Batman to face Deadshot, Harley Quinn in ‘Suicide Squad’ as new promo photos emerge

New promotional images arrive via the Suicide Squad 12-month calendar, check out some samples below. More interesting is the rumored role and scenes by Ben Affleck, reprising his Batman role from Batman V Superman.

Batman News has the news that the Caped Crusader’s role in the film does not involve the entirety of the cast, but mainly Deadshot and Harley Quinn.

Batman appears in two scenes with Deadshot (Will Smith), one as a flashback, and the other is described as an “emotional” encounter. Meanwhile, Batman’s interaction with Harley (Margot Robbie) has been hinted at in the trailers with the chase scene between the Batmobile and the Joker’s sports car, they claim it ends with Batman fishing Quinn out of the car after it crashes into a river.

Director David Ayer (Fury) helms the DC Comics adaptation centering on the most insane and dangerous villains gathered by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) for an impossible mission.

The Suicide Squad cast also includes Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as the grotesque Killer Croc, one of Batman’s main villains; Cara Delevingne as the troubled mage known as Enchantress with Adam Beach as Slipknot and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo.

Of course, center stage will be Jared Leto’s Joker, a new and off-center interpretation of the master villain.
