Details About BATMAN's Role In SUICIDE SQUAD; He's The Boogeyman Everyone Fears

Latino-Review's El Mayimbe has struck again! After bringing us three big Suicide Squad-related scoops, concerning the villains, Deathstroke, and the Joker, this morning he's dropped some serious information about how Ben Affleck's Batman plays into the upcoming David Ayer-directed film!

According to Mayimbe's sources, prior to the events of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Dark Knight is considered a sort of urban legend, a sort of boogeyman that criminals fear and that the government absolutely despises. Additionally, up to that point, the Joker is actually the only person to have ever come face-to-face and/or met with the Caped Crusader for an extended period of time, possibly due to him murdering one of Batman's sidekicks, which makes the Clown Prince a vital asset for 
Viola Davis' Amanda Waller.

Due to his propensity to live in the shadows, Batman has managed to become a priority target for Amanda Waller and sometime during Suicide Squad, her team will be seen watching footage of the Bat in action. Mayimbe also teases a bit of dialogue that reveals that Waller sees him as the key to tracking down all "the supers." This would mean that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and possibly others will presumably become known to the public after Batman v. Superman.

Whether or not Ben Affleck makes an appearance is still unknown, but everything else about the new Batman sounds pretty great. What do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Additionally, up until that point, the Joker is actually the only person to have actually come face-to-face with the Caped Crusader.

So you're telling me, Joker is the only person to come face-to-face with Batman? Sure we don't know all the villains Batman has faced but I'm pretty sure Harley would have met Batman if Joker has.

Also,

the Dark Knight is considered a sort of urban legend, a sort of boogeyman

How can you be an urban legend or a boogeyman when you drive around with this...



and also has the Bat signal...



Not buying this scoop.

I can get that Waller has Joker to lure Batman but Joker the only one who's met Batman?

Does this mean The Joker will have an appearance in Batman v Superman??

Really? Joker is the only person to have seen Batman? This universe's Batman is retired already... What about Deathstroke? Surely he's seen Batman, and Harley too, unless they're using this movie as an origin for Harley, and she's still Harleen Quinzel at the beginning.

I dunno...seems like bullshit. Mayimbe has a decent track record, but he doesn't seem to get plot scoops right very often.

Hopefully this rumour is bullshit, because it makes it seem to go against continuity.

This seems....strange. An urban legend with a Bat-Signal? Hmmm

@MarkyMarkRises

Where was that confirmed it takes place before BvS and by how much time?

This seems like the first elmayimbe scoop in a while that doesn't seem right.

@MarkyMarkRises If the world is aware of the meta-humans then it needs to take place after BvS.

I mean I can by the urban legend stuff. Batman The Animated Series used it in the Legends of the Dark Knight episode but they still acknowledged the Batman does exist.

What I can't buy is the Joker is the only one who's met him because considering we have Harley, it doesn't make sense how she hasn't met Bats especially due to the fact how close she is with Mistah J.

"According to Mayimbe's sources, prior to the events of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the Dark Knight is considered a sort of urban legend,"

right there, this exact phrasing second paragraph from the top.

@TheCardist
Yes that is a little wonky, but this is the cinematic universe and they should take liberties to tell a bit of a different story

He has a bat signal too...not really an urban ledgend. Maybe he's more like...idk people know he's out there but few have seen him up close. Maybe Gordon has and joker and other villians but the public really hasnt

DrKinsolving - 3/16/2015, 7:29 AM
If people like Gotham, I guess they'll like anything....

Dammit, please don't [frick] up Batman.

Wait... "Urban Legend"

That sounds like..... A DEVIN FARCAI SCOOP!

"In this version Batman is still an urban legend, a creature of the night, and no one has ever taken his picture."
