If you ever end up making a superhero movie then, let me be the first to warn you: expect clips of almost every scene to leak onto the internet years beforehand.

Both Captain America: Civil War and Suicide Squad are filming at the moment, and both seem to be competing to see who can have the least footage leaked. Unfortunately for DC, Suicide Squad seems to be losing as a whole load of footage featuring the Batmobile chasing the Joker and Harley Quinn's sports car has found its way online.

The footage of the car chase, which looks to have been filmed on various bystanders’ phones, has found its way onto Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. You can watch it below.

Ben Affleck will star as Batman, a role he will also play in the upcoming Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. Jered Leto's Joker, however, will most likely debut in Suicide Squad.

The David Ayer directed film, due for release on 5 August 2016, follows the exploits of the Suicide Squad, a gang of DC Comics supervillains who conduct secret operations on behalf of the US government in exchange for shortened prison sentences.

Starring alongside Leto and Affleck will be Will Smith as Deadshot, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.

Suicide Squad is just one of the ten planned upcoming DC films, all of which will be based in the same cinematic universe similar to Marvel's own.

The film currently has a UK release date of 5 August 2016.
