Here are the highlights from our viewing of the extended version.
(Warning: Spoilers below.)
During Amanda Wallers introduction of Harley Quinn, there is some slight additional dialogue.
The short conversation leads right into Harley asking if the Joker planned to kill her.
As previously mentioned, Leto has boasted about the plethora of additional Joker footage left unseen.
She speeds ahead, skidding the bike in the way of his car.
Youre not leaving me, she yells.
I am not somebody who is loved, he boasts.
Im an idea, a state of mind.
But before he can even speak, Harley pulls a gun from Jokers jacket and kills the man.
She then turns the weapon on Joker.
Dont hurt me, he taunts.
Ill be your friend.
He quickly grabs the gun from her with no resistance.
The scene ends as he notes that Harleys too crazy to be insane.
The lead guard then points to another man who is sporting a rubber hand.
The director also gets the glamorous job of hoisting the giant dead goat that serves as Crocs dinner.
The extended version evolves the relationship a bit.
Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) approaches the alpha of the villains to make a deal.
You must really love this girl, says Deadshot.
I thought love was bullsh, responds Flag.
Actual love, I rated that with UFOs lots of believers, no proof.
And then I met June.
The soldiers story resonates with Deadshot, who declares that hes got Flags back.
Harley isnt good at making friends
The clear breakout ofSuicide Squadis Margot Robbie.
She has an absolute ball, playing the unstable, baseball bat-totting villain.
Her first target is Killer Croc, whom she asks why he eats people.
She continues to taunt him, trying to diagnosis him with mommy issues.
I can recommend a good therapist, she cracks.
Daddy wanted a son, so she has to hide behind a mask, teases Harley.
I am not hiding, Katana responds as she pulls off the mask.
The gangster move impresses Harley, who suddenly gets dragged away by an irritated Deadshot.
He thinks it would be nice if she stopped acting like a drunken stripper.
Suspecting that he has already made a deal, she doesnt care what the rat and sellout wants.
Harley knows Deadshot is only looking out for his own interests.
I know how the world works, she declares.
And when it comes to the heart, its everyone for themselves.
Suicide Squadis now available on digital HD and will be released Dec. 13 on Blu-ray.
