Despite quite a few negative reviews, Warner’s Suicide Squad still made a lot of money and won an Oscar. The film was successful enough to spur rumors about a sequel and spin-offs like a Joker and Harley Quinn movie, a Harley standalone movie, and Gotham City Sirens. Director David Ayer has taken the brunt of the film's criticism. Ayer has expressed regret that he did not use the Joker as the film's main villain.
