Lets start with an easy one.
Later on, a now-incarcerated Boomerang calls him The Red Streak.
This chap, of course, is Ezra Millers take on The Flash, making a rather-well-kept-under-wraps cameo appearance.
He was previously glimpsed inBatman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, and will next be seen inJustice League.
The point of including Beachs Slipknot character was seemingly to establish the stakes.
Hopefully not for the same reasons that Deadpool has one.
Suicide Squadfeatured a rather large number of flashbacks and cutaway scenes.
Most of them are easy to put in order (e.g.
Enchantress then teleports away to meet her brother.
Rick feels guilty about this later.
Thats our best guess.
Going up a flight of stairs triggers Harley Quinn into a flashback.
We jump back in time to see her at ACE Chemicals, where the Joker.
A similar thing happened in the New 52 comics, but with a less voluntary leap on Harleys part.
We see him tying someone up to find out information about where Harley is being kept.
Maybe he even made them in the first place.
Dzamor grants her powers, embedding the Enchantress persona inside her.
InSuicide Squad, things play out differently.
Enchantress heart, for unknown reasons, is separated from its body.
This allows the government to control her for a time.
She lets him out by latching him onto an unfortunate guy in a public toilet (Alain Chanoine).
But its made clear that they are ancient beings who have walked our planet for thousands of years.
While her brother is in the same room.
Thats pretty awkward, especially when you consider how many gloopy goons she makes.
Enchantress and her brothers plan isnt exactly discussed at length in the film.
Their response is to make their own machine, which is capable of destroying a lot of stuff.
They hook up Amanda Waller to their machine to work out the best top-secret locations to hit.
The gloopy goons are created to help them protect the machine, I think.
When the machine is at full power, a big white light emits from it.
It sucks up debris and swirls it around in a circle.
What actually is the light?
Its unclear, so Im going to use the term magic juice whenever I need to talk about it.
And whats the purpose of the swirling debris?
To look cool, Id guess.
They have these heroes on file, but opt for villains instead.
The simple answer is this: because thats the whole premise of the film.
He grows much taller and his appearance completely changes.
What exactly is it that El Diablo transforms into?
Also, El Diablo did mention the devil earlier on, while describing his powers.
Rick does as hes told, theres a big explosion, and El Diablo is not seen again.
Hes dead, then, unless a future film opts to prove otherwise.
Apparently so, which is an interesting precedent to set so early into this shared universe.
Easy explanation: shes tough as nails.
Maybe she was just far enough away that she didnt get pulled in and killed.
Well, that one was definitely an explosion.
Unless Enchantress did do something magic to save him, as she was promising to Harley.
They have a little meeting.
Its very strongly implied that she knows hes Batman.
He agrees to help her out, in return for everything that Waller has on The Flash and Aquaman.
Hell use these files to track them down and make friends inJustice League.
(it’s possible for you to already watch his recruitment attempts in the Justice League Comic-Con trailer.)
None of those films have release dates yet.
With Deadshot and headshot rhyming so perfectly, this was a prime chance.
Perhaps, like Slipknot and El Diablo, the Will Smith tie-in anthem is truly dead.
Thanks to Ryan Lambie and Simon Brew for helping to put this list together.
