I... am OK with this. I can't really see the Joker as a member of Suicide Squad, but more like the main antagonist of the movie, or him just appearing is the monkey wrench thrown in to the gears of the tightly-organized plan the Squad was sent in to execute anyway. Leto can do crazy and unhinged pretty good; I've seen him in Lord of War. I'll wait and see for more info.

If these people don't deliver on the "US doesn't actually care about justice" angle, it wont be the suicide squad. It will be another straight faced propaganda movie meant to not ruffle feathers.
There are only so many ways you can portray hiring the world's best killers and sending them after third world countries who never stood a chance in the first place.
The cartoony "neo communists" they fight in the comics will be too dated to do a movie on. Not to mention its too "light" for a DC movie based on being grimdark.
What in the name of Judas Rocking Priest are you blathering on about?!
There are 2 suicide squads:
The super commie fighters
The regular bad people that the US hires to kill third worlders because fuck justice.
1 light. 1 dark.
1 is out of the question because its too light hearted. The other is a no-no because its not politically correct and it misses out on the incentives t ride the military's dick like the Transformers did.
So we end up with a spec ops the line that justifies everything it ever does because patriotism. Which the suicide squad was never about in the first place because Hollywood wants to dumb down everything into a simple story and DC is too scared shitless to wheel its actual lore out for the public.
basically: They are gonna turn this into "america fuck yeah" because hollywood and DC have no spines.
