The first footage for "Suicide Squad" debuted at San Diego Comic-Con July 11.
Fans went nuts over it.
The more than three-minute trailer showed off footage of the Squad — the team of DC Comics' villains rounded up by the government to use in black ops missions.
It also previewed our first look at the new Joker, played by Jared Leto and the first onscreen adaptation of Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), the Joker's henchwoman/love interest in the comics.
The group is expendable. If they stray from their mission, they are killed and are easily replaced with another member of DC Comics' large rogue's gallery.
When the trailer leaked online after its Comic-Con debut, Warner Bros.' released the footage Monday.
The film looks very promising as the first comic-book adaptation to directly focus around a group of villains.
Let's take a closer look at the footage to see what the film will be all about.

We're introduced to Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), the character who will lead the charge bringing the Squad together, sitting with some government figures.
She tells them she's done it. She's found "the worst of the worst." Cue an image of a solitary confinement inside a prison facility.
The idea is to assemble a task force of the most dangerous people on the planet so they can "do some good." Why use bad guys to take on government black ops missions? Because 1. they're expendable and 2. If anything goes wrong, Waller can pin the blame on the violent criminals.
