Warner Brothers is expected to have a big presence this year, as they're bringing some of their most anticipated projects to Hall H on Saturday morning at 10:30. Among the films scheduled are The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and, of course, Batman V Superman. We'll get to that superhero face-off in a minute, but would be wrong not to at least mention the second of next year's big DC projects: Suicide Squad. David Ayer is still filming the hotly-anticipated villain team-up, and while the Squad isn't officially on WB's schedule, we'd love for the cast – or even just Jared Leto's Joker – to make a surprise appearance and show off a bit of footage or glimpses at how actors like Margot Robbie or Will Smith will bring their characters to life.

7 Reasons Why Suicide Squad Will Be The Best Movie Of 2016

Comic-Con spoiled us rotten this year. The new Batman V Superman trailer surpassed all expectations, aside from Lex Luthor’s rat-tail hair of course, and the footage from Fox’s R-rated Deadpool movie blew the minds of everyone in the room. However, amongst all of the commotion, it’s easy to forget that another comic book trailer debuted at Comic Con too, one which could be the dark horse of ‘superhero’ movies and - whisper it - could even turn out to be the best movie of 2016.

6) Expanding The DCU

While Phase 2 of the MCU is coming to a close with Ant-Man, DC are still in the early stages of their venture and are busy playing catch-up in terms of establishing a believable universe. While it may seem somewhat forced to include numerous members of the upcoming Justice League in Batman V Superman, the concept of Suicide Squad feels like a natural way to expand the roster of potential villains that can be tapped for future movies.

Aside from Loki, Marvel have struggled to pit their heroes against memorable villains, so releasing Suicide Squad this early on in the overall schedule may be a shrewd move on DC’s part, enabling them to sidestep this flaw that Marvel are still struggling to address. Also, potential Suicide Squad sequels could easily bring back fan favourite villains from the stand alone movies for future ensemble pieces.
