It's easy to forget that Ben Affleck had a tiny role to play in Suicide Squad, but yep, there he was. And hey, so was Ezra Miller as The Flash. But if you were thinking James Gunn might want to bring those characters back, minus Bat-Fleck of course, for The Suicide Squad then you're about to be very disappointed. That shit ain't happenin'.
A fan (?) on Instagram got pretty annoying in asking for more Batman scenes in The Suicide Squad, and he probably went and cried in his Fruity Pebbles when Gunn finally responded...

That's a "No", good buddy.
There will be enough characters to wrangle with Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, Idris Elba as whoever, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, John Cena as Peacemaker, and more.
Now with 100% less Batman, The Suicide Squad opens August 6th 2021.
