Suicide Squad gets the inevitable Fifty Shades of Grey mash-up
Joker and Harley Quinn film, anyone?
Despite featuring heavily in the trailers, Jared Leto’s Joker was merely a side character in Suicide Squad, appearing only briefly to further Harley Quinn’s story.
For many fans, this was something of a disappointment considering Joker and Quinn’s relationship was one of the film’s highlights.
Now the film is nearing DVD release, one YouTube channel - The Nerdy Hero - has released the inevitable mash-up many fans never knew they wanted: Suicide Squad versus Fifty Shades of Grey.
Leto previously said there was enough deleted footage of his character to release a solo film, hinting the pair’s relationship was somewhat different in the film’s original cut; It is widely believed the scene where the Joker pushes Quinn out of a helicopter was originally written so he pushes her out of anger, not to save her life, changing the duo's dynamic somewhat.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. bosses recently admitted they could do a “little better” with their DC films, something that shouldn’t be too difficult considering Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad’s negative reviews.
