Joker then I'm down for it.
 
So this movie basically starts shooting in one month.

:awesome:
 
I was hoping Karl Urban would get a more long term role, but glad to see him join the DCCU regardless.
 
I think this means that Batman has probably been caught on blurry cell phone video and security cameras, but there's nothing really known about him (is it just one guy or a group, rumours and speculation like that). Nobody knows anything about him save that he's a guy (or a group of guys) who dresses as a bat and catches criminals.

The Joker being the only one who has really interacted with him is tripping me up a bit though.
 
I think Batman will have a small part, but we don't actually see him interacting live with Wall or any of the characters. Maybe he's shown in a video or mentioned during a debriefing with the Squad members.

What I could actually see happen is the pseudo-opposite of Batman being the Nick Fury and gathering up all the other heroes for the DCCU.

It could be Lex Luthor's plan to gather up the baddest of the bad. In this film, perhaps it could be a twist that the mission is actually about 2 things: For Waller, it's to try to get a hold of the Joker. For Lex, it's an audition for Legion of Doom members in which the Joker reveals to the surviving members.

And in the end, you see that Lex and the Joker were in it together- and THAT could be the basis of DCCU. I don't know.
 
What if the mission of the Suicide Squad is to catch the Bat?

I don't see this happening, at all. I only see Batman accepting as a consultant and not a full league member. By his own terms. That thing I could see more for either Wonder Woman or Superman of course with the help of the knowledge of Batman. But anything can happen, we haven't seen this Bats yet.
 
Touche but that's if you believe the dude. Ayer has been working on the script as of only a week ago going by his tweet.

Well, if people are going to talk about El Mayimbe's stuff (and complain), they might as well have the chance to talk about Faraci's (and complain too :woot:).
 
How is TDKR the touchstone? Just because apparently Joker will be bulkier or more in shape? For goodness sakes', Batman wasn't an urban legend in TDKR for example.

Anyway, we'll see how any of this shakes out.

Pretty sure he knows that.

Dude, don't you remember the part in TDKR when the Suicide Squad helps Superman save Lois from Lex Luthor and Doomsday?
 
Hard to tell by his assessment.

Well, he's not really saying anything no one else has speculated about given what's been shown/said about BvS, SS, and the general approach WB seems to be taking with these films.
 
I like the idea of Batman as a Boogeyman or something criminals tell pseudo ghost stories about, but if only Joker has really faced off against him or seen him it kind of sounds like B.S. to me but it's Latino-Review after all. I mean if only Joker has seen him then does that mean Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, and the other rogues don't exist or haven't come out of the woodwork yet, or does it mean that when they were caught it was because Batman swooped down and got the drop on them before they could interact with him? I don't know if I could fully accept that as a fan. I want this new Batman to have existed for a while; gotten his fair share of scrapes, cuts, and bruises, and fought many foes. I want a balance of Nolan, Dini and Timm, and Burton--- gritty but fantastical.

Like "TDK", I feel where there is one masked criminal or super villain, more would follow. Gang violence leads to more gang violence. Escalation.
 
Geez if this is true... WHAT A CAST!!!!!!!!!!!

@elmayimbe
Another #HOT #SUICIDESQUAD #RUMOR For the character of THE THINKER I'm hearing Jackie Earle Haley's name being tossed around. Remember him as #RORSCHACH in #THEWATCHMEN? Take with grain of salt until otherwise confirmed but found it interesting nonetheless. #skwad #dccu #THETHINKER #DC #DCCOMICS #THEREALDCALLACCESS ��������
