sounds better then the killing joke at least

Eh, Killing Joke wasn’t great, but it was at least cohesive.  The worst issues in that movie were in pacing and added content, typical adaptation issues for the medium.  The characters that were there still had reason and purpose for being there and motivation to act and react accordingly even if it wasn’t displayed idealy.

Suicide Squad had a fair few plot holes, virtually nonexistent motivations for most characters, completely nonexistent motivations for other characters, half a cast that is completely superfluous, and another half that is either poorly or underutilized.  Half of the movie is explained away in “because” and the other half is just brushed under the rug and never brought up.  

Killing Joke had a good portrayal of the Joker.  Suicide Squad made the role feel like a waste of space and time that adds nothing to an already pointless slog of generic action and forced jokes.
