The Joker

Is Suicide Squad going to kill one of the most recognizable comic book characters ever?

Well, we don’t think so. But there is a possibility for that to happen. And all just in the name of surprising the fans. If the Joker is killed in his first outing in the DCEU, this will once again show that the powers that be aren’t afraid of offing anybody.

And even if that happens, that doesn’t mean that he cannot appear in future movies. One of the rumors concerning the first Batman flick says that it will be a prequel – the story of how the Joker was captured. So we will probably see Leto once again.

But, just like with Harley, come on – how can they kill him? Here’s another rumor, which certainly hasn’t escape you – the first Batman movie will be a Red Hood adaptation. The Suicide Squad trailer shows how the Joker kills someone with a crowbar (or something resembling one). This is the perfect setting for adapting Red Hood on the big screens.

And we do need the Joker for that.

Furthermore, despite all the hype and all the stories from the set, this isn’t his movie – he is, in a way, just a secondary character. So we are most certain that he will shine in other movies as well.

But, unlike with Harley, we aren’t so sure that he will survive.
