If the Squad are mercenaries and 'bad guys' hired by the government as disposable how does The Joker become a villain? To whom exactly? He's known as Batman's nemesis and Bats just had a cameo in SS

The Joker is a terrorist. He stopped being a local criminal ages ago. Even people's beloved TDK ran with the anarchist/terrorist angle. He is an enemy to everybody. He's shown up in non-Batmam comics raising hell outiside of Gotham.

Hell one of the most popular Batman stories from the 80s has The Joker traveling to the middle east to sell nukes to other terrorist. There are many ways he could've easily been folded into the main villain role in a Suicide Squad movie.

In that case why not have them take on a global terrorist network like h.i.v.e or kobra and keep the minor joker role. The problem wasn't his screen time the problem was he wasn't psychotic enough and they changed up the abusive relationship angle between Harley and joker. Joker had his own movie with TDK let that marinate a little while longer until the joker gets the spotlight again.

Because he is a much easier sell than an unknown to the general audience faction.

Honestly I thought he was going to be the villain initially too. It made the most sense and gave Harley (one of the 2 main characters) a greater dilemma to deal with and thus a more complete arc.

I enjoyed what we got for what it was. If anything its the one time I've actually been sold on The Joker/Harley relationship ironically because it was not the battered wife cliche of the cartoon and comics which I've never liked.

Nevertheless it could've and would've been a much better movie if they played it more traditional and grounded and not "epic". The scene in the bar illustrates that potential perfectly. Joker as main villain would've been a great vessel for that type of narrative. Even the director sees it in retrospect.

Of course it will. I think you meant to say DCEU and no it won't be. It's an elseworlds.

I mean I immediately recognized them as Hawk & Dove so it's not that bad. That wig though.

It looks good for as far as TV goes so I have no complaints. Since the show is called Titans shouldn't Dick Grayson be night wing instead of Robin?
