In response to the fake rumors about his method acting for the Joker, Jared Leto disclosed in an interview "There's so much hype and so much bullshit around that. I think it's just a fun thing to talk about and, you know, even when the movie came out there was so much misrepresentation about what went down. About the method acting crap. 90% of it wasn't even true and it just takes on a life of its own. It was an incredible experience, everyone was amazing... but everything's great in that world and I'm really proud to be a part of it."

Director David Ayer posted a photo from Jared Leto's early makeup tests, showing a close up of the actor with a different tattoo on his face. "This is an early Joker make up test," Ayer wrote in the post. "The research and fine tuning when crafting a character are endless." This edition of the Joker makeup features a new "haha" tattoo over Leto's left eye and a small "J" on the cheek below it. The "J" actually ended up on the final version of the character but the eyebrow ink was ultimately cut.

Strangely enough, every single member of the U.S. military in the film appears to be a Special Operations Forces member, aside from Colonel Flag. Lieutenant Edwards's S.E.A.L.s, the 160th SOAR helicopter crewmen, and even the background "infantry" soldiers wear the insignia of either the 75th Ranger Regiment or Special Forces.

As the movie was made by comic fans, it's full with Easter eggs considering other comic movies. For example, when Harley Quinn is robbing a purse she destroys a showcase and the logo of the Watchmen can be seen in the background.

At one point Captain Boomerang harasses El Diablo over him staying out of the fighting. El Diablo says you don't want him to cut loose, showing a brief wall of fire from his hand. Inside the fire is a glimpse of his Fire God form. It is the personification of the fire-demon "spirit of vengeance" that inhabits Diablo.

David Ayer revealed in a Q&A on Twitter that King Shark was originally going to appear in the film, but would only have been possible as a fully CGI character. His replacement, Killer Croc, is portrayed practically with make-up and prosthetics.

In the Closed Circuit TV footage of El Diablo's prison riot, after he incinerates half the yard, he is seen with a crown of flames levitating over his head. The crown resembles the one that Hellboy wears when he transforms into the Prince of Hell.

The mercenary Deathstroke briefly had an appearance in this film, and Joe Manganiello was considered for the role. He is slated to appear in The Batman (2021).

During Deadshot's "dossier" sequence at the start of the film, the list of weapons with which he is deadly includes the potato cannon.

The weapons Deadshot is seen handling and shooting are a Smith & Wesson SW1911 E-Series - .45 ACP, while being tested in prison. In the theatrical release it switched to a standard M1911A1, but this error was fixed in the DVD/Blu-Ray release. And a Mk 18 - 5.56x45mm fitted with a Troy PDW stock, canted back up iron sights, and an EOTech XPS sight.
