The ace chemical plant explodes all these all these killers and thugs and gangsters running around. No mentioning of the main man BATMAN??

The producer want to lose all of their money, so they didn't put him in.

They could’ve at least mentioned him. that he’s out in space or something. like they did on Spiderman far from home about the other avengers. When Spider-Man ask Nick Fury why the other avengers couldn’t help him.

I didn't see this movie but they should have done that.

I saw Joker and was amazed they said Gotham City. I didn't think they would. Showing him going to see child Batman was bizarre and stupid, but at least he is in that world.

Why was it bizzare and stupid?

[–] TheAdlerian (2092) 5 years ago

It makes no sense regarding the timeline of Joker and Batman.

By the time Batman grows up Joker will be 60 or 70.

In a society of Vampires waiting for his bat signal to light up

This takes place in Gotham, Batman wouldn’t investigate the chemical plant exploding?

[–] thenewnexus (1911) 5 years ago

Like I said hes currently with his vampire clan

The new Batman wouldn't fit right in this movie.

Yeah, I wondered that. How come Batman didn't come to help?

Small niggle. It wasn't his film.

[–] Xaccah (93) 5 years ago

Neither was suicide squad, he was there. They went even in Gotham. They could’ve mention him

[–] hurricane (1959) 5 years ago

Harley did mention him earlier in the movie, but not in a way that would explain why he wasn't present during the finale.

It didn't really bother me. If every time there's a Suicide Squad / Birds Of Prey movie, they have to come up with some excuse or explanation as to where Batman is, then it'd get a bit tiresome. The audience can assume this was happening whilst Batman/Bruce Wayne was off doing something else. Maybe he had a mission with The Justice League.

It'd have been nice if there was some line of dialogue explaining where he was, but I don't think the film suffered from not having it.

Suicide Squad took place outside of Gotham mostly.
