Suicide Squad ended with The Joker breaking into Belle Reve Prison and freeing Harley Quinn. Clearly set up to be a surprise twist ending after the villain's apparent death in Midway City, it meant Harley was freed from captivity and once again able to cause chaos alongside her Puddin'.
That wasn't the film's original ending, however. As filmmaker David Ayer has recently established, The Joker was going to align himself with Enchantress in exchange for him and Harley being made the King and Queen of Gotham City. Instead, Harley refused, and stayed loyal to Task Force X.
An image believed from the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad shows that breakout, albeit with a slightly different twist. It almost looks as if The Joker is taunting or tormenting Harley, an indication that he would have come looking for revenge during this breakout after she spurned his earlier advances.
Reshoots likely changed this, and instead gave the couple a "happy" ending. That didn't last long once Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) was released.
