Who would have thought that, after just a single trailer, Suicide Squad will become one of the most awaited superhero movies of 2016? And who would have thought that the new Joker will be one of the reasons why this has happened?

Say what you want to say about Jared Leto's portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime "“ one thing you cannot say is that you are not interested in what he'll bring to the table.

Before moving on, check out this gif, from Man of Steel "“ a small detail, but a detail which shows us that the current DC movies are much bloodier than anybody would have expected.

 

Sure enough, Suicide Squad will be PG-13 (though, there are some rumors saying that it will be R-rated, much like all the other David Ayer movies).

Suicide Squad "“ a first origin story

Just like everybody knows, Suicide Squad will focus on the villains of the DC comics, mainly on those from the Batman rogue gallery. But it will also serve as an origin story for some of the characters.

Most notably, we will get to see how Dr. Harleen F. Quinzel becomes Harley Quinn after encountering the Joker. There are some other backstories as well, teased in the Suicide Squad trailer, but they are of no importance at the moment.

In the trailer, we see Joker and his goons launching an assault on the Arkham Asylum. And we see him threatening the good doctor à la Jacki Nicholson in Shining "“ he is prepared to torment her and twist her mind "“ he isn't going to kill her, he's just going to hurt her really, really bad.

So this is just one of the origin stories. Which one is the other, very closely related to the one of Harley Queen?
