Can you skip Suicide Squad?
Yes, on a first watch. It is self-contained, and nothing in the main DC story depends on it. Come back to it later if you want more. Show only the DC essentials.
DC guides
- DC movies in orderDC has never had one timeline. Here is every continuity, kept separate, each in the order that actually works.
- New DCU orderJames Gunn's reboot, in order. Short, current, and the only DC continuity that is still being built.
- Every Batman actorSix actors since 1989, across five continuities that mostly have nothing to do with one another, and one actor who plays the part in two of them, thirty-four years apart.
- Every Joker actorFour film Jokers who get a name, a fifth who does not, and no two of them in the same story.
- DC essentialsMost of DC is not a series at all, which means most of it can be skipped without any consequence.
