More Joker, more Harley Quinn… but who’s the big bad?
Apart from Harley Quinn, hes the member of the team who has been getting the most screen time.
El Diablo lights up
El Diablo, a.k.a.
What’s most exciting about El Diablo here is that he has a full-on superpower.
This is Captain Boomerang
Captain Boomerang traditionally has the ability to throw various types of specialized boomerangs.
But his scenes in the trailer are notable for their lack of boomerangs.
Unlike El Diablo, Boomerang doesn’t have clear moments of power demonstration.
He just punches people.
Before any stills were released fromSuicide Squad, this was the character that was the biggest question mark.
Would the production be able to pull off a humanoid crocodile monster?
And would it look too hokey?
The answers, respectively, are definitely “yes” and “no.”
Mr. Eko looks straight badass.
Who is Enchantress?
Cara Delevingne’s character is by far the biggest mystery of the film.
Are we looking at one of the film’s villains?
Wither Slipknot?
Slipknot is probably going to die.
What happened to the Humvee?
Whatever it is, it is strong as is the mysterious big-bad wielding it.

The powerful goo also shows off some of its decorating abilities.
In addition to the rows of knives surrounding Joker, there are also piano keys.
The rest of the disassembled instrument is off to the side of the frame.
And if that wasn’t clear, the vapors rising from the blade take the form of skulls.
It’s actually pretty creepy.
A big, bright bad
Is this the big bad?
She/he/it has some serious power, sparking some neon bolts while shredding through several subway cars.
Is it a flashback not necessarily to his own creation, but that of another…?
What we’re seeing might be the creation of Harley Quinn.
A sad clown
…which brings us back to Harley.
Even though this is a story about badguys, Harley Quinn feels like the first among equals.
She’s a doctor, taken by the Joker to essentially become his Bride of Frankenstein.
The result is a loopy, laughy blonde, who is the fractured shadow of her former self.
If Harley’s arc is anything along those lines, that’s pretty damn compelling.
