Since Suicide Squad 3 hasn't been confirmed and James Gunn is busy reforming the greater DCU, there is no Suicide Squad 3 release date. Gunn has the future of the DCU planned all the way out to 2025 and beyond, introducing both a new Batman and Superman.

Suicide Squad is edited like a series of music videos, which make for a great trailer, but not a great movie. While the confusing title may mislead people to think it's a full-on reboot, The Suicide Squad (2021) is both a sequel to the original film and a soft reboot designed to correct the mistakes of Suicide Squad.

Like most breakups, this one didn't happen overnight. During the “Death of the Family” storyline, Harley grew alarmed at just how much the Joker had changed and how nothing was fun anymore. The final straw for her was when he infected her precious hyenas with rabies in 2012's Suicide Squad #15.

What is Marvel's Thunderbolts? It isn't an exact match, but the simple way of explaining the Thunderbolts is that they're Marvel's version of The Suicide Squad: a group of villains – or at least anti-heroes – brought together by third-party schemers in a possibly ill-advised attempt to turn them into a force for good.

Although it had been speculated that the poor reception of Jared Leto's performance as the Clown Prince of Crime was the main reason why he didn't reprise his role, James Gunn explained (via NY Times) that, in terms of the film's narrative, there was no place for the Joker in The Suicide Squad, as he "wouldn't be ...

A number of these films also appear on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies lists, but there are many others and several entries with dozens of positive reviews, which are considered surprising to some experts. To date, Leave No Trace holds the site's record, with a rating of 100% and 252 positive reviews.
