The Joker Stands Apart In New SUICIDE SQUAD Poster

Jared Leto's Joker intimidates the rest of the Suicide Squad into respecting his personal space in new poster for director David Ayer's "anti" superhero film. Just how central is the Clown Prince of Crime to the overall plot of the movie? Is Harley secretly in cahoots?

This poster for David Ayer's Suicide Squad channels the Joker's familiar purple and green and even gives us a smiley face. Just how much of a factor will the Clown Prince of Crime play in the film? Does Amanda Waller dispatch Task Force X to stop the Joker? If Waller put the Joker "in a hole and threw away the hole" how does he escape? With so much attention on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice we surprisingly know very little about the second DCEU film arriving in theaters this August.

Directed by David Ayer from his script, Suicide Squad stars Will Smith (Deadshot), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag), Jared Leto (the Joker), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Boomerang), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Ben Affleck (Bruce Wayne), and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), with Raymond Olubawale (King Shark), Jay Hernandez, Ike Barinholtz, Jim Parrack, Adam Beach, and Scott Eastwood. The film releases on August 5, 2016!




In the comics, the Suicide Squad, also known as Task Force X, is a name for two fictional organizations in the DC Comics Universe. The first version debuted in The Brave and the Bold (vol. 1) #25 (1959), and the second in Legends #3 (1987). An "original" Suicide Squad was retconned into existence in Secret Origins (vol. 2) #14, in order to form a connection between the two Squads. The current Suicide Squad (created by John Ostrander in the aforementioned Legends #3) is an anti-hero team of incarcerated supervillains who act as deniable assets for the United States government, undertaking high-risk black ops missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences. The group operates out of Belle Reve Penitentiary, under the command of government agent Amanda Waller.
