A team of imprisoned bad guys get a chance at redemption with an impossible mission.

The big summer silly season of movies has pretty much come and gone but that doesn’t mean that it’s a quiet time in the cinemas as there’s plenty of family fare still on the way in August.

Jared Leto is set to take on the iconic role of The Joker in Suicide Squad and he's doing some pretty creepy things in character.

Suicide Squad has a huge roster of DC supervillains, but the king of them all is undoubtedly Joker.

Alrighty so Suicide Squad is coming out in August and Warner Bros will be hoping for a monster of a hit after the slight stumble of Batman v Superman.

Movie promotion is a strange thing - a game played between studio and audience trying to figure out how much they can give away to entice folks to part with their hard earned cash.

Although 'Suicide Squad' hasn't hit cinemas yet fans are already looking forward to seeing more of Jared Leto's portrayal of the clown prince of crime.

Suicide Squad is due to release in August and anticipation is already at fever pitch, suggesting Warner Bros might have a real hit on their hands.

Suicide Squad is the next movie on the way from the DC Universe which recently brought us Batman v Superman - but it's a very different affair because this is a story about supervillains.
