We know that Suicide Squad was put through the wringer during the editing stages as Warner Bros. desperately tried to change the tone of the movie after the negative reaction received by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now, some new concept art reveals what else director David Ayer may have envisioned for the DC Comics adaptation during pre-production.

Thanks to artist Peter Mitchell Rubin, we have a batch of great concept pieces which show a terrifying new take on The Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime's horrifying attempts to turn Dr. Harleen Quinzel into Harley Quinn, and a new member of Task Force X as King Shark unleashes his powers.

This is definitely an interesting look at what might have been and with a Suicide Squad sequel in the works from Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, it should be fun seeing where the franchise goes next (especially as rumours are swirling that he'll reboot the DC Comics property).

I still can't believe they prioritized Suicide Squad over Justice League and they both ended up extremely disappointing. Wonder Woman was great, Aquaman and Shazam both look very good, but there's always going to be that start of the DCEU that was just...

I'm not a fan of this direction for the Joker either. Honestly how hard is it for WB to make a comic accurate Joker?

Omega - 12/2/2018, 3:39 AM

Joker looks way better than Jared Leto here!

ScaryTerry - 12/2/2018, 3:41 AM

I have to say, Strong doesn’t look half bad as the Joker.

TinyTinyMan - 12/2/2018, 7:24 AM

@Reverend - is that Mark Strong or Steve Carrel?

Cbmfilmjunkie - 12/2/2018, 9:38 AM

@TinyTinyMan - Steve Carrel as the Joker?!

Damn, id pay a lot of money to see that!

Talisac - 12/2/2018, 3:57 AM

King Shark has a vagina. LoL

ChrisRed - 12/2/2018, 3:59 AM

I prefer the Assault on Arkham version of King Shark but this is great too. Maybe a mix - AoA version with a Hawaiian shirt 😃

ThePott - 12/2/2018, 4:35 AM

Am I crazy or is that clearly Mark Strong as the Joker?

I really would have preferred King Shark over Killer Croc. I didn’t like how odd Croc looked with his head looking ginormous compared to his body

BlackStar25 - 12/2/2018, 8:52 AM

King Shark > Killer Croc especially if they were gonna CGI him up

Zoinkberg - 12/2/2018, 10:23 AM

Killer Croc was cool enough but they should have made him cgi.

99OPTIMISTPRIME - 12/2/2018, 10:30 AM

@Zoinkberg - A lot of people would argue that Ayer did a poor job with the CGI aspects of the movie. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
