There are so many cool characters, I think the movie and plot would have been better served if this had been Part I of a series, rather a stand alone movie. But when DC finally introduced Harley Quinn to the comic books, they didn’t seem to know what to do with her, struggling to find the right tone in a more adult medium. Part of this is an issue between the mediums. In a worthwhile and in-depth essay on the character on Vulture, writer Abraham Riesman makes a good point: Batman: The Animated Series was a children’s show, which meant that while the Joker is still criminally insane, he’s not the mass-murdering, ultra-violent sociopath we see in the comics (or even as played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight). Harley being in love with the Joker of the comics changes the tenor of her character and how we view her. “On the other hand, if you move her away from the Joker, you remove her defining relationship. It would be like writing years' worth of Joker stories that didn't involve Batman: empty and confusing,” Riesman writes. I disagree with Riesman here. If anything, moving Harley away from this relationship (and any she uses as a crutch) is tantamount to the evolution the character desperately needs. Characters can evolve quite dramatically in the comics—it’s the nature of medium. So, why can’t Harley? Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn has a strong enough presence onscreen that her next appearance in a DC film, probably in her solo movie alongside Batgirl and the Birds of Prey, shouldn’t involve a romantic interest at all. As for Joker, he’s probably a better temporary boyfriend than people give him credit for. Even if he isn’t a very creative texter — there’s no way the Clown Prince of Crime would text something as innocuous and boring as “I’m coming for you be ready” — he does seem to value something in Harley that other male characters don’t: her internal mind, though admittedly he Frankensteined her into what she is. He probably loves the way Harley thinks because he conditioned her to think that way.Yehl, Joshua (November 16, 2016).

First appearing in the comics in 1984, Javelin is a former Olympic athlete who decides to become a criminal and uses his athletics prowess and javelin-throwing abilities to fight Green Lantern, a space cop with a magical ring that can create anything. Comic books are so stupid sometimes. It rules.

The DCEU marks the fourth time the Joker has been cinematically adapted for live-action, while Leto is the first actor to portray the character in more than one film.So happy that the film got an R rating because the suicide squad story should be like that. It should be full of blood, comedy, craziness, violence, disgusting action scenes, and curse words. Thank god they didn't care about the film being PG 13+ or whatever so more people could see it. And I feel like James Gunn was behind that part. It's not a suicide squad film if there were no sexual, bloody, violent, and disgusting content.

Goldberg, Matt (March 20, 2016). "These Two Batman Villains Came Close to Being in 'Batman v Superman' ". Collider. With all this fuss, fans expected Leto’s Joker to emerge as the leader of the Suicide Squad, a gang of colourful Dirty Dozen-style supervillain miscreants put together by questionable authorities (Viola Davies’s Amanda Waller) to take down an even worse threat: Cara Delevingne’s acting. We will never know quite what the original plan was, but when David Ayer’s film finally emerged, Leto was reduced to a bit-part player. A bit of torture here and there, some hanging around with Harley in nightclubs, and then completely absent from the movie’s main narrative. This is not Hot Toys' first rendition of the Joker, as there are versions ranging from the Batman '66 take, to figures not seen in the actual films -- including figures that were sculpted in the "spirit of the movie." The latest newest version captures Leto's looks with a newly painted head-sculpt, featuring a more serious "smile."Joker manipulates psychiatrist Harleen Quinzel ( Margot Robbie) into falling in love with him during his time as a patient in Arkham Asylum, eventually managing to convince her to free him, and repeatedly electrocutes her before taking her to Ace Chemicals. Quinzel gracefully falls into the solution that created Joker to prove her loyalty to him, which bleaches her skin and completes her transformation into Harley Quinn. [18]

By all accounts, Leto threw himself into the role with method mania, reportedly sending a letter and video to fellow stars apologising for not joining them for early rehearsals, accompanying his missive with a live rat for Margot Robbie (his on-screen paramour, Harley Quinn), some bullets for Will Smith (Deadshot) and a dead pig for the entire cast. Warner suits, aware of the potency such a blend of recent Oscar-winner and iconic role would bring to the table, must have been head over heels at the publicity.
